I started this journey in February 2009 at 190 (well atleast thats the highest number my mind would absorb) and now sit between 115 and 120. I had to find a picture to scan that someone else took because I normally didn't take any pics of myself for obvious reasons. Well here goes....I am the bleached blonde one....

You look amazing!!!

Way to go!!!! You look terrific, what a wonderful way to start your new year...nice and healthy

Wow what a transformation!!!!!! You look stunning!

Thank you all so much. The worst part of this, I never thought I looked fat. I always considered myself to be "chubby". Then mom gives me this picture and I about flipped. Its no wonder none of my co workers recognized me when I transferred to a different center after losing weight. But now here I sit at 45 and am amazed at how different I feel.

Holy crap, woman! You look outstanding! Way to go!

You look young, fresh and GORGEOUS =D

Fabulous work! Thank you for sharing!!!!

Wow, that's amazing! Almost eighty pounds in less than a year is impressive! You look great.

Wow! what an awesome job you have done! You are absolutely stunning! Congrats on all the hard work!

Beautiful!! Congrats

Way to GO!! Thanks for sharing your photos - they gave me the little boost I needed today and showed me that this is doable!

Oh heavens! I can't believe I am not the only one out there that never thought they were fat! I look in the mirror and don't see it. The pic in my avatar shocked me but one my mom took of me holding her dog had me stunned beyond belief!

I can see why they didn't recognize you. It really is a big change. No way do you look 45 btw! Share the awesome awesome skin secrets please!

Well done! You look terrific! Thanks for posting the pictures; they really show how far you have come and are inspiring. What a gift you gave yourself this year!

Cheers,

Amazing! You look fantastic!
