    Wow, great job! I can relate to the empty closet problem. I had been 3X for so long, I had forgotten how to size myself. I am still losing, so I can't count on my current closet offerings forever. I spent a few days shopping online (not buying, looking) until I got a sense of style again. I made a list of my favorite colors to look out for, too.

    You look incredible! Aren't you thankful for MFP? I have been on my fitness journey for about 9 months now and have lost 40 pounds so far. I am about 13 pounds from my goal and your story is totally inspiring! Don't you find that when you've decided to get healthy and had success that you want to help others to do the same? I have some family members I would love to see get healthy, but it must be their choice. We can't do it for them. Thank you for sharing your story and best wishes to your future success. Keep paying it forward and it will motivate you to stay on track. I would love to be friends on MFP if you're interested.

    Fantastic!! :wink:

    Might I ask, do you have a lot of extra skin or did you make it out lucky? That's my concern I have but I'd rather be healthy with saggy bits than fat and firm :laugh:

    I confess I'm one of the lucky ones. It's really not that bad. But, like you said, nothing could be as bad as where I was! It was my biggest fear, too, and I'm grateful it didn't really come to fruition.

    I am always happy to share my story and journey with anyone who feels they might benefit from it -- I know how much it meant to my personal struggle to see from others that it's possible to achieve. But you're right -- it has to be the person's choice. A person has to be mentally and emotionally ready to make whatever change it is in question. I quickly learned to just stop talking if a person starts making excuses, etc. In my opinion, it just means that they aren't ready to do what they need to do, and that's ok, but it's not a decision I can make for them.

    You look amazing. Would you, could you please elaborate on your calorie goals, and your exercise routine. Congratulations.

    Thank you! Honestly, for the first 100 lbs, my exercise was just walking a few miles several days per week. It was only in the last 6 months that I got more serious, which for me, means doing the elliptical a few days per week and then a little strength training a couple days per week. My neighbor is a personal trainer, and he told me the food aspect is far more critical to weight loss than the exercise piece, and based on my own journey, I have to agree.

    For food, like most people, it seemed like it took no time before MFP had my daily limit set close to 1200, and I was pretty faithful to that. If that meant just eating steamed broccoli and a little piece of chicken for dinner, then that's what I did. It wasn't easy, but I had so much to lose that I decided I'd rather be super disciplined and get it done, rather than being a little more relaxed and taking several years. I did, however, make sure I kept my carbs, sugar, and sodium well below what MFP allowed. Seems like those were the weeks where I had the most success on the scale.

    congrats!! you look amazing!! wow in such a short period,you lost so much weight! you're a inspiration! good job!

    So inspiring! I would not be able to recognize you as the same person. What a wonderful job. I love seeing success stories like yours as someone who will lose another 127 pounds minimum.

    Maybe in about a year I'll be able to write a post like yours. You make that hope possible. Thanks!

    Great job!

    I don't know why, but as soon as I saw your after pic, Sharon Stone's wardrobe from Basic Instinct came to mind. Minimalist, neutrals, chic. Watch the movie for inspiration. I can see you wearing all of it!
