      Beautiful! I love that you posted the change in your fitness (mile per minute). It speaks volumes to how your heart feels about this! Good for you!!!

      Thanks, everyone! I do feel amazing and I can't believe that I'm the same person as I was a year ago.

      Someone asked me about my arms. I've been doing LOTS and LOTS of toning with my arms. I do enough weight so that I struggle a little, but not enough to be really difficult. A major one that has helped is doing my triceps. I use 20 pounds of resistance, hold my arms above my head and drop my arms back behind my head and back up. It burns, but it gets the job done!

      Not only have I lost the weight, but I've improved my fitness to about 200%. That's the thing I'm most excited about!

      Thanks again to everyone for your comments. Can't wait to post my final pics!

      Congratulations you look phenomenal. I'm just starting this journey and decided to read some success stories. You have every reason to be proud of what you've accomplished. Keep up the work and you'll reach your goal.

      Me again. I hope you don't mind me asking about your arms and lifting weights. I assume that this has helped you tone them up. It's the one thing I worry about. I'm too heavy now, but I worry about being thin and all flabby!
