    OH MY Goodness!! I looked at first and thought you started off as a man (the guy in the pic was dead center I didn't see you), then lost weight and became a woman. THEN, I looked again just in case and saw you in the pic too!! Either way, what a difference. ;) ROck on!


    EDIT...and then I posted and saw you changed the pic. :) That makes more sense!! Congrats!

    I just changed the first picture! Editted out the creepy cheating lying ex-boyfriend! I was probably around 250 in the first. The second picture was last week at 206 and more importantly 19.25 inches gone since July!

    Thank you so much! Funny thing is at the time I didn't think I was that big! My son emailed me the before picture yesterday. He said "Do you recognize this woman?" We went out to lunch yesterday and he said he doesn't remember a time when I was this skinny.

    This right here is HUGE! I love my kids and was heartbroken a few weeks ago when my 10 yr old punched someone because the kid said I was fat! I never thought I was that fat that he'd be teased about it but guess I was wrong. I want my kids to be proud of me like yours obviously is. Congrats!

    My boys are 21, 20 and 10. It was the 20 year old who said it. How sweet that your 10 year old is sticking up for his mommy! (Even if it means punching another kid lol) I just went through 21 years of being the fat mom at events! I don't want to be that mom for my 10 year old!

    My plan is constantly evolving. When I started here, I had no idea what I was doing. This site has soooo many tools and I have learned to use them all! I started out just sticking to my calories intake and getting out and walking. I joined several challenges on here that were long term ones. I try to burn at least 5000 calories a week, which when you are heavier like me is not as hard as it sounds! I mix it up too. I do 30 minutes of yoga in the morning and again at night. Then I throw in an hour on the bike or walking or today is ZUMBA day!

    At first I just watched calories. Then I started watching sodium. Then when I had a grasp on that, I started watching carbs....which I have evolved (the past 4 days) into watching sugars (which as a dear friend told me will help me avoid the ups and downs in energy)....

    The next thing I have to do is up my fibers and proteins! I am a work in progress....
