I generally put off posting progress pictures because I tell myself I should wait for some 'momentous' occasion (100 lbs. lost, maybe, or onederland, though I missed that window), but that's just kind of stupid, and frankly, I could use the reminder today that I actually am making some progress. So here I am, with pictures.



For larger (just what we need, right??) versions of any of the above:

Nov 2004: 245 lbs
Oct 2006: 215 lbs
Jul 2008: 190 lbs
Jan 2009: 179 lbs
May 2009: 165 lbs
random close-up from this month

It's taken almost three years to get this far, but it's definitely worth it. I'm between a 14 and a 12 right now, which is smaller than I was in high school, if you can believe that, and I'm sure you can. I think I weighed a little less in h.s. (around 160), but I wasn't even close to as toned as I am now. Doing yoga regularly has made a tremendous difference in the way I look in just the past five months. People are really commenting lately on the changes, which is weird, but kind of cool.

wow! what an amazing difference! good work. i'm glad you didn't wait for a "major" milestone, cause this looks pretty major to me!!!

Congratulations! I firmly believe that the more slowly it comes off, the longer you will be able to keep it off. I doubt I'd have the patience to take three years though! Kudos to you!
