This part made me chuckle. :-) GREAT NSV!! Happy for you...and your dog. :-)

How WONDERFUL!! That is a GREAT NSV...and HUBBY did it, which is like icing on the cake!! Doing my happy dance for you!

WOW Laura!! Amazing. You don't even look like the same person. And, more importantly, you are keeping it off!! I wish you a speedy recovery from your surgery!! (Hope no typos. I don't have my glasses on)

Love side-by-sides for this VERY reason. The scale doesn't show the entire story. CONGRATS TO YOU!! Looking for updated pics when you post again.

Even at halfway--what a HUGE diff. I am sorry you were so hurt after the pic with your family...but it got your butt up!! And starting!! So, in hindsight, it was a good thing. GOOD FOR YOU!!

Wow. All I can say is WOW!! What a change--and you are BEAUTIFUL!! I remember my first Zumba class. I went to a Zumbathon. I didn't realize a Zumbathon was a marathon for Zumba!! I couldn't talk/drive when I left. Just too exhausted. Glad my husband was there to drive home. That was a Saturday. By Sunday afternoon, I was…

Wow, big change. And it was great that you added your medical stats at the end. Those "new" levels are NSVs!!! YAY YOU!!!

Good job--and you look GOOD in red!! Congrats!

WOW!! That is just GREAT!! And you look like such a happy mom. CONGRATS TO YOU!!

Love the pics-especially the automated ones! And what a GREAT job you have done so far!!

Great job...and wishing you success all the way to your goal. :-)

Wow, you have done such a GREAT job!! Luv how side-by-side pics can inspire!! CONGRATS!!

I know that had to be scary for you MIL to be there for 2 days waiting for someone. :-( But, I agree, moving her to her new place is burning come calories. Lots of pics, but I think that helps US to be on the journey with you. I am so glad you have such a supportive wife. And you have done such a GREAT job. Keep it up!!

88 pounds and 10 pants sizes!! The title says it all. You look good. And I like the shirt you were wearing in the first pic, also. :-) You are doing absolutely great...KEEP IT UP!!

Nice writing style. I smiled several times. But great results for you. You look great. And CONGRATS for riding again.

Complete transformation...and NO WAY do you look 190. You look closer to 140 than 190. What a fantastic job you have done so far!!

Wow!! You just look...GREAT!!!! Fab job!

Are you able to swim?

Great pics. They REALLY show the transformation. WOW!! Congrats!! :happy:

Really nice writing. I felt I was right there with ya during this journey. And LUV the body scan. I wouldn't mind having something like that for myself. GREAT JOB!!

Wow, big difference. And it is very noticeable. Keep up the GREAT work!!

WOW...GREAT job! You look fantastic. And I like that you also believe in weight lifting. Great job.

Wow, what a change. But you said something that I REALLY like: "That's one thing I lost - the ability to talk myself OUT of changing my life. I lost the mind frame of 'someday' an gained the attitude of 'now or never'. Never heard of that before--and that is something that should be copied for motivation to others.…

I don't know how to post the pics here. Seems that it should be "url" instead of "URL" or something like that. Can't use capital letters on something. Anyway LUV the side pics--with the six packs! Congrats!!

Wow, HUGE diff!! Keep up the GREAT work. CONGRATS!!!!

Wow, beautiful story. Very inspiring. I could almost see your smile in a couple places. I am so very happy for you...and congrats on what you have done so far!

Also there is a MFP member that gives really good recipes once a week. DerekHowes So far my fav recipe from him is the Chicken Pot Pie made right in the crock pot.

Thanks for sharing your inspiring story. That is amazing! YOU are amazing!! You look good. And I agree...better loose skin than a fat suit!! CONGRATS!!

That's a great NSV!! YAY YOU!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWW!!! you look FANTASTIC!! What an inspiring post. And a HUGE congrats to you!!
