Celebrating my Progress!

I married my best friend and soul mate on January 15, 2011. After seeing pictures of myself on our wedding day, I decided to get serious and focus on losing weight and getting healthy. I've always struggled with body image issues and my weight - fluctuating up and down, but never consistently healthy.
On January 17th I started tracking my calories using loseit.com [my good friend showed my MFP later, and I promptly switched!!] After the first month of tracking my caloric intake, I decided to add light exercise - like walking or occasional swimming. In March, I bumped my workouts up and have not stopped since. I exercise in some form EVERY DAY - walking, swimming, zumba, running [I'm on week 6 of C25K], and workout DVDs.
In the last 3 1/2 months I have changed my life around completely - no fast food, quit smoking, eating healthier...My blog has more details: http://anora13.blogspot.com/
* I have lost 20 pounds!
* I have lost 20 inches!!
I decided it's time to celebrate my current success, so here are some progress pictures for comparison [I did review the instructions on how to post, so I believe it should work correctly...however, I'm not sure of their size, so my apologies if they are giant]
