    Thanks everyone. Making me blush here.

    And that pic of me in one leg of my jeans is my favorite too. Those are the largest pants I've ever owned. When they started to get too tight I realized I had to do something. That's when I got serious about losing weight.

    Thank you so much for posting this. I need to lose about the same amount and have been bouncing up and down. Need to commit to a long term effort. Don't expect to look so gorgeous, but definitely an inspiration. I'll check out your blog. Congratulations on transforming desire into action and success.

    All the things I've done to get to where I am are posted in the forums here. I linked it in the initial post. But to give a short answer, I've done a lot of walking/running. I started weight training this past August. I've done Pilates, belly dancing, and cardio dance workouts,but my favorite cardio exercise is running.

    You have done some awesome work here, congratulations!!!

    Diabetes is my big worry, and the other things that come along with it like kidney failure, neuropathy, blindness (my particular fear since I'm an artist). I'm "walking away" from diabetes and it looks like you are, too!
