Your before and after pics and story (I'm 5'7") are truly inspirational. I don't know why, but your before pic just makes me think, "hey, that's me and look how absolutely incredible she looks at 148..I could do that!!"
Thanks!!!

I'm a happily married guy, a clergyman, and I sure hope I don't sound too flirty--just want to say that you look GREAT! Congrats and thanks for inspiring all of us! I have to update my numbers and pictures, I'm losing and loving it, but one day, I want to be able to say I'm BELOW GOAL just like you! Way to go!
