Melissa you look great. Mission accomplished!!! 

You look great and healthy! It isn't easy to maintain our best ever shape mentally or physically. It's better to be happy and if you can stay happy while getting back to where you were then great! If it's too much of a burden for where you are in life, then it isn't worth it. ☺️💪🏽 I'm not where I want to be, but I'm enjoying life. 

Thank you, John. You have been an encourager for so very long! Diablo, that is actually an incredibly comforting message. I never think of you as not being exactly where you want to be. I guess because so many would want to be you. But, I guess it makes sense that the fitness and shape I worked for and attained isn't maybe very reasonable to maintain given the twists of life that are going on for me. I do want to do more and do better. But, finding hope and satisfaction where I am is something I need right now... Or I'll go crazy. Thanks for the word 

Melissa you look GREAT! You have tremendous resilience, strength as well as kindness. Youre suceeding at this. You will get there, & we're all behind you. 💪🏼 

You look incredible! Really and truly. And I know on fatsecret people write that all over posts and it isn't true- but trust me- you look very fit and in great shape. 💪🤩 

Happiness is 100% 

Beautiful picture of spectacular scenery and beautiful slim lady walking the beach ⛱️!!🙂 

I'm not sure we'll be able to see you if you lose 10 more lbs....you'll be Mirage from The Increadibles - invisible from the side! 

You look beautiful. 

skinny mini 

Look FABULOUS 

You look great! I see those muscles 💪 

Hi beautiful! I see that bicep muscle! You look great and the plan you have is a well balanced plan! Always here to support you!💜💜💜🙏🙏 

Hazel, thank you so much! I really, really appreciate your support! Dear Princess, you are my inspiration as a human... You work so hard yet work out so consistently and manage everything in your life... And you patiently await my very delayed and delinquent replies...❤️ I do think maybe this photo is sort of extra flattering. Maybe the shadowing and the angle? I had to post because I thought I looked slim, and I don't feel it at all. 😂 But thank you! I think the ten pounds are rather evenly distributed except behind me! You can not see my backside! Hahah!  

Mama_of_7, I think you have something there! And I'm currently a "mama" to 7... Well 8 if we count a fiancé that is around a bunch! But they are all 19 and older. Still lots of work... And wild times! 😂 They do give lots of joy, so I think that focus has to be bigger at the moment than focusing on my dissatisfaction with my fitness.  

Maine coon, thank you! This isn't even the nicest part of the beach by a long shot! It was just the bit without other people. The wide soft sandy bit was behind my hubby, who was taking the picture! We love this place so near where he grew up. We haven't been for 3 years, so it is really special to finally get back up to Canada and family!  

rivalingparis, you are very sweet and fun! Thank you! But I honestly think it is the shadows and angles. The picture just turned out! Believe me, although I'm tall... I'm not that tall and 157 isn't where I want to be. But! I'm thinking about the blessings and the beautiful things in life today. I'm being positive, which is often not me... Thank you!  

sugarplum_, cstrutz, millerm40, thank you for your kind words! p$m! Lady, they feel so soft and small, but thank you!  

Diana, dear... I am blessed by your constant support and encouragement. I truly aspire to be as dedicated as you. I feel so utterly overwhelmed, but I know I could try harder to get to the gym. After swimming a few times this week I'm wondering if I could find a way to escape to a pool to do laps, but I looked at the pool where I use to go and it is closed. I have to find a low impact way to strengthen my knee and get my muscles fit again. I'll try again. 😊❤️💪 

You may be a little over where you'd like to be, but you're looking fantastic! If you're having to struggle to maintain your goal weight, you might want to rethink what your goal should be. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy! 💖
