My Story in Pictures.

I tried that, but that's not working either. Thanks for trying to help though. I do appreciate it.

Aw, thank you all so much. I had no clue how I really looked until my hubby took the second picture and I compared them.
The after picture was actually taken last August. I lost 12 more pounds after that and before our son and his family moved in for four months which caused me to gain seven pounds from the stress. After years of living in pretty much an empty nest it was more than I could handle losing control of how things was done around here. When they moved out it was the planning of our daughter's wedding that caused stress eating, but I'm happy to say I'm back eating healthier and am down to just a pound above what my lowest weigh in was. Five weeks and a day until the wedding and I'm determined to lose at least ten more pounds.

Thank you all. I forgot to weigh in today, but last I did was down to 177.0 so I really need to have hubby take another picture. I'm afraid I'm no longer "glowing", but I sure was in that picture. Right now I'm over tired from all that comes from planning a wedding with a daughter that's not in town and doesn't have cell service where she is. She does have internet service at home, but rarely checks her email!

HeHealsMe, it's nice to have others that understand. It was our son, his wife and their two boys, so no hair spray stealing. :happy: That I could have handled since I rarely use it. More like never doing their dishes and/or starting laundry, then leaving it in the washer. Sometimes in the dryer too. Drove me crazy. The only things I asked of them when they moved in was to wash their own dishes right after they were finished using them and never start laundry unless they had time to finish before they left for work. As soon as they moved out I turned their room back into the guest room and the boys room into a storage room filled with shelves and other storage cabinets. :laugh: The other two bedrooms are ours and my "drawing room". It's kind of a play on the old room name. Yes it draws me in, but not for conversation of family and friends, I actually draw in here, surf the web, watch TV and sew.

Thank you TLPad.

Thank you hmithoff, Marks, and yobhcir.

Marks, have you lost 82#s since January? That's awesome!
