    Tami,

    You continue to inspire me! Thank you so much for staying on MFP during maintenance, for logging in every day, for showing those of us who are down at or near where we want to be that it IS possible to keep the weight off. And an extra thank-you for sharing that it's hard. You are as beautiful in your actions and commitment as you are on the outside. Thank you for giving me hope.

    it takes a long time, and that is hard to wrap your head around, but I always thought this " time is going to go by regardless, I may as well try to get healthy! "

    That is the quote I live by. Love you, sweet lady! MUAH!!!!

    I keep myself motivated. Not wanting to go back to the person I was. I was sad, unhappy, hated waking up cause I didnt want to get out of bed, all I wanted to do was eat, and sleep. I do not EVER want to be her again, So I keep me motivated. and only a person who has been the person I was could really understand that. I think.

    I love that I know the date! Dec 29th 2008, I stepped foot in the gym, and never looked back . 188 pounds later ( goal weight reached NOV 2010) I have spent the last year maintaining my weight loss. ( Which is harder to do than anyone would think,) IF you are even close to weighing what I weighed 3 years ago ( 330 pounds) and you think for a moment you can not do it, think of me, I was just like you, thinking I was always going to be fat and sad, then I said SCREW THAT, I was going to get fit and healthy and live my life, I wanted to be fit by 40, and I was! Dont think you cant do it, cause you can ! Trust me!

    Fantastic! You did and awesome job & you look absolutelly fabulous! What kind of diet and workout were you doing? I get so discouraged because I seem to be just bouncing around despite my efforts to diet & exercise.
