    Thank you very much everybody! It truly means a lot. I'm still having a hard time seeing myself at the weight that I am at now. My sisters (they are with me in the first pic) are very naturally thin - and I've been so jealous of them all my life. But they both smoke and can't walk a mile so it makes me feel great that even though I still have many lbs on both of them - that I am more fit than them.

    Running is my main form of exercise. I also walk a lot with my dog (I did 6 miles walking with him twice this week). I've been doing more hikes since it's summer time. I also do a "weight training" circuit. I make it up every other day and it varies but it generally includes some arm workouts (bicep curls, dumbell flies, chest presses, lateral raises, front raises dumbells rows etc) squats and lunges, planks, and ab work. They generally take me 50 minutes to an hour to complete.

    I am trying to eat a little better. I've always been in the camp that "if it fits within my calories - i'll eat it" and I'm still operating that way but trying to clean it up a little bit - watch the sodium etc.

    You've made great progress!!! Wear your bikini proudly woman!!!!! and if you really are uncomfortable buy a cute, sheer cover up. That way you can still show off your hard work but give yourself the freedom to feel as good as you look!

    Congrats on the wedding and have fun on your honeymoon!

    Wear the bikini. You look fine and trust me there will be a lot heavier girls wearing them and really it's all about your attitude not your size

    Becky you look great! I am so proud of you. You have succeeded at being fit, now wear that bikini. Like you said, skinny people may be skinny, but they may not be "fit". We deserve to we whatever we want because we have worked for it. And at the weight you are now, I wore a bikini! You look great. I promise you that. Thank you for your support with my weight loss, and let the 20 lb weight loss journey begin before your big day. xoxoxoxoxoxox

    You have come so far and look AMAZING!!! You constantly inspire me. More so than most I think because our starting weights are the exact same. I have no doubts that you will be wearing that bikini on the trip, and I can't wait to see how awesome you look in your dress.

    My most common exercise is running.. yes I know that's more cardio related - but it actually gets me out there to do exercise. I love races! I just did a 5 miler last Sunday and I have a 10k race I've signed up for on July 4th. I am doing the 60 mile breast cancer walk and July. I have the warrior dash the weekend I get back from our honeymoon and I'm hoping to complete a half marathon in the fall.

    Great job!! First of all you look great. Second, you can most definitely do a half-marathon, so I say go for it. It's a great accomplishment and something you'll never forget.

    Btw, I've done the Warrior Dash twice, love it! So much fun!!
