I had to pull out my driver's license last week and was shocked to see the picture. Was that really me 5 years ago?? It doesn't expire til 2016, but I'm thinking I may splurge and renew early! :laugh: Can't believe I'm sharing this on here...what an awful picture! I still have a long way to go (it's been 4 years so far) and it's a slow process, but it's nice to see that there has BEEN some progress once in a while!


Me at age 45 on my Driver's License (boy, did I lie with THAT weight)

72 lbs (& 5 years) later...

Hope the pix work!

    Amazing!!! You look way younger too, good for you.

    My drivers license is up in April. It was 100 pounds ago.....and I have had numerous people not believe it was me when I present it. Which is flattering but gets old after awhile!

    OH MY LORD you look like two different people. I would never ever guess you are 50?! You look amazing and so young now!! Thanks for sharing that it took four years. I have lost 40 over a couple of years. I am wondering how long will it take for me to lose the last 15? It might take a couple more years? The key is to just stay with it, slow and steady, especially for us older girls!!
