    The one with the yellow shirt was taken in Italy in 2008, one month after I retired, I weighed 133 there. The one with the green shirt is from 2009, I was up to 140 there. When I started at MFP last February I was up to 143. The one with me holding the camera is from December 2011. I'm 115 in this pic.

      My personal body favorite is italy! Your face looks younger at your lightest weight. You look great no matter what!
      I can't wait for the day I'm back to my healthy weight. You just become an even greater inspiration for me!

      You look smokin'!! I just started MFP because I'm up to 143 lbs. and it's not flattering on my body frame (small boned, 5'4"). You are an inspiration! Keep up the good work!

      You look so amazing! You look like you've gotten younger rather than aging over the last couple of years.

      I lost some of my curves when I lost the weight. I wish that hadn't happened but I am working on toning now and hope to get a bit of my butt back (never thought I'd say that!!).

      Wow, you look great. I would have to lose 85 lbs just to be where you started. You inspire me!
    • Posts: 363 Member
      Gee, thanks everyone. I didn't feel good at my top weight, felt heavy and not at all happy with myself. I guess its all a matter of perspective............

      I guess I like women with a little meat on the bones because I love the way you look in the middle one! Either way you look great in all 3 and it is really about what makes you happy so rock on!

      Yes, I am very lucky to be able to retire early. Life is good :)

      Just an fyi.....my goal weight was 125. Once I went on maintenance I dropped an additional 10 pounds. I've been at 115 since November so I hope I'm done losing.................

      Now you sound like my husband..................he liked me fine the way I was, but I wasn't happy. Now I'm happy and he's adapting :)
