This is unrelated to your fabulous weight-loss, but I just have to say that I. LOVE. YOUR. HAIR!! So pretty and red and curly, and gah! I'm jealous! I gotten over the fact that always be a boring pin-straight brunette, hehe, but I love people with more interesting hair.
ANYWAYS, moving on the important part of this thread--I can totally see a difference! It would be great it you had a shot where more of your body was showing (cuz how cool would it be to see those 24 inches?!) but like kelli32 said, if it's showing that much in your face, there must be a very noticeable difference in your physique, too. I'm so proud of you, girl!! And SO excited for you to see family members who haven't seen you in a while. They're going to be BLOWN AWAY.

Let us know how it goes!
