    I loved your post.....thank you. You are so right....sacrifice for a time to obtain your goal. I have always been on fad diets and loose a lot quickly but alway gain it back +. I struggle with 1 lb lost a week. But I will keep going. I will do this.

    You are so gorg!!!!!!!! I'm so proud of you. When I started this, I told myself, it is going to take AT LEAST a year, so you will NOT give up until you have given all your efforts for a year and still can't see a significant change. I'm 6 months in, and I'm already happy where I am....it's slow, but it's consistent, and I can't wait to see where the next 6 months takes me. thanks for the inspiration!!!

    Ok, on September 17th, 2012, I had my body fat measured at 44%. YES, 44%!!! As of today, I am a little over 1% away from my goal of 20% body fat!!! I measured in this morning at 21.1% body fat! How have I done this? NO MAGIC DIET PILLS, TRICKS, OR FAIRY DUST SPRINKLED ON MY FOOD! I take all the credit, sorry, not to toot my own horn, but the fact of the matter is, I did it through hard work and dedication. I looked at it like this, I wasted over a decade being fat, feeling bad about myself, having low self esteem, wishing I could wear sexy clothes, and wanting so bad to make my husband and kids proud; I wasted over a decade feeling this way... I figured, 100 pounds can be lost in 1 years time, with hard work. I can give up 1 year of my life, saying no, being strict, and working my *kitten* off, to finally be who I want to be. 1 year! Give up 1 year, by the time that year is up, I wont want to go back to my own ways, I will have learned to control myself... SO THATS WHAT I DID, I GAVE UP A YEAR, I said NO to my family members and friends who wanted me to go out to restaurants 3-5 times per week, I said NO to Saturdays that consisted of an entire bag of flaming hot cheetos, a 12 pack of beer, and a couple thousand calories of chocolate. I said NO to a second piece of cake, I said NO to 3 donuts, and instead only had 1... I said YES to daily exercise, I said YES to shopping for better choices at the grocery store, I said YES to being healthy, I said YES to wanting to live my life as the person I always wanted to be... 1 YEAR, THATS ALL IT TOOK, NOW IM HERE, AND I WAS RIGHT, I DONT WANT THE THINGS I WANBTED BEFORE. I am happy with a handful of hot cheetos, I am happy with just a couple beers, I am happy with 1 piece of cake, I am happy with only going to restaurants only once per week... 1 YEAR!

    You look flippin' awesome!

    What happened/what thought process changed/what paradigm shifted to take you from what so many of us do (start, quit - start, quit et cetera) to start, finish?

    LOVE the dress and have no doubt you'll find a way to wear it! You're a doer! Well done and WOW!
