		<description>I believe that I am a born winner……………I accept no excuses. God has given me a second chance..probably more than that but I know when I weighed 305 pounds and was 59 and on 21 prescription meds….diagnosed with a blood clot in my leg I did not give up

I said no excuse is going to be stronger than me. No excuse of age, medical condition, physical health…………….I will say SO WHAT??? So what are you going to do to by-pass the problem. If you can’t remove it………..then can you go around it, over it ? Under it? or do something else.

So I started losing weight moving more moving more often, eating better, and now am 62 with 132 pounds off many meds less and I have 33 pounds to go to goal. I am a born winner. I will make it and the Fit to the Finish webemail reminders challenge me to never give up and don’t beat myself up…………..just keep going.</description>

		<description>congrats on 5000 comments, diane! and thank you so much for your blog, anyway: your posts really get me thinking about the reasons why i gained all that weight that i&#039;ve now lost, and  really help me figure out my own strategies for this new journey of maintaining.

as to being unique: i&#039;m not that unique, really, just human. but there&#039;s so much stuff i like about myself: my job, my dedication to my partner and friends, my determination, my love of running....

:)

		<description>Congrats on 5,000 comments -- you and your blog are very inspirational!

What makes me unique?  I&#039;ve been sitting here for the last hour trying to answer that question, and it&#039;s really tough.  Then I realized it&#039;s a question I&#039;ve been trying to answer my whole life.  So let&#039;s just say that what makes me unique in the present is that I&#039;m actively reinventing myself.  I recently retired and am looking forward to my 60&#039;s and discovering the next phase of my life.</description>

		<description>I feel like what makes me unique is being a child of God a part of His family.  He gets me through the hard times by holding my hand and guiding me and is always there for me even in the good times.  And because of this I am blessed.  

He has truly blessed me through your weight loss journey and continues to do so.  May He continue to bless you and all you do for His Kingdom!</description>
