Stranger's legs...Where'd these come from??? (PICS)

May 24th - Sitting on the couch, catching up on some DVR'd shows, wearing a pair of sleep shorts I haven't been able to fit into in 3+ years, legs out stretched, crossed at ankles, looked down and said (out loud),"Holy *kitten*! Who's legs are these?!?!"

Finally getting around to showing you guys! I DO NOT have before pictures b/c I haven't had on a pair of shorts in the years before starting on this journey...lol! Trust me when I say they would NOT have looked anything like these...lol!

Please for give all my background mess...lol! My coffee table is my desk...I have a very tiny house.

Good for you. It's amazing when we start noticing things about our own body and can be happy with how they look. So off those legs! :happy:

Yesterday was a day of many "firsts-in-a-whiles" ... I went running ... outside ... in shorts ... and a tank ...

And aside from my Casper-like glowing legs, I was OK!

Nice legs. But who's cigs? Hope the total health transformation will eventually help you off them. Anyway, good job, and again...nice legs.

Congrats! I love when that happens, that is soo funny! ^^ agreeing w/ the guy above- Give up them cigs! -and this is coming from an x smoker! :flowerforyou:

Thanks guys! Yes, the cigarette's are mine. My doctor and I have a plan of action during this journey. He told me one thing at a time. I'm on a roll with the weight loss right now, so in a year we will tackle the smoking. He said that if I tried to do both I would fail...at BOTH...lol. Failure is not an option. I will get there. Can't wait to be "high school healthy"!

Good for you! Congratulations and keep up the good work. I know exactly how you feel, some of my co-workers call me chicken legs now (yeah right, I'll never have those - but it still feels good to hear and they are extremely supportive). Keep it up! :happy:

Good for you, and also good for you for making a plan with your doctor to lose weight AND quit smoking. That's pretty brave, and also ambitious!

Oh, and I have a tattoo on my right foot too!
