    You are looking fabulous! I think you'll continue to be amazed after you really get going on the strength training, too! Strength training may "slow down" the scale progress, but there are SO many posters where the pics provide the proof of the body changes that can be accomplished with minor weight changes. Keep taking pics and posting them... love to see the progress.

    You are awesome!

    Looking HOT MAMA! Next time loose the sweater and use some of those black binder clips to pin your shirt to your body so we can see the new skinny you.

    Aw thank you! yeah the scale hasnt been my friend for many months, so I think Ive almost completely broken up with it. lol. At this point, I want to physically see my muscle tone ,and feel stronger. I feel like I could run 48 miles, but Id probably die if I had to lift anything. My hand surgery really set me back, but Im determined 1 lb at a time to get back to normal function. I bought my first pair of dumbbells..and even my family looks at them and says -wow-you have come so far.

    Wow , its amazing to hear other peoples stories. We are not all built the same its true. I am not a very patient person sometimes so sometimes I have to sick back and really look through pictures and remember how I used to feel, how I couldnt breathe, or sleep, or even lay down on the bed cuz it would feel like my organs are getting crushed. Health is more important than a number. Thank you for the reminder!

    Honstly its what has kept me going sometimes when I just was to soore to move, or just to unmotivated to wake up at 4:30 am to go workout. The before brings back so many memories of how crappy I used to feel. Seeing the "now" just proves to me how far ive come. Try it out :)

    Amazing job! Keep it up!

    I really need to start taking progress pics. I don't feel like I'm making a lot of progress, but I'd never be able to know by looking at the mirror each day!

    Amazing progress, keep going :)

    As other people have said, this has motivated me too!

    My best motivational quote is "Don't give up what you want most, for what you want now"

    Stick with it!

    Wow! You look great!!! In your before picutre, you look like you are approaching 40 years old.. Maybe 36-38 years old. In your after picture, I would guess you to be about 21 or 22 years old! You're doing fantastic!

    Thank you so much and thank you for being honest! :) . I do have to admit that I did notice that my skin wasnt that great and the fat on my face def made me look older. Now that my face is thinner and glowing from all the water I drink, I have been told I look younger. Ill take it! :)
