Well wonders never cease! I did it any way folks, this is one year out....can't wait to see what next year brings!

Post baby 4/2010. I was around 250 here.

I can't believe I only have 9 pounds til goal. I've been heavy as long as I can remember. I remember being 12 and weighing 20-30 pounds more than I do now. So happy.
