    Thank you for taking the time to record your reflections on your first 6 months and share it with the rest of us. Your private journey is an inspiration to so many of us here on MFP. I too, needed to hear your words of encouragement today. We started about the same time and have lost about the same amount of weight so far. The plateau that I am currently on is weighing on me heavily, pun intended, but unfortunately too true.

    Some of what you mention is new to me and I would like to know more. I will have to put in some research and re-read this post often.

    45lbs in 6 months is fantastic.. I wish id lost that much.. but i cant blame anyone but my self..

    Planning on getting back on mfp and really working at loosing the weight, getting fitter, and feeling happier with myself starting tomorrow.

    I totally love what you wrote - exactly what i needed to read after coming back after a long hiatus...

    Thank you and good luck on the rest of your journey!

    :)

    Thanks to someone for bumping this up apparently....those are fantastic insights and I've put them on my fridge as they really hit home for me. I can relate to all 9 of them, definitely words to live by.

    Great job on the weight loss. It's posts like yours that keep me inspired.

    It's refreshing to see someone who knows this isn't a race! It's about a lifestyle change and making better decisions for themselves.

    Congratulations and good luck with the rest of your journey:)
