    Wow major congratulations!!!you are such an inspiration. You got me when u said you were rapidly losing the ability to do things. That's what motivated me do something about my weight. Im going to use your post for motivation whenever I get down or stuck as a reminder that YES IT IS POSSIBLE!! Good for you. You look beautiful!!!

    Thank you for sharing your story, so inspiring! The biggest difference is in the SMILE... the happiness that radiates from your "after" photo. Don't forget to update again with us as you maintain ... I'm sure a lot of people also need to hear that maintenance can be done!

    Congrats!!! Enjoy your new view of life... cloud-9-039.gif

    You look amazing. Thank you for sharing your success story here as I find stories like yours very inspiring.

    May I ask a couple of questions?

    What did you find the hardest thing to overcome during your weight loss journey?

    Did you ever feel it was too much of a struggle to carry on - and if so, how did you cope with that?

    You look fantastic!!!

    (not that you didn't look good before, just different) ☺

    It's obvious that you put a lot of hard work into the change and have accomplished an extremely difficult goal that many people would envy.

    Congratulations!!! :):):)

    WOW...you look amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your story here and your pics which I very much enjoyed. You are such an inspiration to everyone on here. I too have to lose over 100lbs which is frustrating as it has to be done slowly. I too cant wait to shop in all stores and not just the large lady stores. CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU AGAIN !!!

    You look absolutely fantastic!! And like so many other people have said, you've provided some inspiration for me to push past the 6 month plateau I've been "enjoying".

    If I can ask, what macro limit/goals did you set for yourself? And what worked for you for a fitness regime? (I started a bit higher than you, but I still want to lose around 100lbs, so any help I can get I'll take!)

    I agree with what everyone else has said. You look great, and your hard work and persistence are evident to everyone.
