I posted a goal story in the maintainer's introduction forum, but never posted any pictures. I finally got DH to take some for me last night! The rest of the pics come from my father's public website of family pictures that have been visible to the entire world for years and years...
I have been at maintenance for 6.5 months, hit official goal at the end of August, lost a little more while trying to learn how to maintain, settled into where I am now at the beginning of October. The last five pounds I lost all came out of my breasts, so I got implants on 1/22/2009. I also started weight training in October to work on some of the still troublesome spots.
November 1992 - college... slimmest I had been in my life up to that point, only gained weight after that for the next 13 years...
Christmas 2000 - who told me overalls and short hair were good looks for me?
Christmas 2003 - I'm pretty sure this was at my high weight of 174, still can't shake the short hair thing...

Wedding in November 2006 - 35 pounds down, around 140
Christmas 2006 - gained a little back...
Christmas 2007 - the pic that made me realize I had gained more back and needed to do something...
Picture taken the day I reached goal, August 2008.
Pictures taken last night...



So there it is. Me in pictures over the last eight years. It took me a long time to decide I needed to do something, but I finally did it! I love my life now. I eat great food, I exercise, I feel good about myself, I try on clothes and they fit, I can take four flights of stairs without being winded... Love it!
This site was a big part in my final success - the support I received from the wonderful people here was invaluable! :
