My daughter and I spent the day at the zoo and took a couple of pictures....sometimes it takes a picture to really see the difference....for good or for bad!

The first on is me, last May, with Jake Shimabukuro....one of my favorite musicians.....

This one is today, with my daughter.....I'm down a total of 50 pounds since the pic last May!

Harley! You're both beautiful! Those 50 lbs have made an incredible difference. And I'm sure you can see it, otherwise you wouldn't have posted the photos! (insert winking emoticon)

I tease, but I think that one of the challenges we have is actually recognizing our achievement. Since I see myself every day, and the change has been incrementally slow, a lot of weight coming off a very big body, I rarely feel like I look different. But I see how my clothes hang off me now, and are way too big, and I've been dropping stuff off at the Salvation Army thrift shop, so I "know" I'm losing.

Still, when people say to me, "OMG! You look great! You've lost so much weight!", I'm not sure that I believe it. Despite the scales!

Anyway, congratulations, you look amazing. And how funny is it that your daughter is a young lady - when you mentioned the zoo, I'd imagined you pushing a stroller past the lion cage...

Thanks, Fenton....yes....it is such a good feeling!

What was really wonderful is that I spent six hours at the zoo...walking up and down the hills and all over....and felt great doing it!

My "baby" is almost 16......but she still loves the zoo!

Harley you look amazing what a difference! Wish I knew how to post a picture, but I'm a bit challenged in that area.

You and your daughter are beautiful!

If you upload a picture to photobucket, it's quite easy to post them here....just copy the code that photobucket gives you!

.....and thanks for the compliment....my daughter is as beautiful inside as she is outside, too.....just a great kid!
