    Wow. As all the others have stated: What an amazing story! And, I'd like to say on behalf of all Americans out there: We're sorry we made you fat, lol. America is a great country, but man we do love our fried stuffs. I'm the living embodiment of the Southern Girl: Love to cook, love to sew, and bless your heart for noticing! I've just begun my journey, but LOVE finding stories like yours, as I've lost this d@mn weight twice already and am on my third stride. THIS time, for good. I have WAY more incentive now in the form of an 11-month-old, adorable baby boy.

    Thanks for the share, and the motivation!

    Thank you Sara for sharing, you are inspirational and I'm just so grateful for your example.

    You have helped me along my journey this year, and I always like it when reading threads and your name/pic pops up. I pay attention. You have helped so many people and should be very proud of yourself for your personal achievement, assistance and inspiration to others.

    Congrats, you look awesome!

    Two words for you sister: Hero time!

    Between this success story and "Man of Steel" I'm good for the summer.

    Very inspiring. And now I believe that at 53 I'm not too old to begin lifting heavier. :drinker:

    Your awesome! You give this 45 year old hope when, at times, I think there is none! I have discovered a love for lifting and I am getting pretty good at it! Nutrition is DEFINITELY my shortfall! I may be perusing your diary a bit! Hope you don't mind!

    Wanted to bump this back to the forums in case there is anyone new who hasn't met you yet! They need to hear your story!! :flowerforyou:

    I can only see the "after" pics in your profile. Please to upload some before ones to somewhere we can still view them :)

    That said... those after pics... (in my best Chef from South park - Isaac Hayes voice): "Damn, Woman!"
