    before and during, 40 pounds down

    I can't believe I am about to do this. I need a few deep breaths! The only thing that makes me want to do this is knowing this will make me even more determined to one day take that "AFTER" photo. And also, I know everytime I see a new set of pictures I get so excited... so here's hoping any noticeable differences in me can do that for someone else. =)

    *deep breath* Okay..... here I go... this is so scary...

    Wow what a difference! The change in your belly is obvious but I'm particularly struck by your neck. Great work, keep it up and keep the pictures coming, it's always inspirational to see someone being so succesful.

                    Congrats on the loss. You are shrinking all over, but I really noticed your neck and tummy too! How many sizes in clothes have you lost?

                        the first place i gain and lose weight is always my face... and don't laugh ... but i have been doing this chin/neck "exercise." you open your mouth wide, tilt your head back until you are staring at the ceiling and then pull your mouth closed. it sounds so silly, but i guess it is helping!

                        I really don't know. When I was at 225 I stayed away from numbers. I just wore my old elastic waistband pants. Sometimes I tried to squeeze my way into size 18 jeans, but not without the old muffin top. I'm glad those days are gone. Right now I am fitting into a size 16 jean okay. I've never been smaller than a 16 in my life, so it will be a trip if I find these pants becoming too big.

                        Thanks again everyone. I feel so much better about posting the pictures now. =)
