Sorry it's so small, I am not sure how to change that without it being too big to see. you can follow this link to see the full image. http://s733.photobucket.com/albums/ww337/D_Jagar/?action=view&current=progressphotos.jpg
Anywho, here is my story

The first photo was taken when i was very pregnant (although I am not sure when) and I got up to 256 lbs by the time I was 40 weeks. I had my son, who had a heart defect and had to stay in the hospital. So I pumped breast milk for about 3 weeks, which caused me to lose about 14 lbs. After I lost my son (due to his complications) I became depressed for a few months. When my husband and I decided to start trying for kids again, the doctor told me it was too soon, but I should try to lose weight in the mean time. At that time I was down to 236 lbs. (Second picture) The last picture is a year after I lost my boy, with 40 lbs down altogether. I still have a ways to go, and it has been slow, but it is coming off. This site has been so encouraging to me that I just wanted to share. Hopefully by this time next year I can put up my final pics of 100 lb loss!
