...you are just the inspiration I needed today. I haven't logged in in a while...and after losing 40+ pounds 2.5 years ago...I've sadly piled 20 back on and I am so mad at myself (but I understand me too....). I also read the same books as you...and for a long time my sister was my only pal here...but I decided that I…

...you look beautiful and healthy. So what if you don't lose that last 10 pounds??...ever?? so what?? .maintaining your healthy lifestyle is more important that stressing over the last 10 pounds. You are right to look at how far you've come instead of fretting over the stupid number on the scale! I say, keep eating…

...you look fantastic! and by the way....don't think of them as "stretch marks"...think of them as "love marks"!

omg...I thought people could only lose weight that fast on the biggest loser. Congratulation for a job well done...you must feel like a new person. Very inspirational indeed!

...it's hard to believe that anyone as gorgeous as you ever lacked confidence! Congratulations on your marriage, your weight loss and for treating yourself so well now!

...congratulations! I'm sure that took a lot of work and you probably feel like a new person by now. Good luck with the rest...enjoy your weekend off before hopping back on the wagon on Monday!

...congratulations, you should be very proud of yourself, I'm sure it hasn't been easy. Incidentally, people would pay big bucks to get gorgeous lips like you have...you are very pretty!

...these are all great ideas!....Crock-pot chicken fajitas tonight!

wow...so you basically lost 20 pounds during the toughest month of the year to eat healthy and stay focused. You must have a lot of determination. Congratulations!!

...inspires me more than anything and it's also motivating to see how different a person who is the same height as me... looks after a 35 pound weight loss, which is my goal! The smile on the "after" photo is always much brighter and happier. I also get motivated when they say, "if I can do it....anybody can!" ....because…

...wow, you were very pretty before but now you look amazing-- you lost the weight in all the right places for sure. I found your words very inspiring. I have about the same amount of weight to lose as you did and I began my journey 3 years ago. I'm presently half way there....up and down...up and down! But I'm tired of…

thanks...this is going to be our supper tomorrow night!!

...you are awesome! (and super-smart too!!)

congratulations!!!...you are the cutest thing ever! You look amazing and I bet you feel fantastic. (the bangs are adorable!) ...stay strong!

Woohoo!!!....that is awesome! Way to show that scale who's boss!....congrats!

...you already know how amazing you are but in addition to that...I just wanted to add that you have a gift for writing. I'm wondering if you are a writer.

...I love your attitude. Amazing and very inspiring....and by the way...you are so pretty!

...I can't even imagine how happy you must be....congratulations!!

...all I can say is that you sure know how to lose weight in all the right places. You make a size 14-16 look like a size 8! congratulations on all your hard work!

how great is that?? ...time to go shopping!!

..I would imagine people would definitely notice...6 Kg is a lot of weight! Congratulation and keep up the great work!!

...gulp...you are so teeny-tiny. Not a bobblehead (what mean friends you have!)...but model-thin for sure. Congratulations on your success and you look gorgeous! Obviously, your 50's are going to be an amazing decade...you look very young. p.s....."GO OILERS!!" ...(sorry...couldn't resist...I'm Canadian and lived in the…

....I can't believe the transformation in just a few short months! Really...are you both getting enough to eat? Your success and determination is inspiring. I love your backyard incidentally and tell your husband he looks more handsome and younger without the long beard (in my opinion....)....I wish you both continued…

...one thing is for sure...your humor is NOT just a defense mechanism...you are very funny! Do you have a blog? If so...I'm sure it's very entertaining. Congratulations to you on your amazing success thus far. I have no doubt that you will achieve all of your goals - - at your own pace. I hope to keep reading your…

...great story--very well told, and inspiring to say the least. I'm sure that will always be one of the greatest accomplishments of your life...and of course, now you know that with the kind of will power you possess...you can do just about anything if you just set your mind to it. I don't know where you live, but I'm a…

...are you kidding? You didn't know if you should post?! Of course you should. You look fantastic, the difference is unreal! And after all, people on this site are so good at losing weight that they make it look easy....but of course it isn't! So congratulations...and the dress is very pretty.

...beautiful!!

I've always been the heavier sister...it's annoying! Congratulations...I'm hoping to join the "we can wear each other's clothes" club by Xmas! Congratulations on your success (p.s....don't tell her...but you're prettier too!)

...Jenna...You are awesome, brilliant, amazing and beautiful...what an inspiration to everyone. I'm sure I'm not the only one that checks the success stories every day for motivation from determined people like yourself! I'm so happy for you! You will lose the rest and please post more pics and stories along the way!

..what a cute little thing you are! I love the way that you were so uncertain of your strength when you started and now you are so confident because you KNOW that you have the power!! I love your outfit in your after pic....so cute! Way to go....I'm glad your "parental karma" worked so well in your favor....everything…
