There's a little language, but this has to be one of the most inspirational and supportive posts I've ever read. Not everyone is staring at you in disgust! You are awesome and beautiful!!

Congrats on your loss! So glad you found it as motivating as I did.

That is a really good post @PamelaHazelton! I like that it's not a sugar coated version of motivation, it's a little tug on your ears if you haven't moved today Smiley LOL

Love it.

 

I started my health kick on February 14th at 244 pounds.  I'm currently at 227 and my Charge is really keeping me motivated as I get back to my college weight of 195.  We all started somewhere, it's not where you are it's where you're going that matters.
