My boyfriend was kind enough to create this split image of me and surprised me by putting it on Facebook this morning. He got the date wrong, however. (sorry babe)! The pic on the left is from May 7, not July :-). The one on the right was this past Christmas Eve. Believe it or not, I was NOT at my highest weight in the left pic....I usually avoided cameras, but this was my cousin's wedding so I pretty much had no choice! I would guess I was 200 pounds even. My highest weight was this time last year at 212 pounds, size 16 (a tight one at that).

My latest weight is about 160 pounds, size US 8-10 pants...I don't rely too heavily on the scale. I'm 5'6" for reference. My next mini goal is 150 and I believe I ultimately want to be in the 135-140 pound range. Maybe I'll even dig up some full body ones (eek)!

    Wow! You look great!!!! It's nice to see someone similar to my own size. I am also 5'6" and I started this program at 181.2 and weighed 153.4 yesterday morning. I want to stay under 155 because that's where the BMI says that I am "normal weight." Ialso wear size 10 in most pants. Anyway, you look awesome and enjoy your new body!

    In the words of my almost three year old who is sitting next to me while I get inspired by success stories--"She is my friend and she is boo-tiful!"
