    Thanks so much for sharing your success! It is so inspiring. Thanks too for making it clear how important being active is to getting weight off and staying healthy. You have answered a lot of questions already, but I am curious to know how long it took you to lose the entire 130Lbs. Did you average a certain amount of LBS per month? Did you encounter any lengthy stalls (and if yes, what was the longest?). Did you notice a significant jump in the rate you lost weight once you incorporated exercise? I have a similar amount to lose, and it is coming off very slowly (4 - 6 lbs a month). I've lost 12 pounds so far. I have also started working out in the last 2 weeks, but overall it has been a very slow process. Thanks again.

    Whoa! You really look like a completely different person. And so much more importantly, I'm sure you FEEL so much better!
    I would love to hear more about how you went from dieting to lifestyle changes. Did something just switch mentally for you? Did myfitnesspal influence that change?

    Wow...just...wow! You are incredible! I come from a "beefy family" myself. I've been struggling with my weight since I was a young kid...up and down like a yoyo...more frequently up though :( And I can see my poor eating habits being passed onto two of my three children. I'm trying to pull myself together to break the cycle. Easier said than done though! Your story has inspired me.

    I lost the weight over about 2-3 years. But I took about a year break near the end. Lost the first 80 in less than 6 months. It just fell off. That probably made it easier to lose. The exercise made the weight come off almost twice as fast. Tracking and no cheating is what really works.

    One day I just got sick of being fat and I knew I had to do it for my son! MyFitnessPal was huge for me! The support I got from all the strangers out there was great. I knew if I did something wrong that someone would see that and it kept me going. I loved being able to read success stories and eventually being able to share my own. I couldn't have done it without MyFitnessPal!!!

    Incredible. Absolutely incredible! I have tears in my eyes because of your story and your family pics. Your son has a wonderful mummy that is showing him how to live life right and do it the healthy way. Your husband has lost weight too I see. What a fabulous start for any child. You have made sure your son will not go through what you went through. Well done. Your an inspiration!

    Thank you so much for taking the time to share your story. I am sure it was not an easy journey and you must be so proud of yourself. You should be. You look amazing. So inspiring to hear that you took your time to make lifestyle changes instead of a diet. I'm on the same path - finally. Thanks for the showing me that it can be done.

    This is very motivating. My highest weight was 288. I weighed myself this morning and I'm now down to 270. Still a long way to go. You look amazing, I bet you feel like a whole new person! I can't wait to experience this. :)
