I am still walking around in disbelief...did I die and go to heaven? UPDATE:pictures

[OK!]

I would TOTALLY brag if I'd accomplished what you have! Many, many congrats!! I'm heading down that road myself but still have an enormous way to go; stories like this are quite inspirational.

Way to go!!

OK..here are my pictures.

at my heaviest here. almost 250 pounds!

I think this was taken when I was down about 30 pounds. See how happy I look compared to the 1st picture?

This is at a 60 pound weight loss taken last year.

Last night. This is me in my medium sized scrub top. I am telling my DD how to adjust the zoom on the camera when she snapped the picture! Anyway, the pants are the infamous 3/4 and I can't believe how big a medium looks on me.

I changed the shirt, so this is me today.

WOW! Congrats! You look great and have so much to be proud of! Way to go!

I hope that I will be right there with you in a few months!!

LOL..I just realized I could have fixed my collar! EH, I am not the most fashionable dresser.

Anyway, to answer some more questions, I DO eat potatoes. My favorite is a baked potato with a small amount of sour cream. But I don't have that very often. I will eat rice, but it is not something I cook much at all.

The biggest thing for me was cutting out my evening snacking. I used to have a bowl of ice cream while I watched my tv shows. EVERY NIGHT!

I don't exercise, and I should. I tell myself everyday I am going to start, and I don't. This weekend the weather is supposed to be in the 50's so I AM going to start walking.

As for the sugar, I should tell you that I do allow myself foods that have a small amount of sugar in the ingredients. I limit myself to 15g a serving. So, I can eat the light yourts.

Wonderful!!

And I would have that put on a t-shirt I'd be so stinking happy! I had a friend who after years of trying lost a lot of weight and threatened to wear her pants inside out so everyone could see the tag. After talking her down, she decided she'd just show everyone the tag, and flipped the band down for anyone she could stop!
