Thank you Mel for allowing your story and photos to be shared with us. I am half way through my weight loss journey and reading your story and seeing your photos has helped to inspire me even more and given me a good reminder that each step I take is a step towards a new, fit and healthy me. Thank you!

Love your story Mel. I lost weight 5 years ago after twenty plus years of yo-yo dieting and I have kept it off. But I want to ask you (if it’s not too personal, please don’t) how did you deal with your husband’s affair? I am struggling to make other changes in my own life and wondering how you’ve gone with it. Only recently discovered Craig’s site.
Best wishes
Margie

You are my inspiration. I have been very slowly changing my habits (drinking a lt. of water a day, at least; stop drinking soda; now eating 5 portions of fruits and vegetables daily) and I’m getting in touch with my feelings.. allowing myself to feel (vs. numb myself) and experience sadness, frustration, fear.. Thanks, Mel! Now I think I can reach my goal even faster, you are an inspiring example.
