When I see this, I think, "If she can lose 400 pounds, I can lose the 30-40 that I need to".

I am still upset with myself for not having lost them because I've never been able to lose them, but now I am relly trying. She is truly inspirational for trying so hard.

Thanks Ruby for helping to motivate me to keep at it. I thought Weight Watchers was too slow but now I found that I needed the time to learn how to eat healthy and to keep it off this time. Love ya!

I totally agree with her, if you want to loose weight, do it "today" and not "tomorrow" because seriously if you keep saying 'tomorrow' then it will never come.

[EloiseBean]

shes right tomorrow will never come, start NOW

[PurpleHoneyBear]

I think that's really awesome. She did a great job.

I'm not sure how they got her riding a horse though. I didn't know that you could put that kind of weight on a horse without straining its back or something. Nevertheless, I am very happy for her.
