    I chose a butterfly for my weight loss ticker and a caterpillar becoming a butterfly for my profile picture to represent me "shedding" this unhealthy over weight body. It represents me becoming the active & healthy person one the outside, that I feel is trapped on the inside.

    I started working hard with a personal trainer to become the lean, mean, muscle machine I know I can be. I love the saying on the t-shirt, and it cracked me up that an obviously out of shape guy was wearing it!

    This was taken in March (2011) in St. Lucia. My husband, son and I at my best friends wedding on the beach. It was so beautiful! I felt amazing, I had reached my goal of losing 40 pounds the week before we left to go. I was so proud of myself. :flowerforyou:

    Mine is from Florence, Italy on top of the Duomo, the most beautiful cathedral I have ever seen! I had gone to visit him while he was studying in Germany so he could see the city I had studied in the year before. The most amazing place and trip of my life! :smile:

    Mine was taken by one of my BFF's that came to take me out for my birthday two weeks ago! This was round one... and I had too many to mention that night, but I liked the pic and I can tell in my face that I've lost 30 pounds!!! Plus, the scarf is one of my fav new things I bought myself for the summer!!!! I think I may hit happy hour again when I reach my goal!

    This was before my best friends wedding. I was having my hair done, i was sick as a dog with bronchitis and a lung infection and im wearing no make up, not a single bit. Normally i hate my pic taken even in full make up and not sick, but this is me, completely bare and for some reason i love this pic?!

    Me at a reading. I'm a writer and I love reading my work before audiences. I think I was at my heaviest ever. And, it was at this time that I realized that I was no longer comfortable in my clothes and I started looking for ways to control my intake and my exercise.

    I went fishing 2x in one week. Passed through this old farm town and thought wow, how tidy main street was. I promised myself the next time through I would take a pic. That's my jeep in front.

    Standing atop the Golden Gate Bridge was a once in a lifetime opportunity for me. 740 feet above sea level and the winds were howling!

    It was taken last summer at the beach (I was at my "normal"/goal weight then). The weather was gorgeous and a friend and I took the ferry to a small island in the lake our city borders (the island's kind of a tourist trap in some areas, like the amusement park, but has lots of great walking trails and a lovely beach so you can avoid the obnoxious parts and enjoy nature if you want to). I hate my bikini top, it's uncomfortable, and it was hot, so when we decided to go swimming I thought, "to hell with it", took it off and went swimming topless. I'd wanted to do so for ages I, hate bathing suit tops (and bras!), but didn't have the guts to do it until that day (now I always go topless at the beach/pool). It's legal for women to be topless in public as long as it's not for sexual or commercial purposes where I live, but it's rarely done, still very taboo. I felt awesome (as in comfortable, and empowered by not caring about whether or not anyone was judging me, not as in enjoying attention, I have small breasts, definitely nothing to show off or that's going to impress anyone - there were dozens of men with man boobs bigger than my boobs there) and decided to keept it off when we'd finished swimming and were just hanging out on the beach chatting and enjoying the weather for the next few hours. Between feeling proud of myself for having the confidence to put being comfortable above worrying about anyone's sexist crap or negative opinions about me and the atmosphere being really great and having had a really fun day prior to that anyway, I felt so relaxed and was so happy when the picture was taken (it's an edited version for MFP, of course :wink:). And I can see how relaxed and happy I was in the picture, and it feels good to see that in myself.

    we went to Mackinac Island in upper Michigan two years ago to do the Labor Day bridge walk and to ride bikes around the island. it was a bumper sticker i saw on a bicycle's basket on the island. i really don't have anything against starbucks at all, just loved the picture -- plus it reminds me of a great vacation!

    Mine is from the last 5K I did in February. It was one of the best races I've ever done not just in terms of time, but also in terms of SWAG and the fact that I did it with a bunch of girls that I bellydance with. We had a blast!
