You are all so sweet. Thank you so much. I hadn't logged on here in a few months (been so busy!!), and I completely forgot about this thread and happened to just go to the Picture Album forum and I saw that mine was on top of the list since someone had recently responded.
My exercise of choice is running and I do pilates. Mostly running. As far as food goes, I try to stick to a low fat diet and stay away from fast food at all costs. I have, however, always allowed one "cheat night" a week... usually Mexican food on Saturday night. It was my saving grace honestly.
Unfortunately since I have been so busy with work and school, I have gained about 10 pounds. Things will slow down in a couple of months and I cannot WAIT!!
Although I have gained 10 pounds, I am still at about the same weight I was in the pictures posted above. Life is great. Thank you all again so much for the kind words. It really put a smile on my face as I read over all of this since I completely forgot about this thread.
