Wow...you wont believe how many times you have come to mind, when I was working out and wanted to quit.
I have been to your profile numerous times and remember you always sign off saying " dont be like me...be better than me " and I have taken those words to heart and let them fuel my fire.
I have said to myself if that lady is somewhere working out and making protein shakes......then I can do the same thing and be just as successful as her.
You are one on this board that has truly used all you have been given to get to your best.
After taking my tool for granted for sooooo long, I decided to take the challenge as well, cause I know that GOD didnt bless me with life and all of my opportunities to be miserable.
This little light of mine, Im gone do what I got to do to make it shine. Come hell or high water.
Ive said it before and aint too beside myself to say it again, thank you for being my inspiration

In life, and especially on this journey there are sure to be days when you falter and give in.......just remember to never give up. 
Amen!
Thanks for being transparent, you dont know how much you have encouraged me by sharing. Some days I wake up and I'm like did I do the right thing????? Hellz yeah cause Im taking care of me for a change and no matter how cute I though I was at my highest....... Realtalk I wasnt healthy. Crazy thing is I still question what happen,? How did I get there??? I wasn't a large person all my life, then I realized it was life(stress, dissapointment, etc.)
I'll pray 4 u, u pray 4 me,
Nickey

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting a different outcome. So stay tuned for the re-birth of Ms. Nick! OOOOOWWWWWW!
Ms Nick -Da Diva....
I dont think anyone gets to the point of having weight loss surgery without having a long, honest serious talk with themselves and GOD.
The thing is what will you do after the surgery ??? Some people just expect for the tool to do all the work, and that may work in the very beginning. But there comes a time when you have to use all you got, to get all you want. And its not easy......theres alot of days when you fall off the wagon so to speak. But the thing is to get right back on.......and to not forget all your hopes and dreams that you prayed for as a result of this blessing.
I have had to say to myself....."Girl how bad do you really want it " and what you gone do to get there. The band is already there and been there and you still fat. Time to get moving or accept defeat. And thats a hard pill to swallow, cause truth be told I have never accepted defeat for anything that was truly in my best interest and worth my time. Feel me ??? And failing this would have meant that I was ok with me failing at ME. I deserve more. want more and am worthy of more. So here I sit working at this thing daily ! Im not giving up and the old pics of me versus the new pics of me echo that same thing. They say " keep on keepin on sis "

Oh wow Donna...you sure do. Just noticed that !
Great idea to put a before pic in your signature line.
Let me go find a pic that tells my whole truth....so I can keep things in perspective.
Its funny cause I sign on sometimes just to talk to folks and catch up but this is truly about staying focused on this journey. A before pic would say and do a whole lot more to keep me motivated. Here I am keeping the old me hidden....that chick needs to be front and center for all the world to see.

I really can relate. I reallly, really can. I can barely look at the old pictures. I burnt (seriously) most of them. But occassionally one will surface from a family member or friend and I just cringe. 
Lately, I have been meditating on Luke 9:62 which has really helped me let go of the old things that I have been clinging to. Jesus is talking about plowing a field. If you look behind you, you will not plow a straight line. I'll put it an updated verson. You can't drive your car looking in the rear view mirror. Death is for sure if you do. I have to forgive myself for letting it get so bad. I have to forgive myself for going there in the first place and I have to look forward to what God has for me now and in the future.
How could some one love you??? How could they NOT love you?? You are more than your body weight. You are so beautiful and to love you, is to love all of you. Your beauty just ....is. Now it's just in a smaller package.
