I'm happy to report that I've lost 72 pounds of the 100 lb. goal I set for myself . It's taken me about 1 year and 3 1/2 months - doing everything at my own (slow) pace.

I was so afraid to start - because I was afraid to fail. Then, once I started losing - I was afraid the loss would stop and regain would start. When everything in my life got really stressful and crazy (late last November) - I thought it would fall apart.

But at every turn, I've kept succeeding. I'm strong than I ever thought I could be - and as it turns out, I was all along - once I got past the fear to try.

So come on and try with me - we'll reach out goals together!

FANTASTIC YOU GIVE ME HOPE!

Great Job!!!!!!

Incredible work! How has your new found strength effected other aspects of your life? It seems like I've gotten more adventurous and wondered if anyone else has that experience. Great Job!

That is great!! Keep up the great work

CArdiomaster....that is fantastic.!!! I am sooooo happy for you!! See what happens when you have faith in yourself. Girl that is great!!! not too far to go to hit that 100 pound mark and I have every faith in you that you will succeed!!!

Wow! Congradulations!

Wow! You are truly an inspiration!

Congratulations!

wow! i hope to be like you and stick to my healthy ways for at least 1 year!

Go Girl! What you said about you being strong all along you just didnt know it, reminds me of the book " Who Moved My Cheese" where the moral of the story is : What would you do if you werent afraid? Very good book, and you can relate it to almost anything in your life.. .I definitely recommend it. You could probably read it in one evening, its short, simple and pretty profound.

Great Job!!

Wow, 72 lbs keep it up! Truly an inspiration.

That's so wonderful! Congratulations and way to go on all the hard work!
