I am noone special just a housewife that was unhealthy~& Tired of being big ~So I got determined~First I quit smoking then I Started my weight loss journey Several months later.~I am so proud of myself & I am more than happy to help anyone who needs help on here. I remember reading these goal threads & thinking "wish that was me lucky people" ~It was motivating yet stressful. ~I mean it took me 60 pounds of loss just to get to the 100's! (onederland as we call it on here)Which there were goof ups days & days I felt helpless ~but the goal is start strong & stay Strong Cause if u give up U will never Reach your goal .

LORI. You are such a beautiful person inside and out and such an inspiration to everyone here on the board. You are such a go-getter! You, YOU, YOU! Such determination, so powerful, so uplifting. You kick a** GURLY. No one deserves this the way you do. Truly savor every last moment now. Relish what you have achieved and remind yourself frequently. You have done this. Happy 2010!

Size 2 LOOKS GREAT on you! :)

Lori you look amazing!! your so darn skinny and your outfits are just sooo cute!! congrats on the AMAZINGGGG success!!

You are AMAZING.

Quick question but how did you tone the flab afterwards? This problem alone has kept me from even getting started several times. I think I'm allowed to ask this because I am pretty much you two years ago (height weight similar).

Wow! You look great! Congrats on your inspiring success!

Way to go Lori!

Wow, you are TRULY an inspiration. Amazing job!!

you look awesome !
