    Thanks for sharing your story! You are so right when you talk about getting to the root of things. I had gotten down to healthy BMI two babies ago, but still had not dealt with the roots. This time around I've spent a lot of time praying that God deal with the real issues behind the fat. It was good to hear another person's story confirm that.

    I'm so proud of you!

    Thanks for sharing your story, its just what I needed to hear today, last year I started on MFP and lost 19 lbs, went from 188 to 168.6, felt really great, got into all my old clothes, stomach was gone, then complacency set in. I started cheating by not tracking everything I ate on MFP and before I knew it I had gained 5lbs, then 10 and now I am back up to 183. So charging my fitbit up, and tomorrow I start again tracking my weight and exercising. I feet horrible right now, always tired, no energy and some days even have to lie down in the afternoon. I know the problem, eating too many carbs make me tired, its a vicious circle, one that stops now after reading your post. I'm 54 so if you can do it at 58 I can do it, my goal is to get to 148. Thanks again for sharing your story and know that you have motivated at least one person because you did!

    Thanks so much for posting your very inspiring story! You have a wonderful style of writing, too. People often say Baby Boomer women can't lose weight. Thanks for the proving these people wrong!

    I only hope I can do what you have done. I ended up getting lap band surgery August 13th. It has helped me so far in controlling my portions. I have started walking but I want to do so much more, I am just so out of shape.
    Thanks for sharing.......what an inspiration you are! Great job!

    Wow. Wonderful. Just wonderful. You look just WONDERFUL!!

    Your story is so similar to mine. I have lost weight 3X...and now to do it for REAL. The other times I lost I thought "I made it!" and went right back to eating. Well, the first time I lost it, my mom kept complaining how I had lost too much weight and was too thin. So I tried to gain my weight back on purpose...and it came back. The other two times were on me. :grumble:

    Love the story...and the pics were great. CONGRATS TO YOU!!
