Finally saying I am beyond goal!
 

goal accomplished!

congratulations! you look beautiful. What an accomplishment!

Your demeanor has changed as much as your body!!
Congrats!! Definitely inspiring!!

Holy crap!! You look incredible! I looked at your pictures before reading the post, and I would have sworn you were my age (early 20s)!

Thank you everyone! It is so nice to have a place where people have been where you are and are or will be where I am today. No one knows the loneliness and pain that weight carries with it but those who experience it. It is easy to look at some random person and say geez they are fat....but I have been there and known the feeling. Thank you all for your support! I mostly just read posts--but they have inspired, encouraged, and most of all been with me during this time.

Congratulations! Wonderful job!

Thank you Paradise for such kind words. I get this from people a lot. I think I must have a baby face or something :) I have never smoked, don't drink.....these things age me more gracefully. I actually have a daughter turning 19 this week. She honestly looks 12 not 19. It must be in the genes.
