Sometimes when I read others blogs, I see lots of comments. Sometimes even 5 impress me. I don’t think I get 5 comments very often, so I’m wondering, who is out there reading? Leave me a comment! Show yourself! :)

Hi Jackie,
I’ve been reading your blog for a few years now, since you were in the newspaper down here in Arizona!! You are so inspirational and I enjoy reading about your journey. There are so many of us going through the same ups and down and you and I enjoy reading your successes! Thanks for all you do!
I’ve been reading for a few years. I lost 70 lbs in 2007 and found the blogs online to be an inspiration as they came from a real perspective. Unfortunately I gained the weight back in the last 2 years. I recently got engaged, so now I am working on losing and getting in shape for the wedding. I don’t want to look squeezed into a tux, so I have extra motivation in 2010.
Jackie, I stumbled upon your site while doing a search on PCOS. I have it. I’m also struggling with my weight. I lost 40 lbs recently. I’ve gained back 15 lbs. Like you, I’m now focusing on having a healthy life. Your story and blog entries really imspire me. Pls keep blogging. I check your site every day. All the best! Norma.
Hi Jackie! Longtime lurker, first time commenter. I’ve been following you for a few years, I’m pretty sure I’ve read every one of your posts. I’ve always struggled with food and can really connect with your journey. As a recovering compulsive overeater, I appreciate how candid you are with your daily struggles. All the way from Alberta, Canada, you are an inspiration!!
Hi Jackie,
I’ve been reading for over a year and I’m so impressed with your current journey! I also love hearind about your dog! :)
I’ve been reading for almost a year probably….as someone who fought weight most of my life those are the blogs I tend to gravitate towards… I had wls but it is still a battle…I appreciate how honest you are about yours! I just got a Wii fit plus and would love to know more about the challenge you are doing, how you found out about it and got involved etc….keep keepin’ on! you are great =)
Hiya
I read your blog all the time, but on the few occasions I have tried to leave a comment, it wouldn’t let me.
I think you have done a fabulous job and you are looking amazing. Keep up the great work.

Hey Jackie, I have been reading your blog since maybe 2006 (?) I read almost everyday! We have so much in common I just feel like I can relate to you. I have PCOS, I have lost and regained weight over and over…..i know you dont think so, but you are very inspirational to a lot of people…..me being one of them!
Hi Jackie. I have been reading your blog for about three years. I too have been up, down, up, down, up, and trying to get back down again. For some of us this is a how it is. I get a lot of encouragement from the fact that you keep trying, despite the setbacks. You are doing wonderfully!
Hi Jackie,
I have commented before but not in a while…sorry. I think you are doing such a brave thing…writing about your struggles. Sometimes I want to climb through the computer and shake some love into you…you are determined and hard working and you will reach your goal. I believe in you and I will try to comment more to support you.

I have been reading for years, and years. As a fellow yo-yo dieter I find inspiration in your struggles and successes.
I have been reading you for a few years now. I just don’t comment that much. Merry Christmas!
I’ve been reading for years!!! I am a FA and do prefer you at your heaviest weight. I do understand that your goal is to be skinny and I get that but I do think you’re great looking without the weight loss… For an outsider it’s hard to understand but there are guys out there that like chubby, plump and even FAT girls!!!
I’ve been reading for probably four years, but I’m the silent type and never comment. Happy New Year!
Hi Jackie, I have been reading you for years. I think you and Trish were the first weightloss blogs I ever began to follow. I was reading before you began going out with Marc and I even feel I know Kathy :)
I have been full of admiration for the way you have dealt with adversities you have faced, especially the loss of your mother, and see a kindred spirit in your tireless effort to achieve a balanced relationship with food and weight.
Live in New Zealand, lost about 130lbs put 50 of it back on and am now in the process of losing it. Hope you and Gunther have a wonderful day.
I’m here. Long time reader too.
My Darling Sister in law, I hope that you have been encouraged by these comments just as you are so encouraging to others. You are a wonderful person inside and out, and I feel so happy that all these people believe that too! XOXOXOXOXO Keep it up, L.A. is coming soon and then WEDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve been following your blog since I stumbled across it looking for motivational weight loss stories about two months ago. I’ve been following your progress ever since. This is my first post. Was really pleased for you when you reached Onederland! It’s really great to read your blog because it’s like there’s someone with me in my struggle to lose the same 30 pounds I’ve been losing and regaining for the last 10 years!
Hi Jackie, I check your blog all the time. I started reading probably less than a year ago, but I find you very inspirational. I am constantly amazed at how disciplined you are (even when you think you’re not!) Most importantly, you are dedicated and determined in reaching your goal. It is simply incredible how far you’ve come, so much so that the small day-to-day variances and “failures” don’t figure at all in the big picture. Thank you for your determination and belief in yourself – it means so very much to those of us struggling out here in cyberspace. Much love to you!
I have been reading for a few months but I have read all the archives to catch up…I love you and fidn you to be very inspirational and a lot like myself.
Hi Jackie, I have been reading your blog for a long time. I am a WWer and am from St. Louis, MO. Yours is one of my favorites.
long time lurker! :) I can so relate to how hard it is on this never ending journey. Congrats on your success
Me again Jackie…I’ve been meaning to ask you, who is Kathy exactly? (Clearly I haven’t read all the archives). And about how much do her services cost? I know you’re on a budget…is it hard to build in that cost?
I’m always here, been here for years :-p Rarely post and jumped off the wagon, but slowly getting back on track.
I read every day, but don’t comment. I support your healthy lifestyle goals!
hey jackie,
i started reading years ago… i think it was 2005… just not much for commenting! i managed to drop 125lbs as of april 2005, and was 20lbs from my goal, but have gained back 45-50 since then and am again struggling to get the pounds off!
i’m so happy for your success and your honesty. it’s such a struggle to do this and (imo) it gets a bit depressing reading those blogs where they have huge success and make it sound so easy! it’s tough, and sometimes we get off track and gain, and have to lose those same 5 lbs once again. and as much as it sucks, it’s real… and you make me feel not quite so alone!
so thank you for writing and for keeping it real! can’t wait to see you in your wedding dress!!!
I have been reading your blog for a couple years. I usually read from my phone and it is hard to comment. I am proud of your progress. Keep up the good work.
