Merry Christmas everyone! I wanted to wait to post progress pictures until I was below 200 but I couldn't wait. I just got home and looked at pictures from last Christmas and I can finally see the 34 lb weight loss. I still have a way to go but I've been so inspired by everyone's progress pictures, so perhaps mine will do the same for someone else.

This one is of me Christmas 2007 vs Christmas 2008.



Next is my hubby, nephew, & me in March 07 vs the hubby and me this Christmas. He's lost 24 lbs too and he's finally under 300 lbs for the first time in at least 5 years.



Okay and last one Man my face was puffy LOL

You are looking great! Congratulations Daniela, and thanks for sharing your pic's!

CONGRADULATIONS!!!Looken GOOD

Thank you so much everyone!!! I LOVE that I found this site. It's great being surrounded by such fantastic women that share your struggles, celebrate each other's goals, share their knowledge and success stories!

My friends and family have been supportive but I don't have any close friends that have a weight problem or have lost a ton of weight. So it's hard to sometimes relate and I don't want to bug everyone with my weight issues all the time. It feels good when I can logon here and find a post that I can completely relate to and feel like I'm not alone.

I haven't shared to much of my experience and struggles on here because I guess I feel the same way, I don't want to bug anyone with my crap. So I've been mostly just reading other posts. Guess it might be time so share a little more.

Thanks for listening

Hey Daniela, bug us with your crap! It helps to read others struggles so we don't feel alone. Then you get the support to keep going, and encourage others to fight through their own crap! There's a lot of crap in the whole weight thing, isn't there?

Your pics are very inspiring. I have a full face like yours was...I noticed you lost your double chin...I SO want to lose my chubby face and extra chin. 34 lbs gone is an awesome accomplishment!

Can I say, you have a very lovely family. You look so happy together!

i can see a huge difference ..............
keep it up
