What 83lbs lost looks like!

For some reason, this post is REALLY hard for me to write.

I've exceeded my goal and have new pictures to share. The first set is just the typical progress pics from along the way. Then are the before/after pics from everyday life.

I'm very self conscious about the way I look now. I have a lot of excess skin. I have deep creases in my face b/c of the weight loss. I feel like I look 10 years older than I am.

I still see lots of room for improvement and will probably continue to try to lose weight, but not as aggressively.

(be sure to click on the pics to see the whole thing)






The 'before' taken almost exactly a year ago when we were in Tijuana (which is why I look so icky and sweaty... it was HOT!) The 'after' was this past weekend.






I bought myself a little present for reaching my goal... It's the necklace you see in the pics. I had it made and I'll wear it each day as a reminder of where I once was.
