I wasn't going to do the picture thing, because as I indicated in my "shrunk'ded" post below, I haven't really noticed a great deal of difference in me - but you know what, when I look at the pictures side by side, I see it...I have a neck!!! And my shoulders are finally wider than my hips. LOL I don't look like a pear anymore!
This is my bragging post...it's not like me to do this, but I'm feeling pretty good about myself today, so here goes... (cross your fingers that this works)
BTW - the before is somewhere around 230, the after is at 197 (last week)

I'm so glad you posted these pictures so YOU can see how much you've accomplished. You look wonderful and the progress is definitely noticeable. I'm wondering if it's great to be your own inspiration. You should be able to look at these pictures, see how much success you've had thus far, and really be inspired to keep going. I'm so excited for you.
Congratulations!!!!!!

Thank you all so much - it is so inspiring to have people make such wonderful comments - makes me want to run to the gym and work out for hours.
Someone asked how long it took - I started my lifestyle change a few days before April 1st, 2011, but I didn't start monitoring anything until April 1st. My father had a heart attack last year, and I am the spitting image of him (he, btw, is fine). What scared me most about it was that he had finally made a lifestyle change of his own about a year before, and had gotten down to a really good weight for him, had gotten off all his BP meds, his cholesterol meds, everything - then bam. And I was completely freaked out - I mean, that will be me in 20 years. So I figured I would reduce those chances by getting down to a healthier weight 20 years before he did. I don't have high BP, but I'm sure I was headed that way. I do have high cholesterol, but am hoping to get that under control in the next year.
Again, thank you everyone - this site is an inspiration, and I couldn't appreciate all the support more!!!0 -

Well done and keep up the great progress - look forward to more pics in the future!0
