ohfaithful - don't worry about being half of what I am - focus on being more, better, stronger than YOU are today. You'll get there!

Thank You so much for posting this. I am so pumped up right now after reading your story. You are truly an inspiration and my new motivation. When I feel I can't do this anymore I will come here and say, "YES I CAN". I have struggled long enough. I weigh around the same as when you started and my final goal is the same. You are beautiful!!!
