:smile: So 2010-2011 has brought me fantastic results ! It has beeen a good year filled with hard work and determination. I woke up one morning and hated who I let myself become and did something about it. It was one of the hardest challenges to date, but it helped me realize that if I can do this I can do anything.

I thought I would share with you all some pictures in hopes to inspire others just like those who have inspired me.:heart:

Christmas 2009 195

I want to thank all my MFP friends for their support this year ! But don't worry, you can't get rid of me yet. I have set my goal for this year and am ready for a new challenge! I am also here for any of you for support. I like to give back what I have received!

Happy Holidays!

    Wow! you look truly amazing!!! I know you said you did this through diet and exercise. Do you mind elaborating on this a bit? what exactly were you doing with food? watching calories, carbs, a specific diet? and exercise, how much and how often and where you focusing on cardio, weights or both? sorry for all the questions, but you and I are similiar in our stats and I seem to have hit a standstill and could use some motivation to get the last 15 pounds off.
    Thanks :)
  • Great job!! you look fabulous!!

    I feel like my old self before I loss the weight. But now I am more aware of what needs to be done to maintain and stay fit :) Exercise has made my body strong. I think I am in better shape than when I was in my 20's. It feels great to be running around with my kids and my body now cooperates.

  • Thank you for posting, and more importantly, thanks for sharing your success, hard work, and commitment.
    Your photos speak for themselves. I often think of these before and after pictures as a chrysalis waiting to reveal the beautiful butterfly inside. And you emerged beautifully! Wishing you a lifetime of happy fluttering!
  • Wow! All the hard work paid off. You look great!
