Is this really POSSIBLE?

All of my life (or since I passed puberty), I've been overweight. In high school I looked for quick fixes, also tried a few in college, but knew that nothing was going to happen quickly and it would take at least a year to get me to a healthy weight. I would try something, but in the back of my mind, I never thought it was truly possible, and I gave up almost before I even started. Forever it was about how I looked (and still is a little bit), but now it's more about being healthy and wanting to run down the street without strain, or without my family members being sad for me. It isn't until these last few couple of months of motivation from Fit2Fat2Fit and the discovery of MFP that I realize that it IS possible. I've lost 25 lbs in just over two months and see that slow and steady really DOES win the race. I'm still a long way off, and though excited about my milestone, I know that I CAN keep going and it really is POSSIBLE for me to finally lose this extra person I have attached to me.

Yay!

    It is possible and it can work. Just remember to take it one day at a time.

    Yes, you CAN do it!! It takes hard work and dedication, but that's the way to make lasting changes and you'll feel much more accomplished that way than a quick fix. Congrats on your progress so far and keep up the great work!
