You are gorgeous! That last photo is amazing, and looking at your face, I would not even know you may be overweight. How tall are you?

Great job, and you are an absolute inspiration for all of us!

Hey Sarina, this is a great acheivement. CONGRATULATIONS.. really amazing success so far.. Keep it up..

Re: Before and during - From 400 lbs. to 247 lbs. Not done yet!!!

Thank you Debie, Buddrfly & Shannon, you're all too kind!!!

It's been quite a journey and it's not over yet. I have no idea where I will end up (goal wise) but at the most, I have 84 lbs. left to reach 150 lb goal...and at the very least about 64 lbs. to get to 170 lb goal. I'm going to try to get to 150 lbs....we'll see where my body goes and what weight it prefers.

This last leg of my journey I have to admit is a bit of a nail biter to me....I hope it goes well (I'm going to give it my all) and I hope I don't end up with a lot of loose skin to deal with...so far it's been better then I thought.

Thank you all again, I can't tell you how much I appreciate your encouragement.
