Very inspiring. I can see if I do what I'm supposed to do, I can get here too. Thanks for sharing :smile:

Thanks for the inspiration. I too need to lose about 70lbs. I'm done 24 lbs thus far, so I'm just going to keep on going as your story has reinforced to me the importance of just pushing through as hard as it can get at times. I'm serious this time as I'm getting into clothes that I haven't been able to fit into for years.…

You have inspired me this morning. Thank you for posting your Journey photo. I'm at the beginning of this process, so I know there is hope. I've decided to make the commitment and stay the course, so we'll see where it takes me. Keep up the great work on your journey. :)

Thank you for sharing and inspiring me today. You look fabulous. This makes me keep wanting to stick around here to see where I'm headed on this journey. Obviously, you must be moving around a lot while eating healthier. Do you have any tips for those of us who are working on seeing big results like yours? If so, I'd love…

This is very inspiring. Thank you for posting and showing people like me that it is possible to get a lot healthier than we are before we begin. I hope one day to look this great. I only started on Jan. 1st 2017 again to really get myself on track. Lost only 12 lbs. yet,it's an accomplishment as I am seeing the scales go…

Thank you for sharing your inspiring photos. Sometimes I find it hard to stay on track, so I come here to the success stories to see if something can motivate me and you are certainly it today. Keep up the great work. I'm headed in the right direction I'm sure. :)

I'm 63 years old and find it very inspiring. Your pictures motivate me to stay the course. I just came back charting my food after a long absence from MFP. Since January 1, 2017 when I started till now, I have lost 12 lbs.It's not a lot of weight I realize. What counts though is I feel like I'm Headed in the Right…

Thank you so much for all these before and after photos. You certainly inspired me this morning. I too am a bit of a fashion queen and have made my clothes work for me no matter what weight I am. I restarted this journey January 1st after a long absence from MFP. I've lost 11.6 lbs. thus far and have logged my food and…

Thanks for the inspiration. You look amazing. I hope one day to be able to share an amazing story like yours. Till then, I'm going to keep on keeping on. :)

I really want to see 200 lb. mark. I have 55 lbs. to go before reaching this goal and I'm determined to get there. Once there, my next goal is to reach 170 lbs. Should I be able to surpass that weight, it would be a bonus for me. I'm really about getting more healthy as I age. Eating clean is the way I'm choosing to get…

Thank you for sharing your story. This is incredible. I have started back again Jan. 1, 2017 with Clean eating and tracking my meals in MFP. I've lost a bit of weight. I'm thinking if I'm going to get from 255 to 170 lbs., I need to incorporate exercise into the equation. I know I would feel better if I lost all this extra…

I can see a big difference. You certainly inspired me today. I was out last weekend and someone said I lost weight. I thought, no, not that much,but they pointed out my face, arms, waist and bust. I guess inches count when we are losing weight. I've got a long ways to go yet. Will take it step by step and find a little fun…

You look fabulous. Thanks for being an inspiration today. :)

You certainly have inspired me today to keep pushing. Thank you for sharing. I don't see results right away and it's in those times I want to cave. What I'm learning is to track everything regardless of what it is. Be true to myself. I'm only fooling me if I'm not. You look fantastic and I'm a bigger person who enjoys…

You certainly have been an inspiration for me today reading your story. Thank you for sharing.

All I can say is WOW!!! You definitely are an inspiration to me today and an example to many that there really are no excuses to not get healthier. I have two able body legs and really don't have anything to complain about looking at your story. Thank you for being brave enough to post. I too am going to bookmark this page…

I too dealt with a torn meniscus. I didn't have surgery. I did the exercises the PT gave me and went to her regularily and learned through her how to stand, sit, walk and get this, yes indeed dance without reinjuring myself. When we have an ailment it makes us more conscious about ourselves and what we do. I call this a…

Nice to know all this. Glad I came to read as someone messaged me on facebook to buy some of this. I never responded as I didn't know this person. They are friends with someone who is my friend. I guess they go through profiles finding overweight people offering them this false hope. I also have another friend who has lots…

I used that same line for years that eating healthy is more expensive. How I got around it was when I picked up a bag of potato chips for $3.88, I would tell myself if I bought Bananas at .89 a lb. I could eat 5 times instead of one sitting of chips with no nutrient whatsoever in it. I played that game for awhile before I…

Wow, you and your husband look incredible and so happy with how you are. What an inspiration for me. Thanks for sharing your story :)

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I am 10 days into my new journey and needed some inspiration. I found it in your weight loss journey. I'm having my 63rd birthday on Sunday and figured, it's time to get healthier so I don't get sick like some of the folks I work with in a caregiving capacity. I will keep your…

Thank you so much for inspiring me today. I just decided in June 22nd with a friend to walk and change my eating habits to become healthier. So, I'm just at the beginning of this journey and seeing your photos and hearing your tips and how this works has motivated me to keep on keeping on. Since June 22nd, I lost 9 lbs.…

I read your caption today which prompted me to read your story. Thank you for the confirmation I needed to not worry about what the scale says because I too am overweight and I have in my mind that I need to lose close to 90 lbs. I started a regime on June 22nd of this year with watching what I eat and Walking. I talk to…

I just wanted to thank you for your inspiring story. I have been here off and on. More off than on. I've decided on June 22, 2016 this year that I really need to get a handle on myself and get healthy because I could not move last year when I injured myself and I gained yet more weight and became depressed over it all.…

You have an amazing story. It moved me beyond words actually. Thank you for sharing it because we really do need to know that the journey can be a very difficult one which you struggle with on a daily basis. I sometimes want to give in and give up because it hurts a lot. I don't like what I've done to myself over the years…

Thank you for sharing your photos and story with us. You certainly have inspired me because I need to lose a pile of weight and just seeing the difference in you has helped me realize that as long as I stick with it, I too will be able to drop the lbs. I'm moving a lot more these days. I do have to find something though to…

That's awesome. I understand exactly what you are saying as I haven't moved in many years either. And last year, I was not able to move even if I wanted to as I tore all the cartilage in my left knee and am awaiting a surgeon. For the past month, I started to walk with a friend who wasn't moving either. I found my knee…
