Apples! Thanks so much for sharing the pictures! You're a gorgeous lady!

And that's a GREAT weight loss . . . congratz to you! I can't wait to lose more of my "double chin" . . . it's getting there!

To resize your pictures, do you have a paint program? I think one usually comes with computers (I'm not a computer person so not 100% sure) . . . something called Paint Shop (or a similar name).

Grats again beautiful lady!

Thanks Jax!!! I really love and appreciate all of you! It feels really good to be down some pounds when I havent see the scale move in ages!!! LITERALLY! LOL! I Just really wanna keep it going and no stopping! I know the weight loss will slow but let it slow after my first 100 ... I really wanna be down 45 more by June! I hope I pray! At this point I will be happy at 200 pounds and I am a tall girl so ... it wounldnt look as bad on someone thats 5'9 1/2 rather than 5'2 or 5'3 ... LOL but me and my hubby are going to Cancun for our anniversary in June and I wanna look good!!!! GOOD GOOD! LOL ... Maybe a cute bikini ... I dont know but thanks for the love everybody. We will all be victorious come this time '09!!!
