  1. Congrats on your story in the paper today!! Surely that should make up for your fall on your run.... a picture of a skinny you in the AJC!! And why does it hurt so much more to fall now than when you were a kid.... seriously!!! :)) At any rate, I don't know you, but I did read about you in the paper today and decided to check out your funny blog... I'm going to send it to my sister across the country who is looking for inspiration to help her lose weight... she is a fellow blogger also. Maybe you will inspire me as well.... plus I enjoyed the humor in the couple of entries I read. Best of luck. Allison

  2. I just looked up your article. Congrats Sara. You have come so far!! The before and after pictures are amazing. I just started back at the gym and you can help keep me accountable for what I'm doing! Thanks for sharing.

  3. I read your article on ajc.com today and decided to check out your blog. I think this is the first time I've commented on a blog. I lost 30 pounds before Christmas and have 30 more to go. Since Christmas I have had a really hard time getting motivated again. I joined a gym, but am not going on a regular basis. I am looking for some inspiration and motivation!

  6. The funny thing is that I missed a day of blogging and just came here to tell you I saw you on ajc.com!

    That is so awesome!

    Congratulations to you and Linda for being such superstars!

  7. Thanks so much for sharing! I always read the AJC weight loss stories and think, "Oh, they needed to lose more weight than I do or they are really heavy, so it was easy to have a lot come off quickly". Always an excuse for me. But I am the same height and weight right now as your starting weight and I am actually motivated! If you can do it, why can't I? All of my friends are thin, so it is hard to find a weight-loss buddy, and I work from home as a bookkeeper so there are always temptations. Plus having two small kids make it difficult to have a set schedule of working out. Always excuses for me that I feel like I can justify. I'm going to make a concerted effort to get my butt up to work out in the morning and to eat better. Thanks for blogging and I'll definitely check back!

  8. Just found your story on AJC.com and I am inspired!! I just turned 50 and need to get some pounds off. Also just got back some high numbers on cholestrol and CRP (?) numbers. I'll be following your journey as I begin mine!

  9. Hi, I just read the article and decided to follow your blog for inspiration. You ladies look great! After just dissing the heck out of myself on my own blog last night for being incredibly lazy, it will be nice to follow someone that has successfully completed a goal. You have much to be proud of!
