    That's exactly how I feel about this place too - I love MFP and all it has done for me! We are so lucky to be here!

    Congratulations on all your hard work and success. It's a hard journey, but one that is worth every last minute.

    You are incredible. Seriously. Not many people would fight as hard for their life as you have done for yours, both literally and figuratively speaking. Most people would've just given up at 665 lbs. You are proof that no matter what your situation in life, you can be healthy and live your best life.

    Congratulations on your incredible progress. I can't wait to see you at your goal weight!

    I never really reply to postings on the forum, but i had to make a reply to this. What you have accomplished is an amazing feat and such an inspiration to all of us who have replied. To see such determination to make such a massive difference in your weight, it just leaves me in awe of your courage because It takes a lot of courage to decide to make as drastic of a change as you did. I imagine a lot of people in your position would've just gave up concluding there was nothing that could be done by that point, but you did something. You decided that you still had it in you and took a brave course of action which i can only imagine has been a hard one. So congratualtions to such an amazing achievement and may you keep it up for many years to come.

    You are a true inspiration!!! You personal story touched a chord in my heart. Thank-You for sharing your story. I am so glad you have such amazing friends to help you through your incredible journey. I think that's part of my own struggle, I don't feel as though I have the support I need. I have withdrawn so much that it's hard to let people in to help/encourage me. Your story reminded me that it's ok to let me guard down and trust that people won't judge and that they are there to help. I wish you all the best as you continue your journey and I look forward to reading about your updates down the road!! I know with your determination and positive attitude you will continue to succeed. :-)

    WOW!!!! Fantastic job!!! I've been using this site for about a year now myself, but never really got involved in using the message boards. I would love to have some support outside of my own home. But you are definitely an inspiration!
