Default Before and after 13 months

Okay I still make the funny camera faces because I hid from a camera for years. I came across an old photo in my mother in laws pictures. So here's a before and after. Only because I remember what an inspiration some of you guys were to me through your pictures.
It may come up after and before. That is if I accomplish this at all.

I feel great and walk and lift wieghts about an hour 6 to 7 days a week, usually. I never would have thought I could do this a year ago.

p.s. That's my darling husband, been with me through think, thicker, thickest and now thin..he he he.

Default Thanks Guys

You guys have been my help in time of need. Thanks for all the support. When I wasn't sure I would make it, I'd look at how much you guys had done and were doing. This is a great bunch of people. I wish I could afford to come to the party, but flying to Cal. is out of the question right now.
