Congratulations! Amazing transformation! Boy, can I relate to the "I spent 10 years starting tomorrow" statement. I spent more time analyzing and thinking about "what diet should I do" than actually DOING anything! Seeing your story and others that are similar it lets me know it can be done with good ol' calorie counting and moving more! Thank you for the inspiration! Congrats again - nice job! (*)0

Thank you for sharing this. This goes farther than you can imagine it. I just showed this to a few of my family members that needed a little kick in the butt to get them going. Hopefully, this was it. Thank you!0

Nice of you all to say - thanks. Maybe it's selfish but thinking that I've been able to help anyone at all makes me feel good.0

Just don't ever quit. Ever. Don't start tomorrow. I spent 10 years starting tomorrow. Start today.
Your pictures are awesome, but let me tell you, the words above made me cry. I've been "starting tomorrow" for a long time, but over the past few weeks I started slowly, and Monday was the day I decided to use MFP and turn this effort up a few notches. I really just can't stop crying. Thank you for this.

Go get it!
Think about where you'll be in a year - 12 months go by in all of our lives so quickly. Don't get to the end of the year and have to say "I wonder where I'd be if I'd stuck with it?". I did that every year...
Starting slowly is perfectly fine - you've got time to figure out what works for you and what doesn't.

The thing is, it IS possible. If you can set reasonable goals (I far exceeded even my stretch goals), accept that there are no excuses, understand that you will have bad days, and be prepared to be brutally honest with yourself about your actions and decisions, it is absolutely possible. Just don't ever quit. Ever. Don't start tomorrow. I spent 10 years starting tomorrow. Start today.
I had a bad day yesterday and was feeling a bit sorry for myself and a bit scared this morning. I clicked your link, read this, and IMMEDIATELY felt reassured and ok.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
