Such a great post.

Thank you so much! Well, get started now. :)

I've tried lots of different things, but now I'm simply working on eating "cleaner". I agree with this reply right here 100%.

It's something to me! A couple months ago, I left my apartment and ran/ walked 1.5 miles for the first time in years. It was HARD but it felt amazing! And just like you, I was so proud and it was everything to me... But you, you went 2.56 miles! Now *that's* something... Recover and do it again soon?? :)

I'll write that down. I could definitely improve on the stretching... I'm going to get a pool float "noodle" and use it to help stretch/ massage my calves and skin muscles. I'm hoping that will help some. I'm hoping continuing to lose weight will help as well. I'm doing some weight training, but I don't think any of it has…

:) Thank you! I would love to see your progress, when it does start coming off.

Thank you! That's a wonderful thing to hear. :)

Awww how AWESOME! I'm glad that my sharing the pictures could give someone in a similar situation a little insight. That makes me feel even better. :) I am having SO much fun. The Camp Gladiator work outs are some of the hardest things I've ever done, but we have different activities every time so that makes it very…

Y'all are funny with your disclaimers. ;)

You guys are making me BLUSH. Haha. Thank you! And I surely hope so... Okay, I will send you a friend request here in a moment. :)

Thank you! :) And you are so kind, what a nice thing to say, thank you again! I am actually into photography (just a hobby) and seem to mostly end up doing family style and portraits, so I understand what you're saying. I hope eventually I will feel much more comfortable being in front of the camera as well.

Thank you, thank you! :)

;) Even if you don't have pictures in the style I posted... you might have just a regular picture you could use for comparison, when you were at a heavier weight? But yeah, take some pictures today and track your progress from here forward. And wall-la! :)

It's never too late to start. Take some today!

Thank you! I'm glad my mind wasn't playing tricks on me, again. :)

Also, potentially surviving the zombie apocalypse.

For my husband to be able to pick me up with ease. He tries to when he hugs me sometimes and I always fight and stop him because I'm terrified he's going to hurt himself... I'd like to be light enough to feel okay with letting him. :)

When I run into crappy ex boyfriends or their mean mother's in my hometown... for them to think "Wow." Instead of "Wow. She let herself go." That's more of a immature one, than silly. But whatever. lol

Hehe, thank you!

To be able to sit on the bathroom counter (like I used to) to pluck my eyebrows or put on makeup.

To see my collar bones again.

Oh! I've got a lot of these. To be able to brush my teeth without jiggling. :)

^ @bethcassels Dang it. Still learning how to do this forum thing. lol

:) Thank you very much! That's exactly how it was for me, I had to get in the perfect frame of mind. And it is still amazing to me just how much better I feel even though I'm really just getting started - depression is lessening, same with anxiety and I have energy I have been searching for, for years... Congratulations on…

:) Thank you!

Thank you, thank you!

:) Thank you! Haha, well, I guess it is.

I meant to add this for face comparison... I'm not entirely sure I see as much of a different there yet.

:) Thank you, thank you!

Maybe someday I'll look up who came up with the name of that dumb thing. lol
