Pam, that is a wonderful feeling to have when you are no longer afraid of the camera. I kind of felt that way this year. It's when I actually see the picture that I will know how I really feel. Clothes are great!! Gretchen and Sarah had to insist that when I was losing to get new clothes, because I was having such a hard time seeing the weight loss. It helped so much. I finally go rid of my "big" clothes. Also, that does not give me pemission to gain back weight. I'd have nothing to wear if I did.
I'm so happy that you are proud of yourself, cause we certainly are proud of you!!
Kimberlie, geez, my brother sounds alot like your grandmother. He has consistently gave me a hard time about my weight since I was a teenager. Just have to ignore the "poison" people in your life. You have accomplished so much. Don't let her take that away from you.
