Last summer - 2009



This summer - 2010 (a little blurry, but you get the idea)


BAZAAR!! What a difference a year makes!!!!  I asked my husband to take another photo, b/c I remembered the photo from last year at my highest.  It is weird to see the weight difference in a photo sometimes.  I really had no idea how much pain my body was really in until the weight started coming off.  I thought I was a "healthy" obese person.

BTW - last year I was huffing and puffing walking around the circle with the ponies, this year, I felt like "awe, is the ride over already??" BIG DIFFERENCE

Wow, what a great idea to take the pic again.  Yes, your pics sure do tell a story... I'm sure there's more to the story, but these are great. 

I realized when I took Katie to Davis this year the huge difference in my stamina from last spring.  Couldn't believe it.

Congrats, Mara.  Another huge milestone!!
                    
 Those are just amazing photos!  I'm going to have to start having my picture taken ... oh the irony!
For years I've avoided the camera - no easy feat in a Facebook, iPhone era.  Now I actually want the befores and lots of 'em so I can compare.  

Thanks so much for sharing - beautiful little one, btw!
