I haven't posted in a while. I used to find these kinds of videos really helpful, so I decided to chronicle my own journey through this process. Here's my 10 month update-- I've now lost over 100 pounds!

I also included some before and after pics!

Woo Hoo! You look great! Congrats.

Love the shirt in your after. I rode Ragbrai 13 oh so many years ago. I used to live near Spirit Lake / Okoboji and my brother still lives in the Cedar Rapids area. He rides Ragbrai quite regularly.

Congrats! You're doing awesome!!!

Thanks, ladies! And yes, RAGBRAI is such a blast! I only did a couple of days this year, but I'm going again next year for sure. I love the Spirit Lake area-- my grandparents had a cabin on the north shore of East Okoboji for many years.

Ah, yes. My Grandpa had a cabin on the South shore if East Okoboji. We are going to be staying in it for a reunion at the end of July. I love that area, but it is so funny explaining to people that there is a resort area in Iowa. They just look at me like a confused dog turning their head ... Huh? Really? Iowa?
