If anyone is lacking motivation, or haven't hit their stride in a while, go check out the post Erika wrote. She just hit the 100lbs lost mark, which is an incredible accomplishment. She writes:
Here is what a year and a half of grit, tough love, blood, sweat, tears, and 100 pounds off my shoulders have taught me:
- There is no magic pill (sorry, Neo), no perfect shake, no fad diet, and no “quick” fix to substantial lasting weight loss. This is probably the most devastating thing I had to accept early on. It’s a whole lot of blood, sweat, and tears (blood coming from my crazy rages during food cravings, of course).
I think to see first hand the absolutely stunning success that Erika has earned, each and every week at Frisbee , has been the single biggest source of inspiration that I have had since starting this whole fitness thing a few years ago. She has been a grinder, working her tail off each and every day. She reminds me why I run, why I sweat and why I crave to go out and pound some pavement.
Go show her some love at her blog, she's earned it.

Jon- I am so humbled by this post! I can’t tell you how much you and Ellie (and family) have inspired me in the past two years. Your dedication has motivated me more than you’ll know! Thank you so much for being such a great support system and an even better friend! Tons of love to you both!!
