You have an inspirational story. I heard about you from a friend, Susan Schnells, who lost over 200 lbs. and has been my Angel from Heaven. Through her, I realized I needed to do something, and am finally getting a handle on my eating. The on thing you
both say: "Do it for you..no one else!" Take care and God Bless.

Congratulations on losing the weight. I agree with you what works for you may not work for me. It is a change is life style that works to lose the weight. Keep up the good job and you are an inspiration to everyone who reads your story. I am on my way
to my fourth year of maintaining a loss of 80+ pounds. It isn't easy to lose and just as hard to maintain the loss.

Hi Mattie, I met you in 3FC chat this weekend and had time to check out your website. Very impressive and inspirational. I do like what you said about posting what and when you ate. I've been asked that myself at least 1000 times or more, and its not t
e cure-all that people are hoping for.
When I do tell people a few things they need to add or change about there lifestyle, immediately they begin with the ( I can't do this or that because). I too had "excuses" for most everything for over 25 years, and once I told myself I was going to lose
the weight, I knew I had to lose the excuses too, or it wouldn't work.
As you also said, and I have now said, "if I can do it, anyone can".
Best of luck at maintaining your loss. Be Happy and Be Healthy.
Think Thin,
Susan(snues)

Hi Mattie!
I am totally impressed! What a fantastic accomplisment! I would love to hear how you are doing it. At my highest I was 339 pounds. I joined Weight Watchers (for about teh 6th time) but this time I lost 110 pounds at my most. I am sorry to say I have
ained some weight back since before the holidays and have been struggling ever since. I am back up to 273! What was working for me then doesn't seem to be working now. It is a real challenge for us that have a lot of weight to lose, in that we have a l
ng road ahead of us and need alot of motivation to stay focused. You are an inspiration! Good luck with the rest of your weight loss! You can do it!

Mattie,
While I appreciate your site and pictures..it might have been helpful to give a bit of information on how you actually lost the weight. There are so many diets, and ways to lose..we can't always know what will inspire who...AND as much as I enjoyed yo
r pictures..you hardly look as if you weighed over 500 pounds..the picture of you at 360 doesn't seem accurate either. I'm not trying to detract from your accomplishments..you have clearly lost quite a lot of weight! and Congrats on that! God Help all of
s to help ourselves so we can be successful also!

Your story was really inspiring. I have been on diets most of my life. My weight has been up and down so many times. I have a hard time keeping it off. I started a diet last month and have lost 12 lbs so far. I am determined to stay with it this time
My boyfriend is even helping by betting me that I couldn't do it. That made me want to do it that much more. He already owes me $50.00. Now he says if I can get down to 130 he will take me on vacation anywhere I want to go. Now I have to do it. And
now I know that if someone has the willpower to lose 401 lbs, I know I can lose 100. Thanks for the inspiration.
