    WOW - what an amazing response to my post today ... THANK YOU ALL! It's been great looking of many of your losses and stories as well.

    For those of you just starting out or some who have hit a bump in the road, I will suggest something that was shared with me very early on - Take Regular Photos of yourself (my son took mine). Even when you think in your mind you aren't making progress, you can look at the photos and see that you have! I'm so glad I had them to help me stay on track.

    I also have kept a journal writing down my weight (weighed in 2X per week) and wrote something on each weigh-in entry about what had happened or how I felt to go with it... and had smaller goals (25 pounds for me) to reach for as this seemed more attainable than the huge amount I wanted to lose.

    Keep up the good job of inspiring yourself, encouraging others and becoming a healthier you on this journey of life!!!

    Unbelievable transformation! You look at least 20 years younger, and very handsome. I know you must be happy to be so fit and active now. In a few years, you'll be taking that granddaughter skiing with you!

    Thank you so much for sharing! You look so happy. I've been struggling to get back on track with my efforts. I also finally stopped drinking Diet Coke. All I drink now is black coffee and water and it's made a huge difference.

    Well done Mikemsu. Many congratulations, My journey started 5 weeks ago although I have been yo-yoing for about 40 years. Like you I have a few health issues but I am determined to overcome most of these and the ones I can't get rid of altogether at least make a little better.
    With the help of M.F.P and inspirational people like yourself this time I am determined to succeed. Again many congratulations and keep it up. You look great.

    Amazing job!!!!!!!! Extremely inspiring and i'm sure you may have had hard times along your journey but you stuck with it and have achieved fantastic results.

    Your family must be so proud of you. What a lovely pic with your grandchild (assuming it's your grandchild)

    May your new, healthy, slimmer lifestyle bring you much happiness and longevity and enable you to stick around long enough to see more generations born into your family.

    Congratulations
