Kristy,

Here I sit reading this, with tears just streaming down my face. How you must have felt being able to write this!!! I know what a struggle it is to even get going, but for you to have done it, and are CONTINUING to do it, is just AWESOME!!!! You constantly hear what an inspiration you are, and I don't know how else to say it, because that is EXACTLY what you are. I am SO happy for you, and VERY thankful that you've chosen to stay on the board and keep inspiring us.

Congratulations on having the strength, to get to the point, where you are a SUCCESS STORY!!!!!!!! You definately deserve it!!!! Heather

Kristy, thank you so much for that fantastic post! And congratulations on winning your hard-fought battle with weight!

For someone like me, who is only two weeks in on Atkins, seeing someone like you, and reading a story like yours, now knowing that it CAN be done and WILL work if I stick to it, is such an inspiration and exactly the motivation I need.

GREAT JOB! You must be thrilled and proud and you must LOVE going clothes shopping now, which is something I look forward to greatly. WAY TO GO!

Congrats Kristy. You are an inspiration. When I reach my goal I won't need to write a success story. I'll just copy and paste yours because mine is a mirror image to yours.

Congratulations, Kristy, and thanks for posting that. I remember that during your break from the forum, someone posted trying to get your attention... something to the effect of "hey, how'd you do it?" Now you'll have a success story link for everyone to read, even if you depart from the forum again.

Much continued success to you!
