    WoW!! you can't believe how I needed your story today. When I weighed in today the 1 pound difference just depressed me. I was looking for a pick me up and you sure did it... Thanks so much for sharing. By the way smoking is a problem I will have to take care off too, wish me luck. YOU LOOK GREAT....I want to be smiling big too.

    PM me about quitting smoking, I have tons of advice to help you out with if you wish.

    Thank you so much for posting your success story! I'm 25, also 5'5" and started at 180 lbs. I'm in my second week and also starting at 1200 calories/day and working out at home. I'm not addicted to pain killers but am a recovering alcoholic and also smoke cigarettes so I know what the withdrawals are like. I weighed 130 lbs 7 years ago when I graduated high school and my goal right now is 130-140 lbs. You give me lots of hope and faith that I can do it and I thank you! BTW, you look amazing! :)

    You are truly an inspiration to me. Our starting weight & height are the same...body shape different (i carry my excess weight in my thighs and bootie) but i really hope to have results like you in 8 months :) Great story. Your family is amazing to have been such motivators and supporters on your journey :)

    My hat is off to you!!! I loved your story, and you are so lucky to have such a supportive family and thank god for your cousin coming to your mom.

    With each progress picture your smile got bigger and brighter.

    You are TRULY an inspiration. What you have accomplished in such a short period of time is nothing short of amazing. Everything you have gone thru at such a young age is more than most people go thru in a lifetime and you will be stronger for it.

    Right now I am standing up and applauding you - you so deserve it.

    :happy:

    Speaking from experience, my brother is an addict. It has torn his life apart. Instead of helping himself like you have, he has destroyed himself. I know I dont know you, but i am very proud of you!
    And the icing on the metaphorical cake is that you look amazing!

    Your story is amazing! Thank you for sharing. I cried. Your family is super sweet to support you through all of this. There are so many people where you used to be. I pray for them that they could have the support that you had. Great job to you for taking the steps to get where you are today! I wish you the best of luck on your continued success!

    Awesome story!!! and you look well just wow :smile: I am actually more proud of you for dealing/beating your addictions bc i dont know hard it is to beat one but i do know what it does to a relationship. My ex wife was consumed with a pain med addiction and it became more important to her than her marriage. so i am so very proud of you, you truly a better person than most :wink:

    Congrats on your success! Just had to tell you that while I was reading your post, Pandora popped up with U2's Beautiful Day. Coincidence? ;)
