Great job and mom is always the one to get the family motivated to make good changes.

One little suggestion, though, wear a swimsuit top for the progress shots, instead of a bra.

Just looks nicer.

I joined SP 10 days ago and think it is a terrific help.

[Woolahula]

WOW! you look like teenagers!!! well done, this is truly inspiring xxxxxxxx

[azariah636]

Keep it up! Who is singing that tune?

[koffeebeann]

You look incredible. After battling anorexia and bulimia for many years I turned into an overeater. I'm finally going to change my life,many lose the weight and keep it off in a healthy way. Thanks for the inspiration!

Hello, I have watched a number of weight loss videos on Youtube. Your video is the only video that has touched my spirit. Watching your journey really inspired me to make attempt to change my life. Thank you for sharing...

[LosingJess]

@tmcansah10 I am really happy that my video could help you, even in a small way. It all starts with inspiration to make that first step and then you just keep making steps... Even if you fall, you get back up and take another step. Eventually you get to the place you want to be. You will get there.

@miszizaki I was like you for a long time. I hated the way I looked so much that I lost hope and started hating myself as a whole. I lost who I was or maybe never found myself because of it. When everyone says you have to love yourself before making positive changes in your life they are completely right. You will only hurt any positive changes you make because you deep down dont think you deserve them or think you dont have what it takes to go any farther.

[LosingJess]

@miszizaki Its hard to do but keep working at it and dont give up hope. I had pretty much given up hope when I started this but through support from others and really looking at the way I was thinking, I was able to achieve something that I did not think was possible. You could do the same. Quit trying to go on diets and just feed yourself the things you know are good for you and give your body the activity it needs, not because you want to lose weight, but because you love yourself.

[LosingJess]

@miszizaki its worth it.

[KGWbeautifulbaby]

You both look so healthy and young in the after pics! Your life changed and the lives around you were also changed. That ripple effect will go on for years and years. Great job!

I love your video....You will inspire lots of ppl. I too have lost over 100 lbs...and I totally agree...more than your face and body changes...I just hit my goal weight...and I too am finally happy...thank you, thank you, thank you for this video!

[eraittila]

This is so inspirational! I'm a little over weight. I do exercise but I have a problematic relationship with food and stress and busy life always make me loose focus. Today I had an amazing workout. I love sports, especially snowboarding and I'm concerned about injuries than being overweight might inflict (landing jumps etc). This video and today's great workout helped me to gain back the focus once again!

[dreamingofabeachbody]

How inspirational! I'm currently trying to lose a bit of weight too (as you can see from my youtube name and videos!) and videos like this always help me believe that i can do it to!

[AxKatenok]

Wow you and your husband both look amazing. I just joined weight watchers last night and today was my first day on the plan, so this is great motivation. I have about as much to loose, I just had my 3 rd baby, and fed up with being fat.

[Greeneagle86]

WOW....amazing! You look great! Can't believe you went from a beach whale to a slim and sexy babe! I've seen your sparkpeople profile and wow you look so good now. You lost practically half your weight! Congratulations on your weight loss and you are truly and inspiration to everyone! :)

Good job! God bless!

[ohmyshititsjordan]

This is such a beautiful story. I'm a 19-year-old guy, and i weight 305.. and i've always "tried" to lose weight. I never did succeed. I've had enough heartache, and i really want to do something for myself. You have inspired me, and this song plays in the back of my mind every single time i think of my goal. It makes me think of how much i deserve to be happy, and healthy. i truly thank you, from the bottom of my heart. <3

[marissaandmommy]

I know how you feel. I have 4 little ones and I have lost over 100 lbs...still have 25 lbs to go. Your such a inspiration!!

[fatlikeme3]

[FromFlabToFab1]

congratulations what an inspiration!!!!

[LosingJess]

I get all emotional when the pictures with my kids come up too. I'm glad that I changed for them and they will never be able to remember unhealthy mommy.

[ariesfireangel]

man i think its just the part where you show lyra's ultra sound picture that always gets me to start getting choked up, then all the pictures of you and the kids. i just always tear up every time i watch this! lol

[LyeLye]

0:32 look theres me! >.<

But yeah im happy for you, and maybe i can do the same one day.

Next thing im saving up for when bobby gets a job maybe a treadmill, X.x but i really want a tablet ARG! To draw or be fat, that is the question.

[skent329]
