Our Quest to change our lives began in Feb. 2010 and we lost 224 lbs. We slowly gained a lot of that weight back and we're now on another journey for weight loss and better health using Bright Line Eating. This is the story of our continuing Journey. .
(For the fullest effect, begin at the beginning in Feb. 2010 using our Blog Archive on sidebar)

An amazing group of pictures and an amazing number of firsts. You don't look like the same person who started this journey.
As someone that has to lose half of themselves, thank you so much for sharing. This brought tears to my eyes. I can't wait to experience a lot of the same frists! You are such an inspiration to me!!!! You look amazing! :)
Your video made me cry. Lots of tears and lots of joy. I am so happy for you Margene. All the work you did to become the best most healthiest possible person ever. I am so proud of you Margene. You just don't know how proud I am. Thanks you for sharing your journey. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Take care my dear friend. God Bless!!
Margene, I've just finished reading your blog from the beginning. I cannot begin to tell you how much reading it blessed me. The video posted today brought tears to my eyes. I am so, so very happy for you and the transformation of your body. What you have been through and are going through outside of weight loss is hard enough. You and your family are in my prayers while you are apart. You'll make it with the same grit and determination you've used to lose the weight. You have consistently stayed on track and that is amazing!
It is also amazing how much younger you look. All of those people are right to call you 'hot' because you are, girl, you are. Keep it up.
I can't wait to read about you reaching your goal. Lori
I've been following your journey for quite sometime (pretty close to when you started it I believe). You are such an amazing person and have such an amazing husband and family. I cried the entire video-at the journey and at the message I got from the video. In times of struggle and uncertainty I can come to your blog and be uplifted. Thank you!
YOU, my friend, are NEVER going back. It's so evident what this whole change has done for you: you dropped more than dress sizes... the chains are dropped, the heaviness, the self loathing, etc.
So many reasons to rejoice and to think there is so much more he has in store...STILL. Very exciting!!
That was beautiful! Thank-you so much for making it. It is a tribute to all you have done in the past year. It will inspire many, many more people, too, to make that first step. Enjoy this new and well earned fitness. God bless you, Michele
Dear Margene, My first thought while watching this is "I'm so proud of you", which sounds so weird since you live on the other side of the world from me and I've never met you; but I check in on your blog quite regularly and your open honestly makes us all feel like we know you. So I feel ok saying I'm proud of you. You're doing so well and it's so evident how much happier you are now. The joy just radiates in the photos right from 18 pounds lost. You're an inspiration. Much love from Australia, Kylie x
Oh Margene...I cant thank you enough for sharing this! You have really found your calling in inspiring others with your positivity and amazing results. I am so happy for you and so very proud!! This song was amazing and with the pics added it gave me goosebumps!!! Congratulations on your success. KEep up the amazing work.
I am SO happy for you Margene. I so loved seeing your journey and transformation. It brought tears to my eyes and hope to my heart. You have been an inspiration to us all. Thank you sweet friend!
