I have gained 20 pds. over the summer, so this would be ideal. Count me in. Here's to taking 20 off.

I have been relapsing since June 2012 and can't seem to get anything done. I do well for a few days and then back to my old ways. I have gained 20 lbs. back of what I had originally lost. This is so frustrating. I need help in a big way.

My god, you must be heaven sent for posting what you did. You are an answer to my prayers today. God Bless!!!!

The day is only beginning for me but I am proud I didn't have a sweet with my usual coffee (just milk) at the coffee shop. Some days when I am tired, the temptation is overbearing to eat donuts, sweets, but for this morning I have resisted.

People are just f*$!!ing idiots most of the time. I work with people who are fat and out of shape yet make negative comments about other people who are trying to get healthy. This summer I have gained back 15 lbs. of what I had lost last year so I'm sure I'm giving them lots of stuff to talk about. Anyway I think at least…

I work with one of the most poisonous snake of a woman that ever existed. When I started losing weight she made comments about how people that loose weight just end up putting it all and more back on. She never does anything to be healthy herself. All she eats is junk and can barely wiggle her fat *kitten* up to the…

Keep it going and soon you will no longer be a 200 lb. woman.

I need this challenge and a kick square in the *kitten* for my binging for the last 2 months. Here's to August and no binges!!!

I am so impressed. I too am 5'3" and weighed at my highest 255. I went down to 174 first of March but since have gained some back (185 lb. currently). I am having a hard time this spring/summer staying motivated but people like you give me strength. I think I may have to get the same work out buddy you have to help me!…

You look amazing! With all that hard work you deserve to post that bikini photo. All the haters can suck it, you are a rock star.

I have a 96 harley fat boy.

Your pictures are wow!!! You truly are an inspiration to all of us.

You are indeed an inspiration. You look fantastic and I'm so glad you are celebrating this huge success with all of us. Keep up the good fight. You look amazing, so happy.

I think I look my age. However, I was always mistakened for being older before I lost 70 lbs. Losing weight makes you look and feel younger.

When you are young and perky, it is definitely okay. However, I'm older (47), big tatas (38D) and have had three children - NOT OKAY. No one wants to see that.

I have been married to the most insensitve arsehole when it comes to weight issues for the last 22 years. He does however have a lot of redeeming qualities, he just doesn't get it when it comes to people being overweight. There has been alot of comments that have almost started WWIII or a divorce. You have to weigh the…

Why can't we wear what we want today and enjoy it instead of waiting for that magic number on the scale or to lose the belly fat etc?? Why can't we live in the moment and enjoy. Just a question I ask myself from time to time.

I am from Miramichi, New Brunswick. Proud east coaster.

Cannot express how touching alot of the posts on Take It Back Tuesday were. I had to go back today and read them again. Awesome!!!!!!!!!!

I am taking back my power over giving up the fight to become healthy. I've had one hell of a stressed out few weeks but I am reclaiming my life right now.

Too many times to count, especially in the last two months. There has been more bad days than good. Anyway, back at it again today. Wish me luck.

I walk for 30-40 mins. on my lunch hour. I have an hour so it passes the time. I have just enough time left over to clean up, eat and get back to my desk. I find it is a great stress reliever as my workplace is very stressful.

Hi, I'm 46 (10 days from turning 47). I have lost 80 lbs. and still could lose another 25. I started this journey Jan. 2011. I had a bit of a weight issue in my late 20s. Then in my 30s when I had the 2 children, 2 yrs. apart, all hell broke lose. I had over the years lost 20 lbs or so, only to gain it back with alot more.…

You rock girl. You truly are an inspiration to all of us. God bless!!!!

Thank you for your wise words. I know it's my soul that needs feeding not my belly.

Thank you for your encouraging words. Yes we will keep plugging away, because that is what we do. We are survivors.

I so want to tell my boss and one special coworker to eff right off and keep going. Grow the eff up you jerks we are not in junior high. This is not a popularity contest and if it was the both of you would never win.

You are my idol!!! I can only focus on "how far I got to go" that I don't enjoy or celebrate "how far I've come". Keep up the good work and good for you.

You are beautiful!!! You are also my hero. Keep up the good work and the good fight.
