    Wow!!! Incredible!!! Congratulations. Your story is amazing as well. You mentioned walking to the pool with "stretch marks and bits of flub". No flub there girlie. Excellent job!!! When I was 18 years old, I weighed 129 lbs. and I found out a few weeks later that I was preggers. 65 lbs later that 7 lb. little boy arrived and I rest of the weight was still there. 18 years later, another child, a divorce, 7 and a half years of recovery (alcohol), a second marriage and I finally am down to my 18 year old weight. Never ever give up!!! You're an inspiration to anyone who says it's just too hard to lose that baby weight! You go girl!!

    Heartfelt congratulations, F&F!!! Even at your heaviest, you had a WAIST - which I've never had! Believe it or not, I'm even jealous of your 212-lb. self. And now? You look amazing. I can't believe you had the least bit of nerves walking to the pool - girl, you should have been STRUTTING.

    Totally agree. Strut your stuff!!!

    My comp won't load the pictures but I don't need them for your story to be inspirational. Tears came to my eyes while reading. I hope to one day have that same feeling. People tell me all the time "you don't need to lose weight", "you look fine the way you are" but isn't it about being happy and feeling good about yourself? I too always feel awkward in a bikini as I have not found one that fits me correctly. I always get these very unflattering love handles. Kudos to you and walk proud. Congratulations on this great NSV!! :)

    It is so true that it's the FEELING! I think it's really cool that you talked about more than losing the weight. You are an inspiration, and I am happy for you.

    That is amazing!! My baby is 8 months. I pray that in 3.5 months I am confident enough to be in a bikini (it will be August after all). Truely inspirational! High five!
