    You have done well as your pictures show. Congrats on that.

    When I was close to your age I went from 250 to 160 lbs. I gained it all back (an then some) in a few short months . Now I am over 40 yrs old and again I am taking it off. It was much easier when I was below 30. Less pain, more energy, man I wish I would have kept it off. Good luck to you.

    You are looking good girl. You have come a long way don't stop now. I know how hard it is. I have done it over and over again only to gain everything back. Good luck I know you can do it.

    Ask a marathon runner which mile is the hardest. They'll tell you it's the LAST mile. Loosing fat and getting healthy is exactly the same. In the beginning, it is all a new challenge, a new way of living and eating. You're trying new things, cooking new ways, everything is new and exciting.

    Now as you near the end of your journey, the newness has worn off. You're a little bored with this new routine - it's not new any more. You're on your last mile and in the hardest part of your journey.

    We can do it - I'm right there with you. I'm 13 pounds from my goal weight and the going is slow and tough. And this week, I'm crossing a huge milestone. I will be 70 years old on Thursday. How can that be? I was just a girl, a young bride, a new mom, a really young grand mom not so very long ago.

    Wow! You look great. I totally understand what you are talking about. My husband and I are doing weight watchers and I've lost 68lbs but I'm at a stand still. Summer is here and even though we haven't gone on vacation yet we are totally in that vacation mode. Keep trying. I'm sure we will get our drive back.
