Whatever gets you up and moving and keeps you interested. I work out from home and have built up my home gym starting with only a few kettle bells, to having my own squat rack and bench press. But some people are more motivated being around others at the gym who are driven. Whatever works!!

You have worked so hard over the past two years and wow, you look beautiful!!! Kudos to you on taking your health and life back! Just amazing.

What a difference. Congrats!! Your doing great!!

You certainly have dealt with some difficult challenges!! But I am glad that ultimately you did not give up. Best of luck on your second surgery and hang in there. You got this!!!

You look GORGEOUS. Changing ones thinking and unlearning habits is no easy task. And for me it was a pain in the neck for the first 6 months (especially preparing meals in advance for the following day ...to take to work ect). But enough about me. I am so happy for you. Congrats!!

Wow you don't look 185 in the picture on the right. You carry your weight well.

Fantastic job!!! Very inspiring. Keep up the great work!

"I'd like to have a base of muscle when I get older and start to deteriorate." I love this reason!! I definitely want to slow down deterioration by taking preventative measures. Never a better time to start than now. Keep at it!!

Beautiful before and after!!! Congrats on all your hard work in becoming healthier. Thanks for sharing!!

Wooo hoooo!! Well done!!

Awesomeness!!!! Lookin gorgeous!!!

"Don't do anything to lose weight that you don't want to do forever." Wise words to live by. Congrats to you on your success!!

You have reclaimed your youth along with your health. Took years off! Just beautiful.

So you have lost approx 22 lbs. What a difference!! I cannot imagine you having another 44 lbs to go though. In any case, you look fab!!!

Started at 34" and am down to 27". (5'4)

That's a good feeling!! Well done. And happy birthday! :O)

Awesome accomplishment! Congrats!! Keep up the great work.

Wow that's super!! Woo hoooo!!!! Keep up the great work.

You look great!! Super awesome work. Rock on!!

Yayyyy!!!! Great work!! 20lbs IS a big deal. I too took it slow ...making small changes that I could stick to that would add up to big results later. Glad you are doing it for yourself!! That's important. You are going to do just fine. I am rooting for you gorgeous!!

While I am sorry to hear about the loss of your father, I am proud of how you took control of your life and health! Awesome transformation. You look so healthy and just radiate! I was a vegetarian for more than half my life and am assuming that is what you are doing? Well congrats!

Well done!!! You look beautiful. Keep up the great work!!

Agree 100%.

2nd this.

When it comes to alcohol, I don't bounce back as fast as I used to. Kills motivation to push hard in my world. I love to lift so it had to go. That and to keep my health... Many here don't have an issue with fitting it in ect. So see what works for you.

Couldn't have said it better myself!! I have spent the past 4 years doing exactly this. Congrats to you and keep up the good work. Your a stunner!!!

Exactly this!

Awesome sauce!! I am rooting for ya. :)

Love your attitude! You got this.

That is very sensitive and kind of you to avoid "overshadowing" another persons weight loss accomplishment. But honestly, what type of person would react to your commitment and achievement with such an attitude towards you? Well, we are here to celebrate with you. Congrats love!!!
