Kudos for a year on plan.

My take is that you're spot on; your goal is to stay the course, your body will find its corresponding weight.

Happy First Anniversary; may there be many, many, more.

WTG elaina!!

Thanks everyone for the kind comments. :D This is really something that has worked for me.

Beautiful post! And you are simply GORGEOUS!

Your posts on this site are some of my favorites, too -- you are a wonderful contributor to this community!

What a beautiful, uplifting post. You look radiant and beautiful. I know your inside must feel great too! Congratulations. I can by your post you are not only doing the physical necessities to lose the weight, it sounds like you are becoming very mentally fit for the journey as well. I have an idea we will be at your ultimate goal before too long.

That is such an inspiring story, and such an inspiring saying "A year from now you'll be happy you started today."

That really is an inspiring quote. I think I will write it down and put it with my MP3 player for days I don't feel like sticking with it.

Wowee! You give strength to all around you!

Great job.
