Yes you will do it - if you just keep at it. Good - no - excellent job so far!!! Can't wait to see more in a few months....

Congratulations on a year well spent! You look healthy and strong - oh, and beautiful too. Hahaaha. What we see on the outside looks great - but I bet the changes on the inside are pretty darn amazing too. Yay for you!

You know, I've been trying to figure out why the click happened this time - haven't quite figured it out but something really is different now. I too was obese for a long, long time - and now I'm not! I have been at this weight loss thing for a year and I still have a ways to go but I have really changed - and not just on…

OMG how entertaining to read these posts -and what great "problems" to have - especially when you think of all the weird things people don't tell you about being fat! About losing: I love that I have lost the hump on my back. i have beautiful collar bones - who knew? I can tie my shoes and clip my toe nails without strange…

Whoo -hoo!!!! That's a great feeling! Congratulations! Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

Hi friend - been missing your posts. I missed this one cause I was on vacation and now back went looking for you... Sorry you are having such trouble with your back. Been there done that. Not fun... i just want to encourage you - don't give up!!!!! I have never been able to exercise as hard as you do - i walk mostly and,…

You are doing so well! Congratulations - and keep up the good work!

I am 52 years old and had been obese for many, many years. I am now in the "just" overweight heading towards a normal BMI. So far I have lost 37lbs. Everyone tells me I look younger so I don't think you have much to worry about at your young age! The best part is you will feel better. I feel so much stronger and fitter and…

You are looking so much smaller! Good for you. I have bought clothes that don't quite fit me and used them as a motivator and measure of progress. It's a great feeling when you can wear them well - and an even better feeling when they get too big! Keep up the great work! Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

So awesome! "Discipline is doing what needs to be done even though you don't want to" and "judge yourself in miles not inches". Brilliant!

Fantastic post! You are an inspiration - keep up the amazing work!

What a transformation! Congratulations! Thanks for the inspiration.

I think that skin loosens at a certain age and even those who have not been overweight have sags and droops and wiggles and jiggles... BUT I am actually quite pleased with how my skin has responded to the weight changes in my body - it's not perfect but I think I look better with looser skin than I did with more fat - and…

5'7" obviously! SW 220 CW 189 GW 145 age 52 Looks like I'm the oldest one in the thread... Oh well. I feel young!

What a transformation! Congratulations.

When I first started it was just pure bloody-mindedness. I made up my mind and I did it - even though I didn't like it! (and I was so out of shape it was really hard!) BUT something happened... Something wonderful (and I mean that word - something that leaves me full of wonder). My ability changed. It got easier. My body…
