I wanted to post a few extra photos from my journey. I started this adventure May 25 2012, and so far I have lost around 220 pounds. I have about 50 pounds to go until I hit my final goal, and I am hoping to do it sooner than later :)

    Couple of you asked if I had weight-loss surgery, I actually did not. Only because I'm terrified of surgery LOL. I met with a dietitian and worked on my diet, started exercising and about 14 months later here I am.
