"I was a size 20 when I started my weight loss journey. I'm a size 4 now (and still can't believe it!) Next goal: compete! I wanna be in the Women's Tri-Fitness in 2010!...and do an unassisted pullup...whichever comes first. HA!"

This was taken at a business meeting. My skin is so full of all that bodyfat that it looks like I'm about to explode out of it. This was the beginning of my recognition that things needed to change.

I think my smile says more than the scale ever could.

When this was taken, I looked at it and realized I had a problem. I was smiling on the outside and crying on the inside.

This was the final straw. Taken with my mentor, I stood next to the man who taught me so much. This was a lifetime goal to meet him...and I looked like crap. I was up to 2 packs a day, over 200 pounds, and decided it ended there. How could I show my mentor how much his teaching meant if I looked like I'd checked out of life physically???

My husband and I started Body for Life on 9/17/2007. I will never look like this again.

My old headshots were taken at a time in my life when I didn't want to look at pictures of myself. I settled so often. I jumped at the chance to see myself in a new light when the opportunity presented itself!

I was so excited to take this shot. Halfway to my goal weight! 35 pounds lost! Woohoo!

Never, in my wildest dreams could I have done this before. I was so excited and this was only the halfway point!

Looking back, I can't believe how much I let myself go. I looked like I'd checked out of life entirely.
When I compare this pic to the very first one, its the most telling. To me, anyway. :)

Each day just seems to get better. Or did the cheesy grin on my face give that away already?

I never thought I'd see the day that my belly was finally flat. There's still a lot of work to do "behind the scenes" but I'm on a mission and won't stop til I get what I want!

I'm so happy with my progress to date. Each day I get closer to my goals and I LOVE it!

Taken shortly after a workout. I can't recall having EVER had a muscle I could see in the mirror before! WOOHOO!
