    What an incredible inspiration you are, truly!!! You look absolutely amazing!! I bet people don’t even recognize you!!


    Initially I had some that hadn't seen me in a while be totally shocked. I was frequently told I looked like a complete different person. Now that has come to a halt for the most part. Thank you for the kind words!

    As you were losing did you lower your calories with each way in? Because Fitness Pal doesn't automatically lower them for you I know you have to recalculate. Also which setting did you use? Did you use the two pound a week setting? And did you eat your calories back from exercise?

    Hi Judy, I entered in my personal info and requested the 2 lb loss a week figures. It gave me 1200 calories and I kept it at that amount through the 8 months of my loss. I should've recalculated along the way as I loss, but I did not. I only ate part of my exercise calories back on a rare occasion... like celebrating a birthday. This is a HOT topic on MFP. Some folks don't touch their exercise calories, some eat part of them back and some eat them all back. MFP already accounts for your loss with the calorie allotment they give you... so eating exercise calories back is encouraged, but I personally chose not to. Hope this helps!

    Your so right somebody did need to see this today. It helps me to keep going to see others have succeeded . I was up to 280, dropped to 184, and then gained back to 240, now I'm going between 213 - 219. Exhausting and just need to have some consistency. This really boosted my spirits today. Thank you, and congratulations on your successful life style change

    I am so happy for you. I am still not at my goal weight, but I am getting there. Only 9.5 pounds away and then maintenance hell will begin. You look happy and healthy. Amazing result lady! You inspire many!

    What an inspiration you are to all of us.

    As far as the naysayers.....there are a few magic buttons in FB for those types. None of us need negativity in our lives. Let them go on their merry way and you will be much happier for it.
