Then Vs. Now

I posted recetly I amnow half the size I used to be well here are the pictures to prove it. I believe I mentioned this picture in a post a while back about me being bigger than the size of my brotherand sister-in-law put together. This picture made me cry when seeing it.  No more tears and feeling so much better about myself.  I want to thank all of you for your encouragement and advice. You have no idea how much it has meant to me knowing I have such a great support group of wonderful friends. You are all Awesome !!!!

Juanita,   Hun, this is absolutely unbelievable.....  Look at your now pic......  OMG...... 

  You have done an outstanding job and you continue to be an encouragement and inspiration for everyone around you.... 

  Thank you for sharing... You made my day.... And I know you made a lot of other peoples day too.....

Thank you Trina. I truly feel like a brand new person. I just can not express enough how this has changed my life for the better.  

J- This picture made me cry!  I am so proud of you, as ALL of us are !  When we see each other go through the metamorphosis of weight loss, and that in itself includes so much - not just the physical body changes - we all develop this attachment to one another because of everything shared...  victories, wow moments, emotional changes, clothing sizes... SO much!  Kinda feel like family around here.  You look great...  I know you feel great...  amazing!

Hey Melinda. I know what you mean I see pic's of you all and just amazed at the transformations that take place. I am so glad we are all family and here for each other.

I hae to agree _ WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You look amazing.  I am so proud of you and I know that you are of yourself also.  Just look how much ahppier you are.  MElissa

Thank you Melissa. Yea I am very proud and so much happier with myself and life in general.

What else is to be said, ditto on what everyone else has said. I have one of "those" pics that I am hanging on too for when this happens to me, if it ever does. You look terrific and are doing great. Keep up the good work. Cheryl

I have no doubt you will make this very same post and have the pic's to show us as well. Just never give up, the going will get tuff but don't ever give up !!!!!

Hey Cheryl......      I luv you hun.....  You have kept this group together ....   Including all of the obstacles that get thrown to you in life you just bounce back....  you are my kinda gal....
BR>   Yes, it will happen to you cause you are a fighter....  you are no stranger to obstacles....   Your sons only speak volumes of your character.....  No matter if you think no one else on the whole fricken planet reads between the lines.....  I do....  cause I live on your street...... 

  No one has to boast to you who they are cause they have been there when times were tough and they have been there when times were too tough to be there....  You are a class act and you can forgive them when they were not there.....Maybe work schedules. Or trying to feed their babies.  Or just trying to be there for someone that day...It cost me $67.00 to fill my tank up today but that will never deter me from Cheryl or her struggles that day or the one that guy that got up at 3:00 A.M.  just to throw around some crappy boxes only to make him feel like an idiot or a loser that day....  or the educator of society that none of us could ever pass the test of an educator.... but she is the one having to put up with your rebellious teenagers.....  She is the one that goes home at night and just figures that if she could have a potatoes chip or two then she can go out and face the struggles of tomorrow....  and be there for all of your babies....
