    Buddy!!! Why don't I recall ever seeing this? No matter...I'm seeing it now. You are amazing! (And I'm not one to gush and use words like "amazing" very often! :smile: )

    Great, great work! I'm proud to have you as a friend. Thank you for inspiring me. You're the best! :drinker:

    Amazing and quite the inspiration to show it can be down without surgery or a "magic pill". Thank you for sharing your story with us!

    Thank you so much for sharing your story. I found it very inspiring and sad at the same time. It's hard to believe that someone who has accomplished such an amazing goal still feels bad about herself. I struggle with the same issue and one thing I do is when I do hear myself trashing me, I stop and really think about it. Is this how I would talk to my kids... no.... and I re-frame the negative talk into something I would say to my kids. I also started a gratitude journal but not the usual kind because I don't have problems appreciating what I have. I just have a problem appreciating myself. So I write down 5 things that I did well that day and that I apprecaite about me. You are an amazing person. You have inspired so many. I hope you will find a way to appreciate what a great person you are.

    Congratulations. You. Are. Awesome! Reading this brought a tear to my eye for a number of reasons. Unless my math is off (and it frequently is), you lost 59% of your total body weight!!!!! I've never thought I could get down to a healthy weight, but rather that I would be technically overweight but healthy & fit. You just did what I thought was impossible. Awesome!
