WOW - you could not have posted a better photo to sum up your journey - the pants say it all - where you were and where you are now - what an achievement!
Thanks so much for sharing - there's nothing like a picture to give the inspiration that those of us at the beginning need to keep on track and moving forward - it's the proof that it can be done, and that with hard work and determination, your story can be ours!
Good luck with the job at hand (maintainence) - how great that you have someone in your life to love and support you along the way - and we'll be cheering you on as well!
