Thanks for all the kind words! If I can inspire even one person, that's enough to keep me going. The success thread is what has always kept me pushing through!

Jamiecarol, oh how I wish they were my friends some days ;-))) thank you!

In my day to day life I have felt my weight loss was insignificant but when I look at these pics side by side I guess it does show! I have about 20 lbs to go and then maintenance :-/ Which we all know its when the work begins!

Whoa! Thanks. Those are my kids in the pic with me. Both graduated :-)

Amazing dedication! Now just pick back up where you left off! I had been slacking for a good month so this morning I posted my progress pics and had to look at what I was before and how far I've come. So I got my workout in and I'm starting fresh TODAY! I will not allow my bad choices to drag me back to where I was! Best…

We are all in this together and I love the support I get from everyone! One thing I learned, to not get so discouraged was to take it 10 lbs at a time. That really helps and before you know it your at 20, then 30. And so on! I look forward to seeing everyone's progress!

This makes me feel soooo good! I WANT to be an inspiration :-)

wow! Awesome job!!! these stories give me that push I need to keep going!

Thank you! Some days I can be hard on myself but today I came across my "before" pic and had to take a step back at how far I really have come! Seems like when you are "in the moment" it takes forever! But this year has flown by and Im almost half the woman I used to be =-))) I never thought I could count calories but this…

THANK YOU ALL!!!! I LOVE MFP and when I look at other peoples stories and progress it just makes me so proud to be part of it! I don't ever see myself living without MFP, even when I reach my goal :-)

I honestly can't tell you what I weighed in that picture. I know when I started logging on MFP I had probably lost about 15 pounds beforehand. So I'd say about 45 pounds from then to now.

Thanks Jess, I love having you as a MFP friend. You are always so upbeat and inspiring! Been great traveling this road with ya :-)

You look AMAZING!!!! What an inspiration!!! You should be shouting from the rooftops because whether you're at your goal yet or not, you've accomplished so much!!! congrats!

Well those 20 really show a difference!!!! I also go in 10 lb increments, it's not so overwhelming!! Great advice :-)

AMAZING!!! you look like a different person!!!

Awesome results! You look GREAT!

You look GREAT!!!

Holy moly!!! Awesome work :-)

Awesome!!! All of your old shirts now look like dresses on you :-)

Great job!!! You look GREAT!

Still about 20 pounds from my goal but this is 2 months of MFP... First pic is end of May 2012, second pic was last weekend..

You look FLIPPIN awesome!! So inspiring for those of us still working towards our goal! Thanks for sharing :-)

Thanks for the feedback! Bought zumba core for the wii last night, can't wait to try it :-))

Started 6wk6pk today!! I only made it through the first 15 minutes but it's a start!! How do you all log this exercise???

I just love stories like this!! You have done an amazing job and look AWESOME!! thank you for sharing, it will definitely help me on my journey!

I hate milk too and I only use it in oatmeal and cereal :-)

Cant wait to try these!!! Thank you!

You look AMAZING!!!

it's people like you that keep me going!! Thank you and congrats on the transformation!!!

How'd you get those abs?? I want them!! YOU look amazing!! I don't ever see myself having the flat stomach or any kind of definition in that area, for that matter :-/
