OK…my a/c went out (I live in Fl) and I had to escape to a hotel. Obviously the hotel lighting and mirror lovations were different and I got a good look at myself from a different vantage point than I’m accustomed to (not that I thought I was Naomi Sims in the 1st place) and I was truly HORRIFIED!!! I took myself back to Weight Watchers the very next day and I’ve gotta get a grip on what is clearly an out of control woman…and I’ve got the 250 lbs to prove it. I found your blog after the WW mtg. and it is just what I needed. Thanks so much for sharing sistah to sistah. Continued Success and I look foward to joining you!

“If I don’t be honest and real with myself about the source of a problem, how could I ever possibly and effectively find a solution? Ever since I’ve had this epiphany – this newfound value in self-transparency – my life is so much less stressful. There’s less satisfaction found in dramatizing the problem, and the peace found in having obtained the solution is way more valuable.”

Your story is amazing and inspirational but the above quote truly blessed me! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and most importantly – thank you for sharing your testimony for it is truly a blessing!

I am truly glad that I stumbled upon your blog because it is giving me the boost and encouragement that I need. I am the heaviest that I have ever been and I need to lost some weight. I have been on diet pills and even thinking about the lapband surgery but deep down inside I want to lose the weight without surgery or medication but with strong determination and will power. My biggest problem is that I love food. I always start a diet, lose weight and stop when I see a little success. This is going to be a long and hard journey for me, but I am going to start now.

WOW!!!! Absolutely amazing. I recently started following you on twitter and knew that you had a health and fitness blog, but had absolutely no idea how far you’d come in your journey!

CONGRATS!!! And double congrats for doing it the right way. You’ve got a new reader in me.

Wonderful story! You found “The Secret” that so many of us overlook. Diet and proper nutrition is 85% of the healthy and fitness equation. Working out is VERY important, but if you are still eating junk, it’s not going to help with weight. Congrats on the weight loss and your healthy NEW life!

Ladies,

Thank you so much for your kind words! One of these days, I’ll have to thoroughly outline my journey so that perhaps it can help a little more.

During my entire process, I never saw a nutritionist, but I DID do a LOT of research. Most of what I learned, I’m fully intending to share here.

You are such an inspiration. I want to change the way I eat in 2010 and you have given me some great tips. Now I know where to start. I just bought a cook book with simple, healthy recipes.

Question- Did you see a nutritionist at any point during your weight loss journey?

Thank you so much for creating this blog. I have been reading it for a month or so now, and I am coming to understand my struggle a bit better. I have been overweight since I was 7 years old. I am now 24. My grandmother put me on countless diets, even diet pills (yellowjackets) once. Now I am realizing (slowly, but progress is progress) that this is not easy and calls for a drastic lifestyle change. I am now taking steps to ensure that I can at least enjoy the last half of my 20s. I have a dr.s appointment now to get a physical so that I can do this safely.
You have inspired me. God bless you.
