    I honestly have tears in my eyes from reading this (as I sit here debating going to bootcamp tonight). I am so happy for you, this beautiful stranger who has made me cry and is now inspiring me to go put my sneakers on. I can absolutely feel the limitless possibilities that are ahead of you.

    I'm new here to MFP but your success story is an example of why I joined! I'm basically where you were a year ago. I'm just beginning my journey... The success stories I read inspire me to be a better me. Your's has given me hope anew.

    You look FABULOUS!!! Congratulations on all the hard work, you inspire me so much! Hopefully I will be posting a year from now with a similar success story!

    Thanks for the inspiration! YOU ROCK!! (and your son is cute as a button!!)

    Thank you for sharing your story along the way. I first saw your posts/ blog this March or April when I joined MFP. I always log on & check to see what you have posted. Such inspiration for all of us. Thank you!
    You look so strong, healthy & fit. Love that you did this all with such healthy eating & exercise....and documented it along the way for the rest of us :-) Congrats on your amazing success this past year. It's been 3 months for me & still going strong. Reading success stories such as yours keep me motivated. Again,thanks for sharing.

    Great, inspiring, awesome story!! I too am a Mpls mom, 15+ years older, but battling the kid/work/tired thing you must be challenged with having a young boy. I haven't logged on to MFP for about 1 month, and suprisingly am at a lower weight today then 1 month ago. However, I did log on again today and am inspired again after reading your post. Thanks!

    The past year of your life sounds very similar to the past year of my life. :) I so enjoyed reading your story and seeing your pictures, and I loved the introduction of losing weight using diet pills from Mexico! I have had so many people ask me how I've lost weight and then become disappointed when I have told them that I am continually evolving my lifestyle to be more healthy in nutrition and exercise. I have considered just answering that it is a side effect to meth use. I think they would be more pleased with that answer!

    Congratulations! You look awesome!

    Great post. Thanks for sharing.

    You seem like a strong-willed person. Not surprised you took control of your health.

    Life winner.
