I am almost 10 months out and loving lif!! I started out at 291 and I am 160 now.. I am 5'5. I am loving all my NSV's. Today I went shopping for new bras and the sales lady called me *tiny*... I looked around to see who she was talking to as it was quite a shock, me? tiny?? Anyway. Christmas was wonderful. Just a funny rather amusing NSV- My sister in law (who despises me ) her husband told me when she wasn't around that I looked "fabulous". LOL... It was music to my ears considering she a size 0---in juniors, and has never liked me because of my size...Anyway. Life is so much better at this size. I went sledding with my kids and for the first time I actually went down the hills with them instead of sitting on the sideline watching my life pass before my very eyes. Not a day goes by where I am not complimented on all my achievements. I try to exercise daily and eat right, protein first. I am looking to have plastics done soon..Hope you all have a fantastic 2013. Thanks to all of you on myfitnesspal and here on OH for your support. I love u all !!! Now for some fun pics... This is me at Christmas time 2013. With my wonderful family:)

Thank you all for your support!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today is the first day of the rest of your life!
