WOW! Diane, this is fantastic! thanks so much for sharing these with us! It surely looks as if you've lost much more than 55 lbs. Truly amazing!

I think it's true after all - there's a skinny person inside us just waiting to get out!

HA!! I am lovin' all your responses!! My husband is standing behind my back saying - "See, I told you you looked that good!!!" Truly, I appreciate your comments.

Gurly - Husband LOVES it!! (A little toooo much?!?!) I am very blessed to have an extremely supportive man who stands behind me 100%. He is not threatened by me one bit. He is my biggest cheerleader & best friend. He's also pretty cute.

NJchick - My stomach still has a pooch AND it has some hanging skin & strech marks from the 3 little kiddos I gave birth to! (Are you still bowing down?!?!) I just happen to have some really good jeans that hold it all in & hide it. But, it is definately smaller then it used to be. If I were to show you a front undie picture you'd see it. But, I'm not sure I have enough guts to do that!!!! It could get a little pornographic. HA!!!!!!

And to everyone - I swear it's only 55 lbs!! But, I have to give lots of credit to exercising!! I've not only lost fat, but I've gained some muscle. This is the first time I have worked out in my life!!

I've had 3 people send me personal messages asking me to share with them my tips to success. I would be happy to & I figued I'd post them here!! I only have 2 min. right now & will have to do it a little later when I have some time. So, you'll have to come back & look for them!!
