Well, even though it's painful to see, i've decided to post a few pics to show where I came from, and where I'm at currently. The first three are from 2006-through November 2007. Weight at least 230 lbs. probably more (didn't weigh myself much).

Last two at current weight, about 195 lbs. Still a long way to go, but noticeably better.

YOu look amazing!!!!! So fit!! Keep up the excellent work!

Definitely a big difference!! You look taller than 5'7".

Thanks walking2lose--I feel so much fitter and stronger, and I have been working out a LOT this summer, just starting to get a ton easier for me. I am trying the C25K now, and the Labor Day 5k and will keep on improving my swimming that I started also.

Julie--Thank you! No I am not over 5'7", but I have what I guess is a long "trunk". I've always wanted to be long-legged, but my legs look kinda short in comparison. Worse when they are fat, hehe! Definitely no dancer's or runner's legs!

You look absolutely amazing!!!

You look beautiful! Look at you with a flower behind your ear, hot mama! I hope you were somewhere tropical with one cabana boy fanning you with a big leaf and another feeding you grapes one by one.

Julie99--Thank you!!

mamaspank: Well, I was someplace tropical--on Kauai, but no hot cabana boy, just my DH who actually is pretty hot still even at 45. His idea to put a flower in my hair for those pics. Thanks for the compliments!

You look beautiful, you are glowing!!!!

Thank You, Lexi! I think that probably is the tan I was accumulating, but I like to think I look a lot happier as well!!

Looking good!

Nice changes! You look wonderful in your cute outfit!

You should feel very proud. You look amazing! Congrats and no turning back.

Thanks, Xeno!

Sunshower: I love your mantra, or motivational quote, or what ever it is. Did you make that up? It's great! I'm putting it on my sticky of inspiration I keep open on my computer under all the windows, so I can easily look at it when I need a push.

Banana: I like yours also--I have already posted that one on my sticky as well--it's so true!!

You look WONDERFUL!

Congratulations!

Lovely.

Congratulations and thank you for sharing here!
