This makes me so proud that I never gave up.
My friend from the UK on here (http://www.myfitnesspal.com/darrensurrey) published this article today:
http://www.wimble.com/obesity-to-omg-one-womans-journey/
I lost 85 pounds almost 5 years ago and MFP has helped me maintain since then. I can't add any more friends as I've been at the 1000 limit for several years now, but the requests keep coming in - I'm sorry I can't add them. I didn't set the limit.
Here's a BnA picture, the after picture was in 2012:
And this picture was taken today:
I'm still really happy and living my dream!

Thank you. I just read your profile and I wanted you to know I did the yo-yo dieting for about 15 years before I finally got this figured out! Have hope. If I can do it in my 50's anyone can.

Thank you. Well YOU are doing it too. I love your goal of not being a burden to your family. I feel the same way, right now at age 54.

Most of my tips are in the article, and there the link to one of the companies I work for and my blog have many stories I've written. There is a lot on my blog here on MFP as well. I don't want to post any of those links here because it upsets people

Absolutely amazing and inspiring! Im 30 and been at it for 105days but after seeing me have some success, my mom started mfp as well. Shes in her 50s and so far down about 20lbs and her doc took her off insulin and lowered her bp meds. Im so proud of her! And im so showing her your post/article. Fantastic job!0

You look incredible and I would never have guessed you at 55. What amazes me is how firm your skin looks. No loose skin issues associated with your weight loss?0

I do have some skin issues, both from being overweight for so long, and just from age, and stretch marks from having kids, but these pictures don't show it. I have eaten healthy all my life and I know that helps, along with keeping hydrated. We all have skin issues especially as we age.0

Thank you Especially since most of my stories around here are very old news from several years ago. We all keep learning as we go, so I've learned even more since then, and made some mistakes along the way too, but that's how we learn.

You look amazing! Awesome transformation and very inspirational! Just read through the article and you have every right to be proud of this accomplishment! Between the article, your profile, and comments in this thread you have touched on the keys for becoming a healthier and better you - just do something, get a support network in place and ask for input but you need to find what works for you, take ownership of your situation and status, and don't quit. Congratulations and count me as one of the over 1000 friends that MFP limits you to and I look forward to reading more of your info!0
