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

You have a beautiful sweetheart neckline with those collarbones! What a difference - you give all the rest of us hope. Thanks so much for sharing!

WOW!!! Way to go! You look awesome! Congrats on making it to wonderland!

You look great!! Congratulations!

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.

Nancy - thank you!

Wow. I'll bet people who have not seen you in a long time would walk right by and not even know it is you. Great job! Congradulations on making it onederland.

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? :lifter:

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

:carrot: :cb: :woohoo:

You look amazing.
Thanks for sharing the pics. It is always very inspiring to see people suceeding.
I can't wait to see wedding photos. You will be an absolutly stunning bride.
