Hey thanks! To be honest, "I" can't believe it either! I just stuck with the plan and well... it just happened!0 -
Wow you look amazing, what an accomplishment! 230-180 has been hard for me I cant imagine 290lbs0

Congrats! Great job! You are an inspiration! I know I am on the right track after reading your story!
Thank you and that's GREAT to hear! And I wasn't perfect... I had my own bumps along the way. A 9-pound gain while in Vegas that took 10 days to lose to get back to my pre-Vegas weight. Getting back on track quickly is the key, then stretching those good days into weeks.0 -
Thanks for sharing your story. You've done a great job and it shows in your pictures and outlook. Here's to continued success and maintenance for you. Thanks for the encouragement and inspiration.
It's my pleasure 'jbaker'! I just want you, anyone reading to know that weight loss goals are possible. And, depending on discipline, can be reached on your timetable. Thank you for the kind words :-)0 -
Your story is so inspiring! I've been back-tracking and settling into old bad routines of overeating and not exercising. So much so that I gained everything back. I started turning it around in November, but reading this really gives me renewed determination to be more dedicated with my efforts. Thanks!0

Congratulations on your new life, you look amazing!!! I can very much relate to having to put ourselves out there, it's not easy when you wanna just hide within. You have beautiful daughters and now this new lease on life is going to be worth every part of the journey you have been on! Would love to follow your journey so please add me if you would like. Thank you so much for sharing your story and be the very inspiration we all need. So happy for you!0

BTW - you are not bragging. We need testimonials of people such as yourself who have been tested and came through on the other end. I am going to bookmark this page simply to come back and look at what you have accomplished to encourage myself to stop wasting time and get on with it. You lost more in two months than I have and all because you stayed committed. And that is the key word: Commitment.
I so wanted to attend my firm Christmas party which is next week with at least 20 lbs lost and I have failed. But I have not given up and reading your journey has helped me redirect my purpose and commitment. So thanks for sharing YOU!
Thank you so much. And yes... you've nailed it with "Commitment". Sorry if I'm beginning to repeat myself but during my time on MFP I've been very committed; strict with the food I ate along with precise quantities weighing everything to the nearest gram, all while trying to balance nutrition. When I mentioned "jumping in with both feet" in my original post, I was referring to exactly that --> commitment, dedication. That's all it really takes I think. And it does get easier, kind of habit forming after a few weeks.
Even though you missed your Christmas goal, the fact that you're not giving up means that you haven't failed! Failure is when you give up, throw in the towel. Nobody ever truly fails with weight loss; there's always today, always tomorrow, always something that can be done about it.
Good luck and we'll see YOU on the 'other end' :-)0 -

Congratulations! Thanks for sharing this. I have tried really hard and lost 93 lbs in one year but fell off the wagon,gained 30 back and have thought a lot. I have been gearing up to make a permanent change and your post was just exactly what I needed to hear. I got back on track just this morning. Very inspiring.0
