    You really look wonderful and I have to say you have a great sense of style (clothes and make-up). Most people stuggle with how to dress the "new" them but you really nailed it. I'm quessing that you work (or are trained) in a design-related profession.

    Thank you! I have always been in the photography/design/visual arts field. My love of fashion was there from the beginning but I find now it's getting easier to dress how I want and really curate my look. Plus-sized clothing manufacturers have come a long way style-wise, but getting out of plus-size and finding clothes that 'hang' appropriately for my new body is the best. at 238 lbs I was glad to just squeeze into anything. Several days I cried getting dressed in the morning and nearly decided to go to work in a bathrobe cause it was the only thing that fit! Ha!

    Awesome job! I too have just surpassed the 50 lbs lost mark. I regret having not taken pictures of me along the way. I have 35 more to lose. I did the first 50 in just over 5 months. I am 51, diabetic, and had to do something or plan on a short life span. I started at 236, and my goal is 150. Today my Dr took me off of Insulin injections because I have improved so much, I cannot tell you how significant this accomplishment is to me. I wish for us both continued success!

    Thanks for being such a good inspiration! 238 was my starting weight this year, and I'm 5'6"- I'm finding the amount I have to lose really really daunting. Great to see someone else who has had success in a year :)

    No more insulin injections? That's so awesome! And congrats on a weight loss too! :)

    Thanks! I love playing around with makeup. Gotta have confidence to wear that look out of the house though ;) Normally I tame it down a bit.
