Funny how pictures capture it all! (pics)
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!!
