Everyone looks so wonderful! You are all such an inspiration!

I haven't posted my pics in a while, I haven't noticed much of a change lately but I love that you guys share, so I should too! I know how much the pics help me keep going...

I am almost 7 months out and am down 67lbs. I started at a tight size 24 and am in a lose 18 now. The best part....I have a waist again :biggrin:. Sorry for the lack of makeup with this latest pic....frankly I didn't care what I looked like when my friend snapped the pic this morning.
