Thank you all so much for the lovely responses!
It's so wonderful to get little reminders of how helpful my journey has been for some people. It's all I can hope for to help inspire and motivate others to fix what's broken in their lives, as they say on the Biggest Loser.
:biggrin:
Certainly a lot more to smile about nowadays, Ithfifi! It's great to see results, for sure!
Thanks for the nice comment!
Heya Kev!
Yeah, everything is going pretty good! I still have some rough days here and there, but I just keep on going as usual
I can definitely be described as 'shy and quiet' around women still, but it's improving! I'm getting better at maintaining eye contact (usually), and just today I even complimented someone on her shoes (they were bright pink), haha
Thanks for the well wishes, Kev! Hope everything is going good in your part of the world as well!
Well thank you, Sarah!
I hope to go even further as the months go by! I've still got a significant amount of weight to lose, and I'll get there! Soon, the NY pics will fall into the 'Before' section too! haha :biggrin:
I'll try not to get too thin, but I'm certainly not finished yet.
Thanks for the post, Sarah!
Hi musical!
Honestly, it was really scary for me to start this thread. I've never been one to open up and put myself out there like that, especially on the internet and to complete strangers. However, it's been a decision that I haven't regretted once! I've read so many positive responses where it's helped push others to succeed and/or get back on track. I've also met some truly amazing people and established some incredible friendships!
Suffice to say, I've never had too many friends growing up as I kept myself pretty confined. My only interaction was through online video games, but even then, I didn't really reveal too many details about myself.
Anyway, all that has changed now! :biggrin:
Congrats on your 40lb loss, musical! That's phenomenal! You're well on your way!!
hehe, and thank you for the lovely words about my photos! You wouldn't think it with all the pics I've put up here over the last year, but I'm still pretty shy about uploading myself. I put that feeling aside though if I can find good pictures to really show the difference between how I was then and how I am now.
I'll post more as I continue on though! I can't wait to get into the 160's! :biggrin: hehe
Thank you all again for the wonderful comments! I really appreciate it and it just reinforces my focus!

I've lost 40 pounds, but still have 80 to go, and it's easy to feel overwhelmed. Stories like yours help me feel grounded and determined! Thanks!
P.S. You look FANTASTIC! I saw your after photos and did one of these ----> I'm hoping I have a super hottie under all this fat, too! You look like a different person!!
