Renee!

I love your story! You are such an inspiration and a joy and I'm tickled to call you friend.

You look so great! I agree with others, you carried your weight well as a "big girl." Looking at these photos, it's easy to understand your husband not having ever been upset or bothered by the way you look(ed), but I also empathize with not being happy in your own skin and wanting (needing) to make improvements for your health.

Thank you for sharing your story and pictures. I can't help but think they will be beneficial to others already on this journey, just beginning or re-starting this journey to improving mental and medical well-being.

Renee, thanks so much for taking the time to write your story, with pictures. You've clearly demonstrated that the tendency towards fat accumulation is NOT about gluttony, laziness, or indifference. Your photos also show that at any weight, our bodies have a natural shape that doesn't really change. We just...shrink.

Congrats on your dedication to your own best self. We can all do it, right?

Happy 2016.
