    I am a blubbering mess right now. I don't even know what to say. I always feel like I'm faking this, even thought I love here and my friends are AMAZING, which I wouldn't have made it this far without them, I still feel like this good streak is going to end because I have so much to lose! Of course I have good days and bad.

    I just can't tell you how amazing you are! And showing me it can be done.

    Congratulations! and Hugs!

    The humility and presence you show in the way you tell your story says so much about what you've gained as much as what you've lost.

    Thank you for allowing all of us to be inspired by you and to celebrate with you! Please count me as a friend.

    Happy Anniversary! :flowerforyou:

    This is probably the best story I've read on this site. You're doing a great job and you look awesome, keep it up.

    Definitely gave me the extra motivation that I needed.
  • OMG. I don't know you but you are awesome. I just got on this site today and I am 285.4 pounds. My doctor said if I don't lose weight I am headed for diabetes. You have inspired me. I hope I do as well as you.
