I officially passed my halfway point this morning with a loss to date of 51.6 pounds and an ultimate goal of 100 pounds. I apologize in advance because this post has a LOT of pictures, but I felt the need to document my success so far. I have 48.4 pounds left to go, but I have come a long way.

As far as what I’m doing to lose weight, it’s pretty simple. I eat healthy, nutritious foods, avoid excessive sodium, drink lots of water, exercise 5 or 6 times each week (I do a variety – Zumba, treadmill, stationary bike, elliptical hiking, walking, swimming, water aerobics, some strength training, and whatever else interests me that day).

So, here’s my transformation so far…

    OMG, you look like a totally different person!!! You look so much younger! And I must admit that I am jealous because it appears as though you haven't lost too much in your chest :) Mine has gone south since I started with no hopes of returning :( Congratulations and best of luck!
