Great job! You have an excellent mentality about weight loss. Thanks for a dose of inspiration!

You've really inspired me as I reach the end of a two-week period of overeating and little exercise. I need to stop making excuses when I know I can do this. You've really done it and you look great. Thank you for the motivation, and congrats on your amazing achievement.

Congrats! I can't wait to be under 200. Your post also reminded me to take my measurements again!

Look at that awesome waist! You've done such a great job, congrats!

Holy crap, you look great. I love your honesty. Sometimes I look like a sweaty Meat Loaf, too!

Thanks for sharing! You look great.

You look awesome. I can't wait to see how the next 70 pounds go!

This thread rules. Just the inspiration I needed today!

Honestly, this is the best thing I've heard in years. I keep getting frustrated with the thought of how long it will take, but you're right...the time is going to pass anyway so I might as well get healthy while it does! Thank you so much.

Wow! You look great. You've done an awesome job, I can't wait to see your story when you hit goal!

Great job! The change in your stomach is amazing. I hope I can be that successful!

You look amazing! This is so motivating. We started around the same time, but I had some backsliding for a few months. It's great to see how much progress you've made in just one year.

Congrats! You look fantastic!

Great story, and congrats! I have a pair of too-small pants calling my name from the closet, I hope I can have similar success soon!

I'd put myself in Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff, so whichever one is still open is fine with me :)

Great job, and great costume!

Fantastic discovery! I spotted a rare bicep this morning and was both shocked and pleased!

Great job! You look years younger!

Wow! Great job!

Amazing! We have similar starting stats, I can only hope to have as much success as you have!

I'm almost 29, closer to 5'8" (when I stand up straight!) but I'm now down to your weight after losing 24 pounds. A few years ago, I started out at 230 and lost successfully. It feels different this time- I realized how quickly I had reached my highest point and it kind of scared me into cracking down on things. Now I am…

Awesome progress. Congrats!

Great job! And I love your dresses!

Fantastic and inspiring!

So happy for you! You are an inspiration to everyone. Thanks for keeping us all motivated with your daily humor.

This is a really beautiful story. It inspires me, and I am going to share it with my father, who is looking for some motivation as he tries to get healthy. Thanks for sharing and congrats on your amazing success!

You look fantastic! I see a huge difference, especially in your face. As for no one in your "real life" noticing, don't be discouraged. My father lost 100 pounds in 6 months at one point in his life, and our immediate family barely noticed visually, but people he hadn't seen in months were shocked by the change! Like you…

Awesome! I live right by the Philly Zoo and I was there cheering on the runners, I wish I had known to cheer for you! Congrats on reaching your goals. I am considering running the half marathon next year (I've done it once before), but maybe I'll think about the full one now!

I'm a sucker for all things buffalo! I'll definitely be trying these. Thanks!

I finished 30 Day Shred in October. I started at over 240 pounds. On the Shred, I lost 7.2 pounds and 12 inches overall. I feel insanely stronger than before, and my endurance has increased. Despite my high weight, I still managed to see a change in definition, particularly in my upper body. I enjoyed it so much that I…
