    Wow, thanks everyone for the motivation and kind words. I'm truly touched. Just an interesting tidbit, the before picture are circa 2011 when I was 29. I am now 33, but I definitely feel better than I did when I was 29.

    You look great. Congratulations.


    ...I'm sure offended by the amount of back handed compliments on here. People you can just say nice things. A lot of this was unnecessary. She looks absolutely beautiful.

    @erojoy Thank you for sticking up for me. That being said, I am just fine with what people are saying about my transformation. It's true. I look and feel younger. I am glad that it shows them what weight loss and a healthy lifestyle can do for you. In that top left picture, and you can see it my face, I was struggling to hold myself up in a squatting position. That picture and the one below it were both serious wake up calls for me. I hated the way I looked but more importantly I hated the way I felt. They were an impetus for change. I was tired of hearing, you have such a pretty face if you just lost weight you would be beautiful. I purposely chose those pictures because I really did look terrible in them, no pretty face, ya know?. I struggled for years with my own sense of self-worth. It is only now that I am comfortable about talking about how I used to look and feel. That 319 pound cocoon is coming off slowly but surely and underneath there is a butterfly waiting to emerge. It's nice for me to hear that people really see a difference. I find it very encouraging.
