Hey all! I just wanted to pop in and say hi. I've been having a hard time these past couple days... my weight is flucuating just above 199lbs, so I figured as a little 'pick me up' I would post these progress pictures. It's hard to believe it... but I'm down 74-75lbs (depends on the day).
I was in denial so long about how I looked and how heavy I was and to be honest, I'm not even sure what made me kick my butt and get serious about all this... but here I am and I'm so happy.
I'm no longer too heavy/big to fit on amusement park rides, I can go kayaking, mountain climbing, running... I'm signed up for my first mud run (Mudd, Sweat and Tears 6km) this summer. I'm so much more active and everything about my life is improving because of it.
So yeah, I guess I just wanted to help myself out and others by saying don't get discouraged... I may only be half way there and stuck at the most annoying spot ever... but weight isn't all that matters in the long run, it's what you can do and how you feel that make the struggle, the sweat and the pain so much more worth it.
So hugs and rainbows aside, here's a comparison pic and remember to keep on truckin!
The pic on the right is not my highest (around 275), but it's pretty close. The middle and left pic are today at 200-203.

Thanks very much everyone... I'm all red cheeks now. :P
It feels great to be able to to get out and live an active life... that's probably my biggest take away from all this. I was able to do a quick run and then go out on a 2 hour hike with my husband and dog and I still feel ready for more. Me and my husband both have gotten to experience so much more.
I used to think sitting around and catching a good show or something was the way I wanted to be and was interesting and fun... but no way. I'd rather be out hitting the trails than in front of the tv any day now.
It sounds a bit melodramatic, but I feel like I've gotten my life back. ^_^0
