It's like one of those "spot the differences!" photos. The before is from February 2012, a month before I started claiming my health and life back. And the other is from today, October 13 2012! Still a long way to go, and 40lbs on someone as big as me doesn't look like much in the mirror -- but photos do speak volumes to me.

    thanks y'all! It is a lot of hard work but it is totally worth it. It is a slow progress but I know if I do it this way it is more liable to stay this way and be a true lifestyle change instead of a quick fix that I fall off the wagon too easily. I am getting healthy for me, my husband, and my baby boy!

    40 pounds gone is a huge accomplishment, bet that little guy your holding does not even weigh that much. Just think of that much extra weight on your body now gone...keep going!
