When I saw the thread title "242 pounds lost" I immediately thought, "Hah! 242 lb - ridiculous!! That's impossible!"
Apparently nothing is impossible.
Yes and I agree with a previous poster - your new look is at least 15 years younger. At least. Really an amazing transformation. I imagine all of your friends still won't shut up about it, huh!
Wow, what an amazing achievement. I am right at the beginning of my weight loss journey (1 week into the Weightwatchers programme) and your story is truly inspirational. You look fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing your experience, it will help to spur me on.
