    Congrats!
    You definitely looked at the process in a great way...making several smaller goals instead of just one. I think many people give up due to being overwhelmed.

    wow!!!, what a story!!, and you seem genuinely kind and funny!, I too am tall, (6') and I also have a lot of weight to lose!, I think prob way over 130..I don't even want to know the number eek!, my goal is to reach under 300 lbs for now, then under 240 (where my husband's at lol!), and we'll see from there :), I have lost 52 lbs as of this morning and am thrilled!!, I thought 50 lbs was a substantial number, and I've reached it! yay!, on to the next :), I love your outlook and I want to apply it to my journey too!, thanks for posting, you are amazing! xx

    Edited to express my slight annoyance at my ticker lol!, I really hope they fix this issue :(, I've lost 52 lbs lol!

    Incredible. Thank you for sharing your story. Congrats on your maintenance! That's the part I'm most worried about (when I get there).

    Your words are so evocative and compelling -- you managed to convey the struggle, the little triumphs and the amazement of your accomplishments in a way that those of us at the beginning of our own journeys can appreciate. Thank you so much for the honesty and the inspiration!

    Great story and I love this quote, "Quietly and consistently work towards building a better you." I just started MFP this year with the same kind of attitude but I'm loving the weight loss so far and I"m excited to keep making progress. Thank you for sharing!

    I cried when I read your story. Tears of joy for you and hope for me. I was once thin and now cannot imagine being so again. You give me hope.
