    Oh WOW WOW WOW! You look like two totally different people, and probably feel that way too. Good for you, and I love your mentality that it isn't about getting "skinny", it's about being "healthy." Health issues hide in the darkest of places, including being morbidly obese. You read today about how people in their mid-20's and 30's are having heart attacks and cardiac arrest. It's just a huge shame. So kudos to you for helping yourself!!! It takes courage and lots of strength.
  • So Inspirational!!! You go girl!

    When I first started my journey I weighed in at 341 pounds. It took me a long time to finally decide to lose weight. I felt I was a confident “big girl” so there was no need. But when my weight started giving me health problems, I knew it was time to get healthy. So I started small, I changed the food I was eating and watched my portions. Then I started walking a few minutes a day. Shocking, the weight started to slowly fall off. Then I found myfitnesspal.com, joined curves and started to do zumba and my weight melted off! It was like my body was so happy I finally decided to move my body. It hasn’t been a year yet and I’m down 142 pounds. I’m not finished yet but I’ve came a long way and felt I should share my story. I know there are many women out there proud of who they are and feel they don’t need to lose weight. But losing weight isn’t about looks but rather getting healthy. I’m officially in Onederland and I’m excited where my new lifestyle will take me. By far losing weight was the best decision that I’ve made in my life and I’ll never turn back.

    OMG, Girl! You look super amazing!! You are truly an inspiration to me...I started on January 10, 2012 and weighed in at a whopping 231 (I'm only 5'2")....today I checked in at 217.4! MFP has been a lifeline that i never thought I'd have and I've met so many more wonderful people that I didn't think I'd meet....it really helps to know I am NOT alone!! When I read testimonies from you and others like me, I get so excited and motivated! Thank you for sharing and motivating and proving that it CAN BE DONE!! :-D ~Kelly~
