    Congratulations! I'm a cardiac nurse practitioner, and am very very excited to see all the stories of people initiating change after health care crises with their loved ones. It's often in my job that I see NO attempt at changes despite the health problems. So I'm really excited to see it here.

    Congrats to everyone that is making a change in their own life after seeing their loved ones suffering a health related health crisis!

    When I read the topic of your post I thought to myself, that could be me. My mom passed away in December 2009 after a long illness. She had just turned 58. I remember her dieting and regaining my entire life. In the 3 months prior to her death she lost 60 pounds. After she passed away I told myself that I would take my health, and weight more seriously. I didn't. It took the first anniversary of her passing to give me the kick I needed. I didn't want my kids to go through the same thing. I have lost 65 pounds now, with 10 coming off since starting MFP. I miss her everyday, but I know she is up there cheering me on. Congratulations in your weight loss, you should be proud of yourself. I am sure your mom is. :)
