Then and Now

When I started this whole weight loss thing I weighed about 65 pounds more than I do today. I was well over 300 pounds and feeling every ounce of it as I tried to live the life that I wanted. It was pretty painful (in more than just the physical) to not be able to do the things I love to do: hike, bike ride, ride roller coasters, dance, walk around the Big City with friends, etc... I am so excited with where I am right now and where I am still moving towards! I can walk 3 miles no problem, even when it involves a GIANT hill, I had to move my seat up in the car because I've lost so much weight off my back side that I was too far from the pedals and I just realized this morning that I am back down to the size I was...or maybe even a size smaller than...the last time I went to Disneyland! I believe that some roller coasters are in my immediate future! WAHOO!!!

To fully grasp the changes that have occurred...here are some pictures from then...and now!
