    You look AMAZING!
    I, like you, wasn't obese or even overweight when I started this journey. I've had people tell me I don't need to lose weight. Well, this journey is about ME, and the way I see myself. I was (and still am) not happy with the way I look. But every day I'm getting closer to my goal.

    Thank you for being a great inspiration. Well done!

    And along with losing the additional weight, your skin seems to have a more vibrant glow, your smile is bigger and you look incredibly, incredibly healthy. Thank you for the wonderful post and motivation!! You are one hot mama!!!! I think hubby might start reconsidering his "fun food" doughnut days ;)

    Great Story...very motivational! I just started a few days ago and I have a friend that has lost 30. She started in January..I enrolled in March but let it go....after seeing her progress, I am FINALLY ready to do this thing. Thanks for sharing..you look wonderful. I feel your story because mine is pretty similar...many friends dont see the 30 pounds I am going for but it is MOST definitely there. I like this plan because it seems like a healthy approach. Not just calories, not blind points, but one that tells you your nutritional excesses and deficits. (I noticed I am very low on potassium in what I choose, for example. Well, On my way to 127...wish me luck:))

    You look great and I can tell the confidence level has increased. I know about the fun nights. It took a while for my hubby to cross over to the healthy side although we have the occasional splurge (in moderation) when we eat out but my habits are starting the trickle to the whole family. It's great that you are an example in your house.

    great story! Totally true about each of us being in control of what we put into our own mouth...even if those around us choose to enjoy more fun foods than we should.

    "boy push-ups" ... love it :)

    Great job! I am also 5'9 and weigh a little less than your starting weight. I am curious what your food and exercise routine is? Did you always do 1400 calories or did you change it up? I am already an active person that hikes a lot but my food habits on the weekend kill me :( . Congrats to you :)

    Wow, what an inspiration! I can relate, I am 5'8', and about 158 lbs. When I see pictures of myself, I am always shocked, because pictures don't lie!
    You look wonderful, and excuse me for saying...younger too. I am ready to commit to this, thanks for your story.:flowerforyou:
