Heidi I just want to say you look ^#%@ing fabulous! I can not believe that you are 48--from that pic you have the body of a 20 yr old. I'm 25, and I think I have the body of a 60 year old...

Very cool that you were able to lose so much weight and keep it off successfully! That is quite an accomplishment...truly inspirational.

Way to go, Heidi!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have rought tears to my eyes withthis thread, Heidie! I hope you inspire and motivate others as much asyou do me!

+1 REP & 5 STARS for this thread!

No one is absolutely perfect....(not even me! ). It's when you never truly give up a battle, and when if you've fallen, you always quickly get back up, that makes all the difference!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
