FANTASTIC job! An amazing effort and your almond milk story brought a smile to my face. I also tried to do it when I was told how easy it was. What a mess! Keep up the great work.0

Rome wasn't built in a day, I know that. I have motivation and with your story I have more inspiration
Thanks Joni! Yes... keep on pressing forward. The more diligent you are, the more success you'll see. The more success you see, the more self-motivated you'll be. That's how it was for me. It's a cycle,... each good choice leads to another. You're so right... Rome wasn't built in a day BUT, I bet you can be very near goal by year end! Congratulations on your successes so far and best wishes reaching your goal!0 -
Tears...Just what I needed to read at this moment! Congrats to you and thanks!0

Great job!! I am on my way from 275 to a goal of 235 for now, hope to be successful as you have been! Only concern is I see you are a Riders Fan, well we gave you a coach so we will see if you can compete with the Esks!0

Great work! You look like a whole different person! You look terrific. Very inspirational
Hey thanks Lyssa! Technically... not a "whole" different person... more like 3/5ths hehe I'm really flattered you found the story inspirational! I'm really just a "Joe Average" (no offence to men named 'Joe' ;-) that was on a mission. Best wishes to you and all the goals you've set for yourself!0 -
I found it inspirational, thank you and Congrats!!!0

WOW!!! Amazing and you did it. I dont even know you and I am proud of you. Think of all the years you have added to your life. I have only been with MFP for a week and I am noticing and making HUGE dietary changes for myself. fruits, veggies, and lean meats are the way to go just like you said in your post. You're truely an inspiration. thank you for sharing your story0

I have about 50 lbs I would love to rid myself of. 30+ lbs gone presently, and it feels great to eat to energize, not eat to just fill a void. In the past I used other companies, products to help me lose weight. Now its my success's and not a Jenny Craig, or Weight Watcher thing. A saying that comes to mind when I look at your before and after pics:
Maybe the journey isn't so much about becoming anything.
Maybe its unbecoming everything that isn't you, so you can be who you were meant to be
in the first place
Good on ya! (as my Norwegian mother would say)
Hi and thanks Ann! Wow you've really made some incredible strides yourself, congratulations! I'm a believer that long-term sustainability is being able manage our diet without depending on third party companies. If you're able to lose on your own, maintaining will be a breeze... actually, maintaining IS a breeze!!
What a wonderful anecdote and thank you... thanks again!
They always say that maintaining your weight loss is tricky. I belong to a support group and some have made it to their goal. They are always trying to stay within their range never more than 7 lbs over, or 3 lbs under. I think that if I still have passion about eating (great healthy food), and a mindset of "losing weight isn't the key to happiness, happiness is the key to losing weight", all shall be well. When I get to goal, I will be picking your brain though just a heads up... hahaha. Add me. I need ya in my corner.

Congratulations! You worked so hard and it obviously paid off. I've lost half of the weight I want to lose, and have about 80 more to go. Reading success stories such as your own really motivate me on the days where it seems like I'll never get to where I want to be. It's a reminder that it is possible if I just keep moving forward! Thank you! Oh, and GO RIDERS!0
