    "Also remeber it takes 3,500 calories of not eating and/or burning off to loose just 1lb and so celebrate each and every lb because it takes so many calories for each 1."

    Brilliant line!

    You have brought a tear to my eye. I think you look beatuful at 17stones to now at about 10. Amazing transformation. Congradulations on you recent wedding. I lost a lot of weight and kept it off for 6 years until my first child, now I am a 158lbs. I'm trying to get back in the groove with working out and eating. It is really hard becuase my body will not maintian a healthy weight unless i workout 2 hours a day and watch what i eat. I guess I have a genetic disposition to be heavy. Keep up the good work.
    Workingout can be just as addictive as food, which is a good thing.

    You are such an inspiration. Congrats on everything...your weight loss, your wedding but especially your positive attitude and you taking the time out to share those tips. I read what you wrote so captivated by it all because you said it as it should be said...in such a real way and not preaching or sounding like "I did it so I don't see why you all can't " kind of way. I am so glad I read this today because I really needed to. Thanks.

    I just wanted to share how I did it. I dont want to preach because like many people I have tried before, lost weight and then gained. This is the first time I truely feel that I have changed my lifestyle for good and my attitude and relationship with food. I also dont like preaching because I fully believe that all people are different and not one model fits all. Everybody has their own ways and techniques that work for them. I am so pleased and completley taken by suprise how many people think im inspirational - thank you so much, and thank you to all that have commented because you have all inspired me to continue and keep this weight loss in full swing! I cant wait untill my BMI is 'normal' i.e. 24.9.

    amazing! well done! I love the fact that you believe in having a day or 2 away from healthy eating every now and again as long as you get back on your diet afterwards! I always feel so guilty after I take time away but I wont feel so bad now I have seen how sucessful you have been. brilliant :) thanks for sharing!
