You are truly an inspiration to me. This summer I thought I was helping you with your recovery, but in actuality, you helped me more by teaching me that it's not a diet, but a lifestyle change...thank you for everything.. its an honor to have been a part of this with you and to be your mom..all my love and support aways ..I love you!

Thanks for everything, mom!!! Love you!!

You rock dahlin! I love you!

Thanks dad!!!! Love you!!!!

Many people want to believe that the answer to healthy living is something other than "eating right and exercising". I think the exercises one chooses must be something you enjoy, at least a little. Otherwise, it's impossible to continue forever. And you must continue forever.

You've learned the truth, glad you're sharing it.

I am soooo very proud!!!!!

Erin- You are such an inspiration! I definitely want to join this journey and fight falling into the cycle I saw myself falling into. I would love to know how you started and maintain your exercise routine. Thanks!

Hey! Maintaining is mostly about discipline and accountability...for me anyway. I try to exercise at least 4-5 times a week for at least 30 minutes a day. When I am able to do something like a boot camp with others, I push more because I'm held accountable to those huffing and puffing around me! You got this!

You know the Lindsey family are your biggest fans in all that you do! You are such an inspiration to so many people and to me every day! Keep up the good work and don't ever give up!

Erin, I have known your dad since college and have known you, be it from a distance at times, for many years. I am so proud of you for what you have accomplished. You are truly a very special young woman!

I have used your story a few times to encourage people I come in contact with who are struggling with weight/fitness, etc. You are an inspiration and I hope this blog goes viral.

Way to go Erin, keep it up!!
