    This is AWESOME busymom. This is great encouragement for me. I have always been a size 14 or 16. Whenever I got close to a size 18, I would cut calories enough to get back into my 16 jeans. Over the holidays my 16 jeans started getting tight again, and I am fed up! I'm tired of always being a size 14 or 16. Why can't I be skinny too! :grumble: I'm 5'5" and my highest weight (starting weight) is 203. I hope hope hope I can work as hard as you and reach my goals too! Thanks for this motivation!

    You CAN do it!! I'm a WUSS and have never stuck to anything in my life- If I can do this YOU can do it too!!! I KNOW you can!!!!!

    Wow you look great! Can I put my two cents worth in? You look younger and so much better with dark hair.

    Good job!

    Congrats! It's people like you who keep people like me inspired enough to stay motivated. I didn't know how I was going to find the motivation to lose the weight I needed to when I first came here only three weeks ago. But now I'm doing it! Thank you!

    First of all- I need to remind you all that it's not about how long it takes- it's about how long it LASTS.

    I started losing weight in May of 2009. I never gave up. Through the holidays I would change my calories to maintain so that I could still enjoy foods but not gain.

    Thanks again everyone!!
