    Thank you everyone, so much for you words of encouragement. I never imagined that I would be considered an inspiration to so many people. I feel like I'm just me, and getting through my struggles like everyone else is. I wish that I could hug you all in person for the wonderful things that you've said to me on here. You all give me the strength to push forward, and I can never thank you enough for that. <3

    You are a HUGE inspiration, not only to anyone who wants to lose weight, but those who may also have other addictions.
    It is wonderful that your parents gave you so much love, support and encouragement, they sound just as wonderful as you do.
    Thank you for sharing your story with everyone. :)

    You have come so far!! Thank you so much for opening up and telling us your story, I know it can be difficult sometimes. I'm interested in trying Zumba, but my work schedule has kept me from doing so. I'm hoping that I can soon incorporate it into my weekly routine. Keep up the good work, and don't ever let your support group go, its obvious they care about you. :)

    Wow! Firstly you look amazing you have done so well. I really like that you included what you did, because I'm still trying to figure out what kind of exercse regime will work for me, this is realy helpful.

    This is going to sound stupid... but do you do all of those each day or just pick one?

    That is amazing. It really goes to show that you have to be mentally ready as well in order to start making physical changes to yourself. Once you are fit mentally, everything else will just fall into place.

    You look amazing. Congratulations on everything you have achieved!
