I think I have finally figured out how to use the photobucket site on how to post pictures on these message boards. If nothing shows up below, then back to the drawing board. IF they do? Then upstairs I go to my shower!

I was 177 lbs in April of 2012 ( 6 mos ago) Here is a picture of me with my grandson Brandon

May 6, I got off my butt and started dieting and working out. Here is a picture of me, my grandson Brandon again, and my husband taken yesterday afternoon.

    I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these shoes for running! Sneakers gave me shin splints but these shoes do not.. If and when they wear out (and they might, I use them alot) I will buy another pair!

    Same here! Love my Vibrams! And using my one pair everyday (workouts indoors & out, hiking, daily use, etc.) it's taken me over a year to wear down the bit of tread. Otherwise they're in great shape! don't worry about using them too much, they won't wear out on ya anytime soon! And you look great btw ^_^ Grandson is a cutie too! Congrats :smile:

    You look AMAZING!! As others have said - you look much younger now too. WAY TO GO!!

    Thanks for the info on the shoes too. I get shin splints from walking. New running shoes didn't help, so just might have to try those and see how I do. Can't hurt!!

    Oh my golly, what an incredible transformation in 6 months! You were really pretty in the first one but you now look about 15 years younger (as well as still being really pretty!). I am just so struggling to lose any weight and you photos are such an inspiration- a massive well done to you xxx
