When I started this last time to get healthy I was at 330 and was using that pic as my "before". Cleaning out a cabinet I came across this pic of me from 1999 at my brothers wedding. It is now hanging on my refrigerator as I never want to be that woman again.

I have no idea what I weighed in the first pic but I'm guessing well over 350. The second is me at 330 when I started getting healthy in 2012 and the last is me at 246 lbs. I'm now at 241 but I'm waiting until I get to ONEderland for that last pic :)

    Christy, from the look of those pics, I never would have guessed you were over 300 lbs in the middle picture. You carry your weight well. I am so proud of you for taking control of your health! Keep up the good work!

    How tall are you? You look awesome for 246 pounds! I think you'd be too skinny in the 100's if thats how good you look in the mid 200's!!!!
