Thank you everyone for your kind words of encouragement. I do feel great and as everyone always says, I'm so glad I started when I did. I still have more to go, but accomplishing my original goal was something I wanted to celebrate before moving on.
You do not even look remotely like the same person. I'm starting a little bit heavier than you started at, but 4 inches taller & it makes me so happy to hear that others have achieved their goals. CONGRATULATIONS to the healthier version of you.
