I took another picture to see if maybe the extra 4 inches I lost have made a difference and I guess they do, but minimally.. My NSV that makes me most happy, I guess, is the jeans size(s) in that picture.. a 22 on the left.. an 18 in the middle and a 14 on the right.
Mind you, I am squeezed into those 14s but with a little work they should fit me fine. Also, I bought 2 tops at Lane Bryant, one in a 12 and one in a 14/16! (yes, they carry some 12s now). I know they run bigger as they are most likely women's sizes, but still! I just need to stay motivated.. things are slowing down a bit and I'm getting frustrated. Time to step up the workouts maybe?



You're lookin good! 
keep up the good work. i am starting to take pictures now too. i need to get my daughter to take them so that she can get closer up to my body like yours.
