Wow, what a difference, nice going!
I know exactly what you mean about feeling like you weren't fat. I had/have the same thing! I was always skinny when I was younger, until my 20's so I didn't feel fat, even though I was. When I saw pictures of myself last year I didn't recognize myself. I don't even think I look like the same person. one of these days I'll find a way and post my before and afters. Maybe when I get to the last 15 before my ultimate goal.
I also have to lose that much before Christmas. 7 pounds. Grar!
