My mother and I began our weight loss journeys a little over a year ago. She actually began her journey in September of '06, and I was inspired by her amazing success. Therefore, I began changing my life in March of 2007 as well.
It has been amazing to have my mom along on this journey with me; we were able to support each other all the way through!
As of today, we have both lost a little over half our body weights. My mom had a starting weight of 284 lbs, and she is now down to 135 lbs. I began at approximately 260 lbs, and I am now at 125.
Here are some "before" pictures of us:

Thanks everyone!

I had to keep seeing the faces to realize that it was the same people. Congratulations to you both. That is so fantastic that you had someone to go through the journey with you. 
Now what can you say to that but WOW!! You both look amazing, beautiful, and whole heartedly inspiring.
