Hi all

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/Bella_Figura/view/what-a-difference-a-year-makes-556168

This is the link to my blog post, which shows a 'before' and 'current' picture, with links to lots more before and current photos.

I still have 21lbs to go to get to my ultimate goal (with a little under 12lbs to get to a 'normal' BMI) so I'm still a 'work in progress'...but I'm pretty pleased with my first year's loss!

I ain't no beauty, and some of my before pictures in particular would make great crow-scarers, but I feel that I'm finally making the best of what I've got!

Thanks for reading!
