Photos after losing 100 lbs.

I posted this on my blog first, but thought I'd also share it with those of you who are trolling the forums. ;)

Tonight, after seeing this photo of myself sporting my new size 16 shorts, I started thinking and realized I haven't worn a size 16 since I was a freshman in highschool. I hit my 100 lb lost mark this week so a photo review is probably in order anyway!

I gained another 75 lbs after high school before finding out I was intolerant to wheat and subsequently losing a few lbs on my own. In October of 2010, I *finally* stopped eating wheat altogether and joined MFP to help count calories and track my food.

In January I was diagnosed with Celiac disease and stopped eating all wheat, rye, and barley! The combination of the subsequent weight-loss, extra energy, and new love for athletics, has me feeling as if I've been given a whole new life!

I'm sharing these with you because I enjoyed looking at these photos, seeing my progress and feeling so healthy and hopeful and thought you might as well!

Goodbye 100 lbs. ONEderland, get ready, here I come ;)

    You rock!!! Way to stay motivated. My Mom, Brother, and 2 sisters all have Celiac disease. When my brother went on the diet, he lost a ton of weight!! That's good that you were diagnosed, cuz it can definitely mess with your body!!

    Congrats on hitting the 100 pound mark! You will be at your goal in no time!!!:)

    Wow! That's intense for so many people to have it in your family! It's been not only an amazing revelation for me, but my mother as well. Health problems she's had her entire life disappeared when she realized she had it also! I'm just so lucky I found out now, and in time to help my mom!
