    You are amazing! I know that first hundred comes off so much easier than the rest...well my first 70 did, without a sleeve or anything just watching the cals. But after that it is a tough road and a literally a battle! I sincerely am so happy with your accomplishment!

    WTG!!!! :flowerforyou:

    Congratulations. There are many people, myself included, who are inspired by your story. You kept to your goal... Good for you!!! It isn't easy..... That's why this support is so important. I am older, not sure about wiser..... but I have to lose this extra weight. This is my last chance.... I'm over 60 years old..... It's very difficult... but now I am going to a fitness center, where I am walking 2 mph for 35 minutes daily.... then lifting some light weights... It's a small center, so I am guaranteed a treadmill, no embarrassment, and seeing results...... Stay with your goal . I believe that life is worth living, and it is great if you can be healthy in the journey. You feel better..... and you impact others...... Not bad..... Thank you. :flowerforyou:

    Truly inspirational!! You look great. I identified with the cupcake/exercise slip up. Did that last night - 2.5 miles for a slice of angel food cake. :D

    I don't know what changed. There was a picture on pintrest I saved a couple months ago that said
    "one day I woke up and decided I didn't want to be this way anymore so I changed"
    its sorta the way I felt. I went home one day after a Dr. appt at the heart clinic and told my husband what the Dr. said to me. I had tears in my eyes and I said this is it. This year is Amanda's year. I will not be on the back burner anymore. SO I started my journey. It has not been all peaches and cream. I have had a TOUGH time. I have never been thin or the pretty girl. I have NEVER had a man walk up to me and openly hit on me. I had no idea how to handle it. I have learned with therapy and lots of long heartfelt talks with my husband and my best friend how to deal with it and many other issues that come with losing a whole over weight person.
