    I am so proud of u. I also am on a journey 25 pounds down and still trying hard. I still have about 100 more pounds to loose such a long journey. You have inspired me to take it one step at a time!

    Your story is incredible and you should be so proud!! Congratulations and I'm glad you brought up the point that you should look to eat healthy, not just lose weight. That's my mission. Though I am physically capable of exercising and I do, it became a mission of health before pounds for me, this time. I think that's why I am succeeding so far. 1 pound away from 60 pounds lost. Quite a way for me to go still, but I think I'm succeeding at the rate I am because I'm eating so clean and I feel wonderful and I actually want to exercise and I have energy, because of the food I'm putting into my body. Good for you to not go the surgery route. I've contemplated it and I've seen it work, but I'm just too scared and I want to believe I have the power to change me without surgery. Thanks for sharing your story and, again, congratulations!!!!!

    That's amazing! Good on you doing this for your daughters. One question, did u ever lose ur way during this amazing transformation and if so how did u get back into the correct mindset? I always find that when I lose my way or have a cheat meal I then unfortunately give up altogether. Any advice from your experience? Well done again!

    Inspirational for those of us just starting out this journey. It is good to know that some of this can be done by diet alone, especially for those of us who cannot do any weight bearing exercise at all because of our injured joints (yes, it is the weight that injured them in the first place, but no, that doesn't mean we should further abuse them).

    You are truly an inspiration to me. It proves that no matter how long it takes to get to your goal it is worth it.
    I am thrilled for you. You look like a brand new person and you have a new lease on life.

    I also greatly appreciate your comments about exercise. I am trying to do more but I have some health issues too that make exercise hard and painful. I'm hoping that as my weight goes down my exercise will increase.


    CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I know I'm not the op but this is what I tell everyone who has one of those days.

    Write the day off, tomorrow is a new day :) One day of bad eating is not going to ruin a week of good eating. Don't let it become a habit.

    I did lose my way after I broke my ankle and gained all the weight I had originally lost back.

    I have a friend who helped me my find my way again. I just about dropped all the weight I gained back. Now I look forward to pushing past the record before I left off.

    Don't let one bad day of eating get you down. Start fresh the next day. Stay positive and don't give up.

    It does help to have a support system in your real life. Talk to your friends and family and find out who is willing to help keep you honest and keep you on the right track.
