Bathing Suit Progress Pic After 48 Pound/12 Week Loss

I still have a long way to go-- I'm only 40% of the way to my goal-- but I'm really starting to see some progress.
This is me, today, after losing 48 pounds in 12 weeks:
Unfortunately (fortunately?) I don't have any "before" shots of me in a swimsuit, but this is me 3 days before I started my diet.
I have been exercising 60-120 minutes every day and this 50 year old chick is feeling SO incredibly fit!
I have been taking 3-4 Zumba classes per week and spin and cycle virtually every day.
My blood pressure has dropped from 145/88 to a consistent 123/72.
And guys have started looking at me again...! (I'm in a committed relationship, but it's *still* nice to get checked out...)
Most women probably wouldn't be ready to post a bathing suit progress pic with so much left to lose but I figure I've worked hard and "improvement" is still "improvement," no matter how you slice it.
My goal (which I *will* hit) is to get back to a size 10 again. I figure that will require about another 70 pounds of weight loss.
And I know I can do that.
Thanks for stopping by!

P.S.: Check out some of what I've been eating! (Most are my original recipes.)
Yum!
