    Wow, you look like a new person! Congrats on your success!

    I liked how you set manageable goals and then set new ones once you nailed the first ones. I know that I have perfectionist tendencies that keep me rooted in one place. If I can't reach the ultimate goal then I have a hard time motivating myself to start. I think it's time I really tried your method!

    This is the first time I have ever replied to anything on these message boards. I have enjoyed other posts...but this one REALLY GOT ME. Thank you for writing this (you are a very talented writer, btw!)... this was amazing, and really impacted me. I will read it again and again. I am only 45 days in to this, and began a bit like you...not really expecting much....but have lost 16.2 so far, and that feels amazing to me!
    Thank you again - you are a gift. and your son (and goat) are very cute!

    I had to read from start to finish because you kept my interest peaked and I don't know you, but love you!
    I have just broken from a plateau and am just awe-inspired by your story. You are an amazing human being and I thank you for your post that has made a serious impact in my future (later I will post my success story when I get there and am ready!)
    You are a fabulous role model for your child/family/friends. Wow, I am going to have this one in my head for some time and will review this and think of this on days when I feel like not doing this anymore. Slow and steady for me but, onward!

    Peace and goodnight :)
