    Looking through my cousin's Facebook, I found some pics I'd forgotten about. It was a heck of a time for me! It's amazing to see how far I've come health-wise, both physically and mentally. 2 years ago I didn't care about anything and now I do. My personal life has improved, my work life is better and my health is unrecognizable compared to 2 years ago. I feel like there was this gray veil over my head before; I was quite numb. It's like everything is in color again.

    I had to make the choice to change. I am not happier as a thinner person, I'm happier because I chose to make positive changes in my life. The thin happened as a result.

    I'm fairly certain I was larger in these pics than what my starting weight says; I'd gotten a little smaller before I got here. :)

    I'm in the black and white dress and cardigan.

    And now more recently:

    Because I changed the way I ate, which was a diet that no longer supported staying at a larger size, I am totally healthy the last time I had bloodwork done.
    I love this!! Well done.

    But I have to ask -- it looks like you've avoided the dreaded loose skin -- how?

    I realize I never answered this and I really meant to.

    I haven't avoided it; I carry the majority of my weight in my belly, so my clothes cover the not-so-pretty parts of my weight loss. Even when I was 245, I had skinny legs! You can see that in one of the before pics where the wind was blowing my skirt around. That last bit left on my ticker is all there in my midsection! I'll never have a perfect belly unless I pay a doctor for the privilege. Unless I start having issues with it, I forsee having my loose skin as a battle scar that I'll be happy to carry. :)

    It is stories like yours and the wonderful before and after pics that make me believe in doing this. I'm not super heavy, but the challenge is there and it takes lots of dedication and hard work. Congrats to you!!!
