Lost 55 lbs (with pics!)

So it took me a few days to work up the nerve to post these, but here goes. At my highest in 2009, I weighed 237. My mom decided to take a pic with me and my 2 brothers. When I saw the pic, I just about cried. I couldn't believe how huge I looked in the picture, it was heartbreaking. So I decided that was it, and I lost about 20 pounds and that was about it, I stayed around 215-220. Then my husband and I decided to get our marriage blessed in the Catholic Church - MOTIVATION! And since I had never had a "real" wedding, I wanted the dress too. I went down to 189 the day of the wedding! Since then, I have lost about 7 lbs more, but I've been doing Turbo Jam, which really helped to suck everything in. I'm still hoping to lose about 20-25 more.
