THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because brave people like you - the people who woke up at one point and had ENOUGH of being embarassed, ashamed, angry or anything less than beautiful - had the courage to show the rest of us who are trying, what it was to look less-than-fit and to show how hard your hard work and dedication paid off....Thank you.

You are a daily inspiration for me, and the reason I keep pushing when I just want a chocolate bar and a nap.




That was all.

    I needed to see this today. Last night I thought "Screw it. I love high calorie, high fat food too much. I can't do this. I should just give up. I should give away the clothes I hope to fit into, but never will and just stop tracking my food and eat whatever the hell I want." But I'm going to keep on! I lost two pounds and then gained them back, and now I'm down three pounds! (Need to adjust my ticker accordingly).

    14lbs lost in 37 days - I am so pleased I found this site!

    Thank you so much for that awesome post and your kind words. We are all here for a common goal, but it's makes me feel better if my pics and story can help someone as there are SOOOO many who move me here. I posted a fat gross side by side of myself today and the compliments I got for 13 pounds shocked me and made me smile. It renewed my drive. When I wanna take a day off or be lazy, I look here and get to it.
    For all those that use pix like I do for inspiration, I will share once again in this post. I hope it helps you know that you CAN DO THIS. I have only been on here for 30 days doing this and here is what MFP, and all it's wonderful members has helped me do....Thank you all.

    This post just took the words right out of my mouth. Before/after photos are what drives me to do better. I can't wait for the day to post my own pics so someone else can achieve success in their journey too.

    Really! It's one of my favorite things here, seeing the success stories!

    And I don't care what eating plan people choose to get to their success, it's all good ; ).
