    Wow!! You just remotivated me!! :smile: I fell off the wagon after loosing internet access for a few weeks but now I am back. I needed that motivation today-Thank you! You look like you are about 25 years old!!! I am almost 38, having given birth to my first child 6 months ago, and sometimes look in the mirror, thinking I will never look good again, even if I loose all of the weight. And your advice was really nice, to love our present lives as much as we can. You have reminded me that there is no quick fix, and that true fitness will not be a destination, rather it is all about the journey. You have been sticking with it for 8 years! Thank you so much for sharing!:flowerforyou:

    i'm still am in denial, but i am living proof.:huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh:
    we need to lose the lbs slowly and carefully.:cry::cry: :cry: :cry:
    fad diets dont work.
    over 8 yrs have passed and i'm still yet to reach a goal!
    man, i envy those people that "succeed" in less time.

    but i eat to excess some days.
    but exercise most every day.
    i feel happy w/ all my healthy choices.
    and anger at outright naughty choices.


    if someone asked me for advise, (:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh::laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: )
    i'd tell them to love their present life as best they can!

    i love u all on MFP!!!!:love::love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:

    Wow! Congratulations. Extremely motivating for me, because i look like the first picture and it is hard to believe that through lots and lots of hard work i can end up looking like you do in the 2nd pic. I am just starting out, so this is such great motivation.
    Thank you for sharing, and congratulations!!!!

    OMG you look terrrific. What a difference and I know you feel so much better. I wish my sister could see this. She is at a stage where she says she will never be able to loss her weight and I know she can she just lacks total will power. I have two sisters. One is my twin and mostly we have alwasy been pretty thin. I was always the thinnest. Rail thin really. To thin. But over the years I had put on about 35 pounds. I hated myself. So in January I started working hard and have lost 20 pounds. So now my older sister is back to feeling sorry for herself etc. She liked it when I was gaining and she did not have to feel so bad about herself. Well i just keep telling her that she can do it but she insist there is no way she could lose it....you prove you can...you just have to work hard....:smile:

    You are an inspiration! I can't believe my eyes but you've given me hope. I've been told that because I've had quite a belly for so long, that even if I was to lose weight, I would have extra skin hanging. How did you do it? How did you lose the weight, and keep the skin tight? You look marvelous, baby. wow-wow-wow!
