Thank you so very much for posting this.

Congratulations on your wonderful achievement and thank you so much for sharing.

It's inspiring.

Thank you!

(I don't think I said thank you enough so thank you!)

Aww you're welcome and thank you so so much :hug::hug:

I think your name should be changed to WONDERchic!!! What an inspirational story - it has it all - challenges, determination, victories, love and even precious puppy dogs - what more do we need to gain strength from your example?!

I've only been here a few weeks and am mostly definitely in the "before" mode - but I have been logging on to read the weight loss journeys of so many brave and generous people whose sharing has meant the difference between me staying on track or not. In those times we all have experienced - the times where you try to rationalize a snack or a treat with some insane lie - I hop on board and read and read and before I know it any thought of cheating is gone with the wind. Thank you for being one of those stories.

Keep up the good work and your support of so many people here - you have not only made a difference in your life but also in others.

Awww you are so very sweet. Thank you!! :hug::hug:

Wow! WOW!

Your transformation is amazing, truely amazing! How on Earth did you do this in such a short timespan?

I so want to show your photos to my friend who is roughly your starting weight and does not know where to start...

Thank you very much :hug:

Counting calories and exercise have been my weapons of choice ;).

I don't mind if you show my pictures to your friend. I put them here so maybe I could inspire someone who thinks it can't be done :) :hug:

Hooray for you! What's your secret for staying motivated? Besides your obvious success? You're looking great! Are you on a specific diet? And do you exercise?

patsue -

Thank you very much.


I think for me it is more about determination and not motivation..I am just determined this time to lose weight and be happy and be healthy so it keeps me going.

As far as a specific diet, no, I don't do diets..I am on a lifestyle change. I eat low calorie, healthy foods..I count calories and yes, I do exercise, 5 days a week, 90 minutes each day though they are broken up over the day into 30 minute sessions.

pm'd you!:D
