Thank you for sharing your story. You are truly an inspiration to all of us!

You look great

Borderline 16/18 US right now - Started at a 24. Almost half way through my journey.

Congratulations on changing your "inside" as well as your outside. True inspiration.

I started my journey in March of this year. I am 5'2"

WOW - you have achieved a hard thing to overcome. You should be very proud of yourself. You look great!

Revamping my entire closet. All my clothes are big as I have not been thin / skinny / at goal weight (how ever you want to classify it) for years. I am down to my skinny fat clothes and they are starting to be too big!

I think this is the biggest thing I have learned on this journey. When I know we are going out I eat food with less calories to save up. I went to NYC yesterday to visit my daughter in college. We went to little Italy and I had pasta and a canolli. Guess what? I not only was within my calories for the day but lost when I…

Congratulations on the weight loss and becoming healthy!

You look fantastic!

Bought a dress over the weekend in the regular section of the store - NOT THE PLUS SIDE!!

Great job and great story. Thanks for posting and keeping the rest of us going!

Great job - keep up the good work.

I just got off a cruise last month. I had lost almost 50 pounds before I went and what a difference it made. I tried things I would have never - either due to weight restrictions or just not feeling good about myself Zip lining Swimming with the Dolphins Yoga on the beach Attempted a rock climbing wall I felt great in…

Great job! I started walking about 4 months ago and it took a while to build up and improve time. It amazes me now how far I can walk without getting winded. Keep it going and do not compare yourself to anyone! Remember this journey is for you!

You guys look great! My husband is also doing this with me and it is a lot easier with two!

What an awesome feeling! I am just happy I can now buy clothes in Costco!

I get the same feeling - I can no longer wear Lane Bryant clothes as not have only I lost weight but the shape of my body has changed. I feel funny looking in regular clothes and always start in the plus section of the store. I hope this feels normal soon!

You are doing great and I can see a big difference!

Was able to go zip lining on vacation - under the weight restriction by 45 pounds! Did yoga on the beach and was not embarrassed Attempted a rock climbing wall - go half way up - yeah me!

Great job!

Great job! That is quite an accomplishment!

Thank you for the inspirational pictures as well as words. You are right, everyone has to find what works for them but this is a great story on eating right and exercise but not DIETING - hate that word. Thanks, I am half way through my journey and this makes me want to keep going.

You look fantastic!

You are doing fantastic!! Keep it up - your positive attitude is the key! You can do this.

Hitting Onederland - 2.7 pounds to go! Getting back on track after vacation!

I love your attitude. Just remember - pick up 4 bags of flour and one pound of butter and that is what you have lost - THAT IS HUGE!!

I just returned from vacation - 4 days in Disney World, 7 days on a Royal Caribbean Cruise ship - ONLY GAINED .7 pounds!!! So excited.

Just got back from 4 days in Disney and a week long cruise. Here are things I tried that I would never had before 1. Enjoyed getting my picture taken 2. Went Zip lining - actually 50 pounds below the weight limit for the first time in years 3. Swam with Dolphins and not embarrassed by my size (still have about 50 more to…

You look fantastic! Great results for great dedication!
