Sharing pics..hair highlighted and comparison to last yr

I just thought i'd share a few pictures.  I went and got my hair cut and highlighted this afternoon..so i wanted to show somebody..LOL

Also..i had my 40th birthday last year in August...and found a picture from that party.  I had already lost about 88 lbs in that picture..but i thought i'd compare that picture..to me last night...one year's difference. 

I got a great compliment today..the lady at our post office told me I looked incredible..and was shocked to hear i was still at 203 lbs..her mouth dropped open..and she said 'i have no clue where you're hiding it at..but you don't look over 200'..I was so thrilled!! LOL

Ok..on to some pictures..

August 2010..my 40th bday..minus 88 lbs already..
and last night..weighing 203 so far..and my 41st bday is a few days away..


Oh..and may i add..that the jeans i'm wearing in the pic on the right (last night) are a size 17 Juniors..   Can you believe i bought a pair of jeans from the fricken juniors section!! I usually wear a size 16 women's jeans..some 14's..but man..i'm so happy!!



Here is me before today's haircut and highlights..and the one on the right is me today..
I sure hope I've reversed the clock a bit..and don't look like an almost 41 yr old..LOL




and here's a behind pic from last night..showing off my toosh in those new jeans
from the Juniors section!! LOL

Cute cute CUTE girlie!! 

Thank You!! I could not be happier!!

You look great.  You must be hinding it cause you don't look 200.  Congrats!  How do you do the split post?

Well thank you!! I was so thrilled to see how shocked the postmaster was to hear i weighed 203..so happy to hear I at least don't look it!! LOL

I have a program i use to put my pics side by side..if you ever want me to do that for you..send me a message..and I'll give you my email and I'll do it for ya!

what program  do you use?

Lookin good.. MUST be hair highlighting season or something.. got mine done this week as well!! 

Blonde suits you well.  i wanted a dramatic change too, and having naturally dark hair i always stuck to reds.. but this time around i went a step up to a golden blonde.. much darker than yours but it's definitely noticeable! LOL 

Well you can see in my pic of me from last night, in the black shirt..that my hair was a bit darker.  I wanted blonde highlights..and boy did it really lighten it up! I love it though   I was ready for a change too. 

OMG.. you do not look 200ish.. at all!! I can see why that lady said that. AND please do not be insulted..but the first 2 pics I thought it was your and your mom on the left..honest!! What a difference ..looking sooo much younger too!!

I can FEEL you are a spirited gal..and it shows!!

It took YOUR commitment and work..congrats!!
