    You are an awesome human! Your story is so awe inspiring I wish I had something equally awe inspiring to say!

    Your facing forward before picture is hilarious, your expression says so much...I feel like your expression captured my thoughts about some people I encounter on my daily journeys.

    Also, do you exercise? At what point did you start? What is your regimen?

    Sorry to ask so many questions....you are very inspiring and I like asking so I can educate myself more.

    Way to go, you look healthy and happy! Congratulations!

    Awesomeness!! I couldn't help noticing that you were only smiling in one picture, and it's a good one. Haven't you earned the right to smile continuously?

    Thanks for sharing your inspirational story. You look fantastic!

    I think an important lesson here is to just stick with it, no matter how long it takes. Each day you were a little bit healthier than the previous one. 173 pounds in 2.5 years is an average loss of 1-1.5 pounds a week. So many of us start this journey wanting to lose 20 pounds a month and to be "done" losing weight quickly, and when it doesn't happen we give up. You've shown that sticking with it for the long haul pays off. Well done!!
