Way to go! And I love the new hair too...your current pictures look like they might be of your older pictures' daughter, or at least her baby sister. Congratulations
You are such an inspiration to me and you look great! That is outstanding to see how hard you worked and the results especially after having four children. I cannot give you enough of the congrats that you deserve but let me just say that you have certainly helped give me the kick in the butt I need and I know your children are happy to have an active mommy!
I am so humbled by all of your comments. Truly, 3FC is an amazing resource and one that should be utilized daily! The encouragement of friends that I have made on here carried me through all of the rough days and their cheering spurred me on with each little pound lost.
And, to celebrate 105lbs lost, I did something I never EVER thought I would do. I got my Zumba Instructor license!! So excited!! (I attached a picture after 8 hours of Zumba, no makeup, so tired, but so very happy... )
So, don't give up! Keep pushing towards your goals and don't let ANYONE (including yourself) stand in the way. I'm here...cheering you all on!!
(another edit and I had to post it to the top, because I felt the need to yell it from the rooftops: 100lbs LOST!!!!!!)
I finally reached my goal!! 10 months ago, I wouldn't have thought it possible, but I am now at my pre-firstborn pregnancy weight (coincidentally, her 9th birthday was yesterday). I have four children (and have had five pregnancies) and the weight just packed on. So, I haven't been at this weight in 10 (very) long years. I went from a size 2XL shirt, 22/24 pants to a medium shirt, 10/12 pants.
Here are some before and after pictures...

I couldn't have done this without God, my husband, Leslie Sansone and my wonderful friends here at 3FC and especially the Daily Accountability Group.
I'm thrilled beyond belief to be here!! I may see if I can drop a bit more, but my doctor recommended this goal weight for me. He said with my height and build, he didn't think anything less would be healthy. I still have a bit of a tummy and my legs are a bit jiggly, so I think I'll turn to firming up, building endurance and just enjoying life!
Edited to add: Here is a more recent picture at 93lbs lost! I don't see much of a difference myself, but the pants are a size 8 (different than the earlier ones) and the shirt is still the same as before (though a tad looser). Please, excuse the clothing mess, we're fall cleaning!
