Sarina, your progress is truly awe-inspiring. You look absolutely GORGEOUS, wow, you could be the daughter of the woman in the first picture! (Isn't it amazing how time seems to go backwards when we lose weight?) I am proud of you and all of your accomplishments. You are really in this for the right reasons, and your successes speak as such.

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

Thank you Julirama!!!

I will never be able to thank both you and Lyssie for all your help when I pm'd the two of you regarding the weight training questions I had early on. I appreciated the time the two of you took with me in not only answering all my questions but also adding what you thought would be helpful...not to mention the encouragement and support....I am truly grateful.

Thanks for your patience and thank you for hearing me out when I was freaking out about loose skin!!!! Yes, I'm still freaking out about it but I have to admit.....not as bad .

You're an amazing support and inspiration to all of us here!!!!
