All You Magazine is doing a story about my weight loss!Should be out in May or June according to what I was told. I did the interview last week and some follow up questions today. The photographer has contacted me about taking pics for the story. This doesn't seem real. I really couldn't have come this far without this site and all the people on here. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The basics....i was alway big....not big but BIG! i hit 200lbs in 3rd grade. Grew up being told how i needed to lose weight but then was given plates spilling over with food and being told i HAD to eat. Miserable in my school years, teased by everyone for my weight. I got engaged at 19 to the 1st guy that told me he loved me. He ended up being an abusive jerk. I wanted to leave him but i was 370lbs, working only part time, with 3 kids. I needed to get my life in order before i could take care of them. so i started working on me for the 1st time in my life. i cleaned up my life. started eating right. started exercising. got a job. and best of all, got out of that nightmare of a marriage. So i'm here now, over 200lbs smaller. happy with my kids. i have a boyfriend who is great to me. Life has thrown me a curve recently with a MS diagnosis last month but I'm still chugging along.

    Congratulations on your success!! that's so exciting. Re: the MS diagnosis, there are some amazing meds out there right now that can keep it at bay for a long time. Your healthy body + a good neurologist will really do wonders for you. (I grew up around MS, my mom and stepfather both had it.) It's just a curveball. ENJOY your huge accomplishment and accolades!

    I just burst into tears when I saw your success story. I'm roughly the same weight as you when you started and at this point it seems like a daunting task. Thanks so much for sharing -- it's very motivating!

    My advice: get paid for doing it. While it's great inspiration for many out there, using you to help sell their magazine should entitle you to some income.
