This year has seen me completely change my life. I started it weighing 270lbs or thereabouts, miserable, and in pain all the time from fibromyalgia. I'm ending it down at 207/208lbs feeling amazing, exercising regularly (and loving it!) and eating completely differently too. My fibro is gone! Thank the Lord, it was so hard for so many years!

I'm still midway through my journey... I still have a long way to go, and I'm still "obese". But I hope this serves as inspiration for some of you. You CAN do it! Just make small sustainable changes - they add up to big things.

THANK YOU to all of you for being here, without this community I don't think I would've necessarily accomplished what I have this year.

    Great progress and wonderful news on the fibromyalgia front. Can I ask what you think attributes to it being gone? That is amazing! I was diagnosed with it in 1996 and though I don't have severe symptoms I have never thought it was gone, or it was possible to be gone? I am very curious about this!
