    What a GREAT anniversary for you!!!! You are amazing and a huge inspiration. I think maintaining your weight loss for three years is JUST as big of an achievement as losing it 🙂

    Hope you celebrate today!

    1. Lisa Eirene

      Thanks Amber! My daily life is so “the norm” now (exercising, eating healthy) that I didn’t even realize the anniversary was coming up until I saw it on my calender (thank goodness for Google Calender reminders).

  2. Amy @ I Run For Food

    Way to GO!! Woohoo!! You look fabulous, but more importantly I’ll bet you feel fabulous. Congrats on another anniversary! Your story is inspirational. I have 40 more pounds to lose and you inspire me!

    1. Lisa Eirene

      Thank you Amy! I love being able to inspire people. 🙂

  3. Jennifer

    It’s absolutely inspiring me!! Thanks for sharing your story and for being so supportive of others trying to lose weight. I hope to celebrate my 100 lb. lost anniversary some day too! Congrats on yours!

    1. Lisa Eirene

      For years I said “It’s genetic” and “I’ll always be fat” but that’s not the truth. I changed that and anyone can do it too!

  4. Becky

    Happy happy happy anniversary!! You continue to be an inspiration and you look fantastic!

  5. Darcy

    You look amazing! Way to go on maintaining your weight loss : ). I too am losing weight on my terms…counting calories and exercising : ).

    1. Lisa Eirene

      I think that’s the winning combo to lose it and keep it off!

  6. Beth @ Beth's Journey

    Congratulations on your three year anniversary of losing the weight! it’s so encouraging and inspiring to see someone further along in their weight loss journey than I am, to show me that keeping it off can be done!

    1. Lisa Eirene

      Thank you Beth. Maintenance is doable! I may never get down to 140 and stay there, but I can manage staying under 150–which was my original goal weight.

  7. Darlene

    Congratulations!! You look beautiful !!

    Your blog is most definitely an inspiration. I am glad I found it. In the past, everytime I have tried to lose weight, I would always see everyone else eating what ever they wanted to and I felt so restricted that I would give in…cave…give up.

    Reading blogs like yours reminds me that I am not alone on my journey to lose 50 pounds and to never re-gain it again.

    Thanks for sharing so many of your personal stories! 🙂

    1. Lisa Eirene

      Thank you for reading, Darlene. I think for me, never calling what I was doing a “diet” helped a lot. The word diet implied that I was denying myself things and then I’d cave…just like you said. But eating whatever I want (in smaller portions) works much better.

  8. Laurie

    Congratulations Lisa! You inspire me so much! I look at your blog everyday and I think if she can do it so can I! (I need to lose around 40 lbs). You look fantastic!

  9. Kristina @ spabettie

    congratulations, Lisa. your story is very inspiring, especially the years of maintaining!

    Congratulations! Your story is amazing, and I would have bought a box of that magazine issue too! I wish I would have followed your blog during the time it was published, I’d totally mail it to you & have you sign it! haha! But I’ll do that when you write a book! 🙂

    1. Lisa Eirene

      Thank you Steena! You are too funny. Someday I’m sure we’ll meet. I like cheese, I may visit Wisconsin….then I can sign the magazine. hehehe

    You’re such an amazing inspiration! Of course they wanted you on their cover. You’re the bomb dot com! And, confession: seeing your picture in the magazine, I remember seeing it and reading your story. And duh, I just put two and two together! I know a celebrity! *fist pump* Keep it up girl!

    1. Lisa Eirene
