Default Progress Pics, In Honor of Onederland!

The before pics are so scary. I found the worst ones I could so I could just face up to how darned big I was. The pic with my fat roll hanging out is the worst, by far. Ick, ick, ick.

Before: - 290 lbs, last Christmas




After: - 199 lbs, today

Thanks everyone!

Firefly - its such a weird, wonderful thing - congrats on getting to where you are as well!

Meg - I have a collarbone obsession. I touch them all the time. I stare at them in mirrors. Who knew they were so prominent under there?

RockinRobin - Thanks! Yes this will indeed be a very merry Christmas! Mostly because I can actually tell people who want to give me clothing gifts what size I am. Its the first time I won't be spending Christmas morning wondering if the clothes I receive will fit.

SoTypical - Look who's talking! The pics you just posted recently were amazing too!

NESunshine - you'll get there! Look at the progress you've made already!

Lilybelle - you're a huge inspiration to me! Knowing that people have -done- this made it so much easier to keep going.

HRBabe - See my comment to Meg on the collarbones. I freaking love them. Strapless wedding dress, here I come.

Rosario - thanks for the compliments! Keep trucking and you'll be there before you know it.

So technically, when I started, I told myself that by the wedding, I wanted to be under 200 - but I have just over 4 months. I can't wait to see how close to goal I can get in that time.

You look fantastic! Like half the size that you were in the before pics. It looks like you've lost more than 90 pounds--you must really be toning up! Are you lifting weights?

There is also such a huge difference in your face (or maybe it's just that big smile), you're stunning!
