Journey of 125 pounds

Monday, January 31, 2011

I've been wanting to make a video like this since before I even lost the weight! I hope to inspire at least one person with this :)

ETA: I've been getting swamped with e-mails and Spark messages from people asking questions about my weight loss. I'm happy to answer new questions, but please check out the FAQ's on my blog before asking. Thanks! http://www.runsforcookies.com/

Wow! Katie you have been such an inspiration to me. This video brought tears to my eyes and has left a lump in my throat. Having seen your journey makes me feel as though anything is possible. I can not believe the changes you made in just 16 months! My goal is to lose 100 this year and I am scared to death. Seeing you, reading your blogs...you are such an inspiration. You are my hero. If you can do this, I think I might be able to too. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing. Please continue to keep us updated and inspired along the way. All the best. You are amazing!

If this doesn't inspire somebody, I don't know what will. This is one of the best videos I have ever seen. That is so awesome that you took so many pictures to document your progress.

I also want to say that you chose the right song for me to hear -- I've heard this song a hundred times but I really needed it today. I had the worst day today and didn't think I'd be able to sleep tonight, but now after hearing this the only option I have is to move along, even when everything is wrong.

Thanks so much for sharing.

Katie, count me in as another one you've moved to tears. Your starting weight is pretty much what I started at.... and I know that one day I will make a similar video. The joy that shines out in your smile these days..its amazing to see.

That brought me to tears. I have had a horrible day of eating everything in sight and feeling like a failure in this journey. You have given me such inspiration to get back to my healthy habits next choice I make. Thank you so much. You are such a beautiful person and your boys are lucky to have you

What an awesome video! You seem to realize it is not all about weight now. It is a mindset. It is living in the moment and not in the past. It is about enjoying the time we have and not worrying about what will happen. It is great! You have done so well.
