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...

@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.

@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.

@miszizaki its worth it.

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.
