I always said I would not do a "before and almost after" thread. I would wait until I met my goal. I always wondered why people came so far, why could they not just wait a few more pounds? Now that I am here, I can't help myself!! (for reference, I am 5'7" tall, my goal was to lose 100 pounds. I may adjust that when I get there.)
This is my husband and I, at my top weight. 252 lbs., July 20, 2011.

and this is what I look like now, 12 pounds from my goal of losing a hundred, at 164lbs., April 8, 2012.
