hey guys. my name is taya. i don't post often, but i visit the site quite a bit. you guys are great and give great advice. i just thought i would share a bit of good news (and hopefully some inspiration). well, back in september i weighed a whopping (sp?) 200+ pounds (i don't know how many stones that is, sorry)! i was at the worst i'd ever been. i think a certain thing "clicked" in me and i just couldn't stand all the fat anymore. i didn't have a terrible life, in fact, my life was going pretty great. i don't know what happened, but i think there is a certain point in being obese, that i just couldn't take it anymore. i was determined to do anything it took to be fit. soooo...i went on a diet and i have lost a little over 50 pounds! it's scary (but awesome) to think that i'm only 3/4 of what i used to be. i can't say it was always easy, but it is totally worth it! i get compliments all the time and my parents yell at me for spending too much money on clothes (everything fits!). it's an amazing feeling that i can't describe. anyways, to my point. well, my scale its pretty cool. you put in your height and it tells you your bmi and it says like "over weight" or "obese" next to it. well, this morning i got to 149 (yay! finally in the 140's) and it said, "HEALTHY WEIGHT"!! i'm so excited. i had a goal of being in the 140's by the time my friend from accross the country is flying to stay with me during spring break. i've come from obese, to over weight, to healthy weight. while i know that i'm not finished and i have a long road ahead of me, its amazing to look back and see where i came from. soo, i hope that might be a little inspiration to you all. keep up the great work! i know you can do it! -taya  (Note: 1 stone (st) equals 14 pounds.)
