    Wow! You look fabulous! Congrats to you :) I'm very impressed and want to say great job on not gaining weight with your surgeries!!! That is what got me this past year was my surgery, both the numerous pre-surgery problems and afterwards. So I know that is really hard to do. And can I just say, you look so incredibly happy :flowerforyou:

    Thank you. I was determined to not gain anything during the recovery time (which is still going on).

    Thank you. My daughter and I still fit into the pants together a year and a half later. I have a pic in my profile of us in them again. She has grown taller and I've gotten leaner :wink:

    HOLY MAZOLI!!!!!! That is amazing. Great Job. I can barely remember to get 10 days in. :(
    So, what I try to do now is at least get my breakfast and keep up.
    Good job.
  • You look amazing!! What an inspiration you are! Congrats on the weight loss and maintenance!

    Wow! You are amazing! I really appreciate that you posted your Success Story after maintaining for two years. I lost weight several years ago, but didn't focus on maintenance and gained 2/3 of it back. It's harder to lose the second time! Thanks for sharing your story. Truly inspirational.

    Today I have logged in 1095 consecutive days on mfp and I'm celebrating 3 years of a new me. I'll keep it short and sweet. I joined mfp a year after the death of my mom and knew if I didn't do something soon then my children would lose me too soon. I joined mfp and dug my heels in. I lost 100 pounds within 9 months and 110 pounds at the 1 year mark. I've now maintained that loss for two solid years. I've even kept the pounds off and maintained muscle mass while undergoing bilateral hip surgery (one in June and one in October of 2013). Sure I'd love to lose those last 15 pounds that bug me but I'm not complaining. I'm healthy, fit and strong. Oh, and no excuses for me. I'm type 1 diabetic, low thyroid and I still lose this weight naturally.

    Stats I'm asked to share and now don't mind. I'm 5' 9" tall. Starting weight was 277 pounds. I was squeezing into a size 24 pants and a 3X shirt. I now wear a size 8 to 10 pants and a small / medium shirt.

    I welcome new friends and this is a journey that is never complete, a race that continues to be ran and I'm here to encourage others along the way.

    The beginning, January 2011

    This is actually me over 10 years ago. I'm kindly told I look younger now. I beg to differ, but I'm certainly thinner! LOL

    January 2012, one year mark and my daughter and I both fit into my once too tight size 24 jeans. BTW, we still fit into those jeans and a current picture is in my profile.

    Be sure not to post that picture of you and your daughter on facebook.... they'll make you take it down claiming it shows an idealized body image or some such garbage. Have you heard about that?

    Great job... good for you!

    Bump! Your story is amazing, I'd really love to read it again later for more inspiration :)

    Thank you for sharing! The part about your kids losing their mother too soon almost brought me to tears.

    Thanks again, congratulations!
