almost 100 lbs down

OMG, you look so good!!!! You look like your personality is able to shine out now with your new look to I cant believe you weigh 203 you look like your in the 150s or so, Great job.

Thanks for that compliment. I still have quite a bit of butt and belly on me - and even though I've lost 10 sizes in clothes, I'm no where near where I should be for my size. I'm 5'3" frame, it's not pretty yet. Things are shrinking for the outside towards the middle so while I finally have wrist bones and ankels and knees and collar bones, my belly is still there. I'll definitely have to get some surgery once I hit my goal weight.. planning a tummy tuck and boob lift. oddly enough my doctor said the diabetes would have contributed to the belly fat -- when the body doesnt process sugars correctly it apparently deposits them there. Oh Joy. Day 2 of diabetes pills. So far so good.

Way to go girlie! How does it feel?

It feels awesome just to be able to do normal things! Like ride a roller coaster, sit in a booth at a restaurant, be able to put on my seat belt in the car, in the airplane, be able to go MILES without taking a break, be confidenent enough to wear a TANK TOP (gasp) in public.... all those kinds of things. It's very freeing. You don't realize how much of a victim you were to your weight until it starts to come off.
