I just joined this forum and decided to read through some of the success stories to help inspire me. Wow, yours is amazing! It is so wonderful that you recognized at such an early age how important it was to do something to insure your good health, and I salute you for that. Thank you so much for sharing your story.

May you live a long and healthy life!

Lizzi - awww, thank you!

Chrissy - this time when you hit goal, head on over to our Living Maintenance section and jump on in! It is one of the major things I think helped make me successful.

SouthernMaven - thanks! Can't wait to get to know you better.

Echo - thanks! That scale thing is always particularly appropriate when the scale is NOT behaving as you'd like, even when you do all the right things.
