You look fabulous! You give me hope that I will make my goal, since our starting and goal weights are similar. Can I ask what size you are at this new weight? Thanks for the inspiration.

i am a size 6 in jeans, a medium in undies, a small/medium in shirts, and my bra size is schizophrenic. i've been wearing good sports bras lately because i can't figure out what bra size i will be for more than five minutes.

another interesting photo set: the first is me at Halloween 2006 (flapper), the second is me at Halloween 2008 (pin-up girl). i've posted this set on the YBB forum here, so pardon if you've seen them before. the difference, i think, is ridiculous.

i also look gross in both of these pictures, so don't mind that. just look at my adorable boyfriend in picture #2!

Nice work on the tat on your left arm. Got a link to the artist's website?

I have a half sleeve on my right arm and have always felt lop sided and wanted another on my left but it took 9 hours to do the one I have I don't know if I could go through all that again.

his name is Seth Wood, and he works at Fun City Tattoo in New York City. he is AWESOME.

Ggood job. I hope to get there one day!

my boyfriend has been extremely supportive. he's even lost 20 pounds by not eating fast food! and yeah... i'm more flexible now.

it took about 6 months spread out over a year... for a few months at the beginning, i was losing, then i gave up for a while, and then i pushed through to the end. go me!

You look gorgeous! I hope I look half as nice when I'm done!

I agree! WTG girl!!

I was looking for a new exercise program. Thanks for the info about Yoga Booty Ballet!

I just realized I never commented on your thread. WELL, anyway, you look fantastic and I've always thought you were BEAUTIFUL! You have very distinctive facial features and I love your glasses. You've also made quite a transformation... I had to squint at the "before" picture to make sure I knew which one was you.

i'm at work right now, but i found an even better (worse?) before picture on my computer at home. it's closer up and made me cringe a little.

thanks for all the positive feedback, dudes! it really makes me feel good about myself and about the hard work i put into this. i actually got a "double take" the other day from a construction worker (who was pretty cute). yeah. i strutted away so he could see my nice butt.

Wow, your belly looks awesome girl! Congrats on your loss

What an amazing transformation! You are a true inspiration, and you look fab Cute BF too.

here's that picture i was talking about. i took another picture just now wearing a gray tank top to really illustrate the difference.

in the first picture, i'm all the way at the right.

don't mind my gross bathroom or my flat, wet hair. i just showered!

thanks for this! it's really helpful to actually see pics of someone else who's on the other side of the same journey i'm just beginning, with similar height, start and goal weights. i hope i make it.
