Smiles...Penny it was tasty, would have been tastier if I had jalepenos with the groundbeef, lol, oh well, can't have everything, but I give thanks! to my provider for his blessings. God bless you. 

Hi...I read your post and saw your delicious-looking pic, decided to look at your profile story. Even though you have a journey ahead to a healthier life, I don't think you're the heaviest. And so what if you are? You've chosen to make the changes for a more healthy body, and that's the first huge step to conquer. Your faith will help you every day in every way. I started at 314 2yrs ago, then stopped really trying for a while at 274. Down to 249 during 2020 til now. Started FS on 6/28. The tracking is important, and something I never wanted to commit to before. That was just avoiding reality. Those if us with big goals are very good at avoiding reality in a lot of ways! That's what got us here. Anyway, I'm so thankful for the FS community support. Just reading the new posts each day is inspiring...small successes, people sharing vacations, tips on what works for them, pictures of healthy meals, etc. I try to be encouraging back to the community, and it's well worth the time to stop and scroll and reflect. You are here, which is the first step. YOU CAN DO THIS!  

Nascar4433, 👋Hello! Very nice of you to write me, your comment has 😢touched my heart. I can see that you really understand the struggles of obesity also relate to the denial of reality people like myself makes. Yes! my trust in God, his Holy Scriptures & his help has been my strength in staying dedicated. Trust me, I've been brutally honest about my weight, it's not an easy thing to open up and admit what I have, so far I've yet to see anyone on FS my size. I have a veryyyy long way to go on my journey of weight lost and to a healthy body, but by God's mercy, I will one day if it's the will of The Lord, I will be victorious in the name of Jesus Christ. This is such a beautiful thing that you've done & do, giving back to others here that may be such a blesing for someone, including myself that could encourage, to inspire, could even stop someone from taking their life that many considers, even tried, again talking from experience. This sight also the members here is a real blessing. Thank! you very much for taking time to share the love & concern. God bless you and your entire family, I also pray that he help you accomplish your goals in weight lost as well.  

Thanks to all who took time out to show me 💚Support. God bless you all
