      Wow - you are amazing.

      I love your attitude, just being sensible with portions and making sure to fit in the foods that you like. I'm very much the same. My diet wasn't too bad before, just huge portions and lack planning lead to some poor choices (e.g. I used to pick up Pizza from Iceland on the way home quite regularly because I hadn't shopped properly at the weekend).

      I also had more or less a similar reaction from my Dad. When I said I was planning to lose weight and get to a normal BMI his reply was "it won't happen, being overweight is in your genes". I don't think he meant it in the mean way it came out - more that I should not aim for an unrealistic low weight but be happy to lose a bit so I was healthier. (The majority of people on his side of the family are overweight, but not huge like I was!) Luckily I live in London 200 miles away from my parents, so I didn't have to put up with many more comments along those lines. I reached "normal" BMI this month. So, in the end I showed my Dad it was possible even with "bad" genes.:laugh:

      Congratulations on your achievement and keep up the good work.

      Great determination and resolution; 129lbs it's such a huge number, can't even get my head around it. What is your next goal?

      I enjoyed reading your whole story. You will inspire many, just as you have relied on others to stay motivated. Your approach-- flexible, self- forgiving- is clearly a smart and winning strategy. It's hard, despite all the great photos, to believe you are the same person.

My weight is coming off a little at a time and sometimes I get impatient with it but reading your story and seeing your pictures reminds me that I have good things to come. Such an inspiring story and just what I needed this morning =) Would you mind if I friended you? You're such an inspiration =)
