3 years of dedication and 315 pounds lost.

It may be 80% diet, and 20% exercise, but it’s 100% mental...will live on my fridge forever! Fantastic determination I totally admire it! Hands in the air for your success!!

When I got up today and came to MFP the first thing I did was to look for a success story. Thank you for sharing yours, you've inspired me to keep on going.

Perfect!

Awesome!!!! That Is a lot of pounds...I'm working on 30lbs. I gave my sister all my summer clothes last summer whereas I gained weight. Then I gained some more...I want those small cute clothes back for the summer. Thanks for your story, it's motivating to read. Keep going and stay healthy for your girls.

Great job. Truly inspirational.

That is fantastic! Your story inspirational.

Thank you for sharing your story. I, too, am about to leave the hospital with more prescriptions and 250 lbs to lose. I was worried because physical exercise is difficult due to health issues, but your story reminds me that success starts in the kitchen (and in a change of thinking). Thank you, God bless

Outstanding Work a great inspiration to all

Total awesomeness!!! Congratulations! (High Five)
