DH and I just recently got portraits taken of us and our family.  After skimming the other pictures of me on his Flickr account, I’ve finally realized how much weight I’ve lost, not only on the scale, but visually as well.  Sure, you see the numbers and get excited, but actually seeing the results is the payoff for me.  I seriously need to get back into my exercise routine.  I’m terrified of ever getting that heavy again!

Here are before and after pics so you can see what I’m talking about:

This is me and my daughter Simone summer of 2007 when we went on a hike around Lost Lake near the foot of Mt. Hood:

This is me after losing almost 70 pounds, taken on February 28th, 2009:

You get the added bonus of seeing my handsome hubby!    I’m hoping to have more pictures this year that will make the above portrait seem fat as well.    If I can lose another 65-70 pounds this year, I’ll almost be to my goal weight!  Exciting!  Half-way there.  Woohoo!
