    Congratulations on your weight loss and getting back in the saddle. I am losing to ride too. Got a smaller horse. 14-3 hands that I just love and really want to lighten his load. After losing 30 lbs. I can get on from the ground once again. Sent you a friend request, we trail ride also, (horses not mules) so maybe we'll meet up on the trail. Great story and beautiful mule!

    I must say that your story is so inspiring. You and I weighed the same[262] (I always find people that are much smaller that lose the weight), and I figure, if you can do it, so can I. I'd like to know if you added exercise or did you simply do it by riding and eating healthy, please advise? Great job by the way:)

    I am so overwhelmed by the encouragement from everyone! I have so far to go...but I am so much closer than I was a little over a year ago. Although my reasons and my story might be a bit different, the battle we all go through is the same. I can't tell you how much I appreciate those of you that have shared your ups and downs on this forum and through messages.

    Since I titled this thread with '40 lbs down..." and then later realized that I couldn't go back and add to my original post as I continue working towards my goals...I figured I would start a new thread, and then just post updates in posts as I go along...if you would like to see more updated info on Marshall and 'lightened load', you can find that thread here:

    Thanks again for reading! :)

    Reading the success stories is a way to find motivation to keep going and I especially loved this because I have used equine therapy with my daughter when she was 4 and we are going again this summer. I believe that horses can be powerful factors in healing and motivating us humans. Love, love, loved this story and the progression of the pictures each month. You both look awesome. Hope to see you both after the next 40 are gone.:smile:
