Ali, I have to say, I admire you. I can so relate to your story, and something in me really wanted to read this particular post.

I know you can keep going. I know you can do this. You don't need luck - you need faith - faith in yourself. You CAN.

Thank you for sharing your story and I will be following. I also need to get back onto the wagon and will join you in a week or so. Have you thought about WW online? it is a bit cheaper and you can keep track as well. I was online and think I will rejoin again too.

I am hearing you roar!

Oh Hun. You had me in tears! Your story reminds me of me in relation to the diets/peoples comments/feelings etc.
I know how hard you have been working to do this and I have every ounce of faith in you that you can do it.
You are a beautiful, amazing woman - you have already done so well to get this far.
If you need to chat/vent about anything you know where to find me.

I know you can do this - you have the motivation and determination and it shows there in your story. xx

Oh hun you can do it.... you will and you will be fabulous and the weight will stay off!

I'm on the journey too, i look forward to keeping up to date and seeing how your going.. just remember 1 step at a time, small goals are easier to stick to.

My new mantra is: I WILL be fit and healthy for my girls!

Wow Ali!!! That is an amazing story. Thanks so much for sharing. I can relate to so much of what you say in here especially about thinking that I was always bigger than other people but when I look back at photos I realise that I wasn't. I never realised how significant (or normal) that was until I read your story.

Good luck on your journey. I really believe that you can do it! I am looking forward to following your journey
