111 pounds gone FOREVER! I am 10 pounds passed my original "goal"! I have NEVER felt so amazing & am so in love with the new me!

HOWEVER, there is one VERY BIG problem-- I am now a SHOPAHOLIC hahaha! My hubby has decided to pull the purse strings a little tighter, because I seem to get carried away! This is coming from the girl who HATED, & I mean HATED to shop! I would get anxiety and usually cry in the dressing rooms! There was actually a few times that my husband would come into the dressing rooms to try to encourage me & keep me in good spirits- NOW, he refused to come shopping with me because I fall in love with everything I try on LOL! He says "i'm not needed for moral support anymore" & he is right! AHHH, what a FABULOUS year!

Start weight- 249.8

OMG - love your pictures - beautiful family

speaking of family - i thought this board was PG -!!!!!

what a shot of you and hubby kissing :wub:

hmm, luckily boys weren't peaking

look at you now girlfriend - whooo whooo -

"DYNAMITE" as Jimmy would say

(anyone who says "Jimmy who" i will scream and pull my hair out) my age is showing

i would also get upset trying on clothes, usually i would buy stuff and take it home to try on, then DH would make the returns

Luv going shopping now - but DH made me join Shopaholics Annonymous - maybe we should meet up

what a great year you've had

may each and everyone of the following years get only better and better

You look incredible! I was the same starting weight as you. I have lost 28 lbs including pre op. one week out from surgery. I can't wait to get to where you are! You look so great!

Same here! I started at 249 and am 5'5". Three months later i'm 203. I may be considered a slow loser, but I see every pound as a victory and one I'll never see again.

OP: you and your family are beautiful!!!! Congrats.

You look absolutely beautiful!! Congrats!! I'm half way and hope that I can make my goal in the next six months!!

You really look wonderful! Good for you!!!!

You look absolutely beautiful and your happiness shines through! What a beautiful family!

Wow you look great!!!!
