    First I want to say... Very inspiring! You've done a great job and you can totally see it on every part of your body!

    Second:
    I chose to post this because I don’t fear failing. Failing is acceptable, it is life. Even the biggest failure beats the hell out of never trying. I don’t fear the pain, it is temporary. I don’t fear being defeated (from my own demons or those in this world) because I am only defeated when *I* quit. The only person who can tell me that I can’t do this (or anything) is MYSELF and I choose to not listen to that person anymore. I am proud of where I have come this past year. Life didn’t get easier, I just got stronger.

    This ... wow... this really set me back on my *kitten*. It really hit home with me. Failing... acceptable? This is something I struggle with every day. I hope I can stay focused on this kind of thinking - that "Even the biggest failure beats the hell out of never trying"

    I can't let the fear of failure keep me paralyzed. Thank you very much for posting, you helped another person today (me)... actually I suspect several people ;)


    Keep on getting strong!

    SO unfriggingbelievably inspired by you, Jenn.

    I relate to 99.99% of everything you've said and started pretty much *exactly* where you were (we have very similar body shapes).

    Your progress is phenomenal. Looking at those pictures, you can see it so very much....especially in your calves, belly and shoulders.

    I've soooo been needing some re-motivating and I think you've just done it - reading:

    You've reminded me of why I started and how I to go about finishing. You're hardcore, amazing and totally beautiful. CONGRATS and THANK YOU!! :flowerforyou:

    I second this!! Wonderful transformation!

    You are inspirational! You look fantastic and you sound so happy to be you in your new skin. Keep it up, make loads of supportive MFP's and inspire those who are yet to come. Please friend me if you'd like support, I'm pretty well on maintenance now, but MFP is a lifestyle thing, not a diet, so I'll be here for the foreseeable future.:flowerforyou:

    I love, love love your story. I live with a chronic illness that I have had for 20 years that has caused me to be disabled. I made up my mind that sometimes you just have to do things sick. Your attitude is amazing! And what you have said about clean eating and eating fast food and treats in moderation is so true. I do the same and have lost 132 lbs in one year and a half. Diets never work. I know that if I couldn't give myself a treat or fast food I could never do this. Keep at it. You WILL go all the way and reach your goal and maintain for the rest of your life! Fantastic job on your weight loss so far!

    I have congratulated you already, my friend, but seeing this post makes me want to congratulate you again. Those photos are INCREDIBLE, Jenn! You look so very different, and I agree that the picture from behind is the most striking.

    You are my daily inspiration. I can't wait to start training for the half-tri!

    There is nothing that I cannot have and that is liberating.

    Jenn :heart: your story is so inspiring and I have been always called ( the giant girl) all my life and nowadays , when any of the family children overeat , they scare them by saying ( do you want to be fat like Mayada , no ? then don't eat much ) , even my own son is scared of turning obese like me as his grandparents( my mum and dad ) tell him whenever they Skype him ..

    I am working hard so one day I will be proud to post an inspiration like yours.. still at the beginning of my journey but very determined this time ..
    Planning a visit overseas to see my parents and I want to surprise them and tell them ( your girl DID IT ) ..

    All the best of luck in ur 60 pounds loss journey though I'm sure a strong hard working woman like u doesn't need ...
