***MY EDIT Supposed to say I'M YOUR BIGGEST CHEERLEADER"

I wasn't sure where to post this on the boards. I've been wanting to tell those of you just joining or those of you that have been here a while, those of you with a lot of pounds to lose, that I am your biggest fan. One year ago this month I was standing in your shoes. I had over 100 pounds to lose. I tried and failed many times at losing weight and this time was different, this time I had enough and the game was over. Now that it's January I can see that my gym is extra busy. I want to go up to so many people and give them a big high five, a big hug and tell them I was in your shoes last year. I know where you are and I know how you feel. Never give up hope, never give up because you've got this, you can do it. So to all of you here. I applaud you. I am cheering for you. You can do this. Keep eating a clean healthy diet, keep exercising and drinking your water. Log onto MFP as faithfully as you can. I always tell people that time goes by fast. One year will fly by before you know it. You can choose to be the same size, gain, or be a much slimmer healthier you. Thanks for listening to your biggest fan and cheerleader ramble on. You guys ROCK!!

    Thanks for the inspiration! I enjoy reading people's success stories and I'm hoping a year or so down the road that I'll be posting my own success story. Your comment of "I had over 100 pounds to lose. I tried and failed many times at losing weight and this time was different, this time I had enough and the game was over." rings pretty true with me. I've been down the path of of losing and failing so often that I'm living proof why diets just don't work. I've definitely had enough - and I'm ready to tackle this and make the necessary changes to get where I need to be.

    To those of us that are in the need to lose 100 pounds category - may 2012 be the year that we turn things around!

    You have truly inspired me - I have 200lbs to lose and it seems such a long road, I've tried a failed many many times - this time HAS to be different, at 30 years old it's only a matter of time before the health implications catch up with me :(

    Incredible. I got a little teary eyed. I just stated this journey and I have a long road ahead of me. I am going to print your inspiring words and read them when I think I can't do this. I have so much to do before my kids grow up and now is the time.
    Thanks for cheering me (and all of us) on.

    :smile: HI My name is Marilyn and my highest weight was 440. About 300 overweight for my height. Currently a weigh 344 and it has been a struggle getting that much off. I have had many bad choices of food and lack of motivation to go exercise, but everytime I see the scale going in the wrong direction I have learned to never give up. Treat every day as a new start and another chance to make better choices. It is not about being perfect! We are all human and must strive to make better choices and accept that we do not need to be perfect to be successful in life. I truely know just how much effort it takes to lose weight but we can do this and we ARE WORTH THE EFFORT!!
