    You look AAHHH mazing!!!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing your story :-) I was wondering though, did you ever have down weeks? where you just couldnt find the OOmph to continue? I'm in that kind of slump and I was hoping you might have some encouraging words?

    Quoting so she'll definitely see this as I'm sure she has some encouraging words because she's THE most motivational person. Ever.

    Damn, do you have issues with people recognizing you? If I were shown the before and current pictures I would never assume it was the same person. Nice work, Leakster.

    You look amazing. I am shocked by your before pics. It doesn't even look like you. I never would have guessed that were almost 300 lbs. WTG on all your success. I know you hate to be an inspiration so I won't say it but you have my utmost respect and I am so lucky to have you as a friend on MFP. Thanks for FINALLY sharing your story Lea. YOU ROCK!!!!

    She's always all up on my wall, saying things like "Remember, if you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always gotten", or "nothing tastes as good as thin feels!".

    Holy Sheet!
    So glad I came across your post today. Our stats are VERY similar and strech marks about match also (although yours are from a better reason than just laziness like me lol) Your story and photos have really touched me. Thank you so much for posting this. It's slow going but someday I'm gonna make my own post like this!
    Congratulations on your confidence!!!
