BUT.... I've come a long way, too (at least for me).

The above pictures just show a difference of 12 pounds. However... I've come down 25 pounds since September 4th... and 50 total from my highest weight of 306 (in March 2011).

    Right as I was getting ready to post this topic, the mail came. Inside was this letter from a minister and his wife. They were from our church; but, had moved several months ago. They were visiting her mother, though, for Thanksgiving, and came to church on Wednesday night. I knew I saw both their mouths drop open... LOL. And, they said I looked "good". But, that's all they said. Then, they sent me this. To say I was happy is an understatement. I was about to start crying. It feels good to have someone notice the work. I wanted to share this with all of you. I hope you're able to read it from the small picture...

    It's still hard for me to believe. I can definitely tell the difference in the pictures. Still can't in the mirror, though.
