Default 100 pounds gone as of today!

Hi everyone! It took nearly two years, but I hit 100-pound loss today! Thought I'd add a few pics to the album:

The first pic (top) is of a co-worker (left) and me at the Hard Rock Cafe in NYC, when we went on vacation in June 2006. On the bottom is me with the bull on Wall Street.

The second is me, today.

The third is me, again, today.

The fourth is me, today, in my old jeans...when I started this weight-loss journey, I didn't wear jeans, so I had about 40 pounds gone already when I started wearing these.

The fifth is me (yep, today!) in my old uniform cargo pants. They are size 52, and I used to have a tough time getting them on, had to hold my breath to button them up! I am now down to size 36. I call this pic a "diet pill ad pose" because it reminds me of those ads you see in magazines for those "miracle pills"!

Thanks everyone! Shrinkin, I just count my calories, eat more fruits and vegetables and healthy foods than junk (but I treat myself sometimes!) and exercise everyday! Took longer than some people take, but I figure, slow and steady wins the race!
