I haven't really thought much about how much weight I've lostin the last nearly 3 years. Which, has not really been all that much, but when I look at pictures, it actually is way more than I realized. So, I made a before and now picture, which is embarrassing! The first one was taken at Rockfest in 2009, and now, 3 years later, I'll be about 25 lbs lighter for this year's Rockfest! :) Which is super awesome, since I have every intention of meeting AT LEAST two of my favorite bands. :)) So, without further ado... My very embarrassing transformation... (please ignore the fact that my new photo was taken in my kids' messy toy room!)

ETA:Okay, seriously, I can usually get this stupid thing to work, but not today. UGH!!! :(

    Good for you, 25lbs is great. I would never want to know all the weight I've lost over the years. Just last year I lost about 60lbs (chemo does have another upside besides killing cancer!) but without a scale to watch my weight everyday, I gained over 40 lbs back. I gained a little back for a few months and was right about where I should weigh, then for some reason I wasn't weighed at any dr's appts for 2 months and gained over 20 lbs, so I stopped eating all junk and the next month I gained 5 more lbs. I found looking at old pictures (I'm putting a photo album together) has really made me want to stay on track. When I see what I look like in pictures all the sudden I'm not craving as much bad stuff. Enjoy ur rewards, u earned it!

    Okay, profile picture it is... One day I'll be a little less technologically illiterate.

    Oh! Good idea!!
    I've heard chemo kills most people's appetites, but after working during the oncology clinic, I've found that there are a lot of people who gain on chemo. :( So glad it kills the cancer, though!!!
