    Thanks for all the kind words! Hard work and determination really do pay off. I feel great and have never been more confident in my life. It's amazing how differently the world treats you when you're skinny.

    Okay, so I'm 2 pounds away from losing half my body weight, but I feel so proud of myself. When I started I weighed 270 pounds. I wore a size 24w pants and a 2x-3x shirt. Now I weigh 137 pounds. I wear a size 4/6 pants and a small shirt. It took me about 18 months to lose the majority of my weight. The last 15 pounds have been coming off really slowly.

    Amazing Job!! How many calories would you say you ate on average throughout your weight loss?

    You look amazing. Great job. What kept you motivated?

    I think my biggest motivator was simply being shocked and proud for crushing each goal I set for myself. Then I got to a point where I felt so good about myself that I didn't really need anything to keep me motivated.

    What are some examples of the goals you set? I'm always looking for new mini-goal ideas myself. Like you I have about 15 lbs to lose and I have battled back and forth with them to not much avail!
