    I'm sorry but THIS IS ABSOLUTELY MY FAVORITE SUCCESS STORY THAT I'VE EVER READ ON MFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my gosh!!! Thank you for not only doing this but then saying it all so well. I can relate to everything - your starting weight, your young son, your approach. You are my hero! I am doing this, too. And this is my favorite thing you said: "I didn't struggle to lose 130+ pounds. Instead, I committed to choices that simply wouldn't support 308.5 pounds."

    May you have decades and decades of life at your ideal weight so that you can have a wonderful life.

    You are an absolute inspiration! That's how I want to be!! Someone who lives a life so full, so packed, and so loving that I no longer have room for the weight, the doubt or the self pity . Thank you for opening my eyes to that!

    THANK YOU. Seriously. Thank you for writing that. It wasn't too long. It was perfect, and it struck a chord in me- more than probably anything else I've read on here. Thank you.

    And, congratulations on your success and all the wisdom and insight you've gained (and shared!) on your journey! :heart:

    Your post is incredibly inspiring to me, and today I have a new sign on my refrigerator that reads "7 months from now you will look back and be happy you started today!" (that's is when I should be at my goal weight). It worked like a charm today and was very motivating to read each time I glanced at it :)

    You are such an articulate writer, thank you again for sharing!
