    I will admit the moment you said you were 44 I had to double check I read it right. You said you thought you were younger so I looked down at the pictures and said to myself "Hmm yeah she's right. Before she looks maybe.. mid twenties and now she looks like she's in college. Amazing.. WHOA WAIT!" And take this as a compliment, you look stunning!

    Awww, thank you! I'm flattered, Meraid! Pictures can be deceiving... but I "feel" much younger since losing some weight too. With two young children at home, it's nice to have the energy to keep up with them! It's funny you mention college... when I reached my goal weight, I weighed the same as I did in college. Here's the comparison photo! :)

    The photo on the right was taken just a few days before my 25th high school class reunion. :)

    PS: No laughing at the 80's hair!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay... maybe a little. ;-)

    Never be ashamed of the 80's hair. It was the best of times!!

    A photo taken this past weekend on Mother's Day. Thank you all for your wonderful comments. They motivate me to stick with it and get back to my goal weight... plus do a better job of maintaining. Who says we have to grow old gracefully??? I plan to fight it every step of the way! LOL

    You look so healthy :) Great job

    Thanks, xsharmayne! That is more important to me than being skinny. I hope to be around for my children and future grandchildren for many, many years! :)
