OMgosh That is so hilarious! I have never thought of myself as having a "juicy bum!" LOLOL that is too funny. I have to get a kleenex now and wipe the tears from my eyes! I'll be sure and tell my DH how lucky he is to have a gal like me, that some men would drool over! LOL You made my day!

We may not see a difference? HAH! I hope that was a joke. If that is your 188lbs pic than you already look great. Keep up the good work!

Hi, all! Here is an updated pic. The last one was me at 188 lbs, this one shows me today at 176 lbs. I am 5'4" and started my journey around the beginning of July 2007 at 211 lbs. Not sure if I see much dif between 188 and 176, but I sure have had to buy new clothes! I am still 21 pounds from my goal of 155.

I could not figure out how to put this pic beside the others?! In fact, I could not figure out how to put it on here AT ALL, so a great big huuuuuuuuuuuuug to my sweet DH for helping!

HEY - LATEST PIC IN BLUE BLOUSE/DARK PANTS JAN.28/08 40 LBS DOWN!!! STILL ANOTHER 15 OR SO TIL GOAL...

Cheers & thanks for looking!
Janice

wow u look so cool !!! congrats keep up the good work

At this point I even won't comment your size. It's perfect!!!!! Honestly! I just wanted to say you are a very stylish and classy lady!

Thank you very much for your kind comments, Moonlit and Wulsk! I am surprised I look more shapely than chunky at a weight that I still consider very heavy for my height. Actually, I look similar to when I was in high school, as my weight was regularly 170 lbs. Mind you, after two kids, at least now I have *ahem* an ample bosom, shall we say. I wouldn't mind if the good Lord gave me a little more, but at least now I am starting to look more proportioned!

Another person commented on my weight loss at work today. I love my job at the hospital, and the department I work in is all women. They are so kind and supportive, I feel very spoilt! It is also helpful when I feel a bit stuck if the scale hasn't moved for a couple of weeks. Part of me says "Well, I guess this is as good as it gets" but I KNOW I can lose the rest! There is no good reason why I can't!

So thanks again, and best wishes on your own journeys!

Janice ... YOU LOOK FABULOUS!! Keep it up girl!!

love yas
