    Thanks! :)

    I really switch up my routine....cardio (swimming, tennis, running, elliptical, biking, hiking) and yes, I do strength too. The two of them together are so important. Lots of squats, lunges etc.

    You look amazing and have been so motivational and inspirational to me! As your best friend, I was too busy struggling with my own weight to give you grief about your own. It's hard to point out to someone how they should lose weight when you can't even do it yourself...If I could go back in time I would slap us both :wink: !

    Regardless, I am so proud of how well you have done and hope you are proud of yourself too! :heart: you!

    Aw this is sweet. I have to say though, I have some friends who are struggling with their weight, and they don't need me to tell them. They already know, I can tell. Everybody needs to go on their own journey in their own way.

    You are correct Steph....I think it helps others to see "you" living healthier rather than being told "you" should.

    This is true....I don't think it would have helped if someone had told me I had an issue with my weight...I already knew that. Once Fit started working on hers it motivated me to do something about mine. It definitely had to come from within me for it to work-Fit was just great motivation! :smile:

    I just have to make sure I don't motivate you too much and you pass me on steps!

    You look Fabulous! Amazing results!!!! I'm on the otherside. My family continously remind me that I'm overweight. It's really not the best thing to do to anyone. Most people who struggle with their weight, know they're overweight. Like you said, no one can make you do it, you have to be ready metally, phiscially and emotionally. Support in your journey is far more important. It builds you up as you accomplish your biggest challenge.

    Congratulations on your accomplishment!

    Wow! Ok, I have been feeling dumpy and frumpy lately - will be 42 in August and haven't been able to lose the baby weight I put on with my last child born in 2008. Your pictures are true motivation! Thanks for sharing your before pictures - you look amazing now! I looked that good before and can do it again. Congrats on the hard work!!!

    I was trying to thank each and every one of you individually, but there are quite a few of you! I'm so glad to see many of you being inspired by me.

    If you put the time in and you are true to yourself, it will happen.

    Thank you to all you amazing MFP people!!!!

    I love the title of your post!! It's true and I actually told my 11 year old son today as I was tucking him in " you and I need to run together" He asked "why?" and I replied "because we are both getting chunky and that's not good for either of us"
    The best part of saying it was that I didn't feel bad saying it about myself and I knew that I am setting an example for him of paying attention to your health. So tomorrow - we run! (we both hate to run so we may "run" by kicking a soccer ball around our yard but this is better than nothing!)
