    Congrats on the loss! SO glad you are in a healthier place, and I may get flamed for this, but I see *2* pictures of beautiful women taking care of themselves. There is more to beauty than weight. In picture one I see twinkling eyes, bright colors, and enhancing makeup, not anything ugly at all. Enjoy the benefits fitness has brought you - you have always been a beautiful woman who deserves the best.

    This!

    Oh my word! I know just what you mean!!! I wore a size 26 jeans at my heaviest. Tragic but now in a 10/12 I keep disagreeing with my friends when they pull cute items off the rack. I just KNOW they won't fit. Then they usually do and I feel completely lost like I don't know my own self. Very surreal.

    Cute story...my adopted son is very happy with us and walks around with his arm around me ready to pounce I've a guy checks me out. LoL!!! I can't imagine anyone ever checking me out, but he gets sooooo protective! It's really precious. :heart: :heart: :heart:

    I'm beyond humbled you'd say such a thing, but my flaws far outweigh my successes. You're awesome in your own way, I'm certain of it! But thank you, tears of gratitude from my heart to yours. :heart:

    WOW! Thank you so much for sharing this! I've always struggled with weight and I'm 3 weeks into my weight loss journey - my goal is to lose 105 lbs to reach the high end of "healthy" for my height. I love seeing stories and pics like yours because it inspires me to want to be able to post a journey like that myself - one day!

    Thank you SO MUCH for sharing - good for you. Enjoy the shopping!

    I'm sorry but I still can't wrap my head around inspiring anyone! But I can tell you my honest experience...I had tried before but never successfully. Not until I made a dear dear friend who wasn't catty or competitive, just positive and full of upbeat info! I learned to swap things out when I could, I learned about the importance of proteins and fibers, and she helped me feel that a bad day wasn't failure but just a momentary lapse for which to bounce back from! lol!!!

    Having a reason and drive AND a team mate made all the difference! I also have had that "before" pic as my background on my phone for 14 months! Nothing like a place you don't wanna go back to that'll motivate you to move forward! ;)


    Luv to ya!
