Holly,

You look incredible! I'm so glad to read your story and you must know that you are indeed an inspiration to others!
I have made so many excuses and have justified so many times eating the wrong things. Here I read your story and the struggles that you overcame, the challenges of taking care of your children with your husband away serving our country, while you were worried about him too. Wow, your determination has been amazing and you have stayed focused on your goal. I am so in awe of you, and suddenly feel like I can do whatever it takes to reach this goal.

Thanks for sharing your story and CONGRATS!

their girl, too. You look absolutely beautiful and
your success story is such an inspiration. Love you,

Holly - Holly - Holly ----- good golly, Miss Holly!!! This is just super-dee-dooper to see you as a star --- a featured star who has come so far! I just loved reading your story again - I think I've read it 3 or 4 times now from your site, from the article, and from here -- but it's so inspirational and so motivating that it doesn't feel like a "rerun" -- you are just double awesome girl! I count it a priviledge to "know" you and look forward to sharing many more woohoo moments with you in the future!

Woohoo to you -- congrats on being featured -- you're doing great!

Jill

Holly, Fantastic! Thank you for sharing your story. You are an inspiration to all.

Holly, you are an inspiration and a beautiful person inside and out. You bring back a lot of memories for me. I was both Mom and Dad to my babies all those years ago while Jim was at sea or overseas. We were fortunate that when the first batch of kids (we have 6) got to be teenagers, he was mostly home. That was a long time ago and the kids are all grown now and doing very well
Keep up the good work as I know you will. I enjoy keeping up with you.

Claudia

YOU DID "GREAT"!!!!

Wow Holly! You look wonderful! What a wonderful role model you are for your family and the rest of us. Your story is truly inspiring; you really cancel out the excuses for not losing weight: young children, husband deployed, too busy. I really admire you for your accomplishment. Thank you and your husband for your sacrifices for the rest of us. I know it is not easy, but you are appreciated. Susie

Holly, You are awesome and congratulations to you. I am so proud of you. You really perservered and wow once a again congratulations to you.

Holly, you are my hero! What an inspiration you are to me. I am also a military wife with young children who struggles with weight. I"m so excited to see someone who conquered it! (even through the extreme stress and emotions of deployments)You give me much hope. I am currently expecting baby #3 and my husband is away. I am quite overweight, but I have been very close to goal before and I know one day I will get there. Thanks SO MUCH for sharing your story! Folks like you and Kim truly keep me going. (((big hugs)))

Holly, what an inspiration you are to all of us. Thank you for your encouraging witness.

Holly you look absolutely marvelous and you "sound" so happy and confident. Congratulations on your achievements!

Holly,
you are beautiful inside and out. You're half the woman you used to be :) Woohoo! You ROCK.

Thanks to you and your husband for all that you do for our country. I just became an American citizen late 2008 and I really do appreciate our military families.

DLynn, don't beat yourself up for not losing the weight before your son comes home. You were probably worried sick about him. Just revel in the joy of having him home and then you can get back on track. He just wants to see his Mum again, he doesn't care that you didn't lose weight.
Please tell him thank you and the Kimmies are happy he's home safe and sound.

Your story is an inspiration! I have over 100 pounds to lose, and sometimes it feels like I have the WORLD to lose! Thanks for proving to me it can be done, and it doesn't take forEVER to do it. Healthy and steady is the way to go! Congrats on your achievement!

Way to go Holly!! I am so unbelievably proud of you! What an inspiration.

Wow that is amazing.

I'm so proud of you, Holly. You go girl!
Kim ;)

Holly congrats to you!!! What a fantastic "after" picture!! You are such an inspiration to me!! In a situation that could very easily be an excuse to eat out of control, you turned it around to a very positive time to concentrate on yourself!! How hard that must have been with almost the Brady Bunch!! (Without the lonely lady and the man named Brady) You ROCK!!!!
Kudos to you!!!!
Best wishes to you and your very brave husband!!
Tammy (Nightowl)

Congratulations on your accomplishment. I too have lost
130lbs. the old fashioned way and have kept it off now for a year and a half after having been overweight my entire life.
I use Kim's products along with WW and walk at least 2 miles per day. I thought that I could never do it as I am 64 years
young!
