You look beautiful, and you look normal.  I would never know that you had weighed more if I only had that picture as reference.  Your hard work and perseverance continue to be a major inspiration to me.

Glad you like to rock those anklets, too.  I only have one, but I work it.  :)

Adorable!  I am jealous of your tiny ankles--mine are still pretty thick, and I think they'll stay that way.  OH, well.

You look AMAZING. I'm not at goal yet, but I definitely get SO frustrated with the excess skin... It's one of those, "If I didn't have all this skin, I'd be in a smaller size," or "I just look lumpy!" I have to remind myself that I've lost over a hundred pounds, I'll take some loose skin over that ANY day.

Wow, you look amazing. I love this lunch time reading. I can so relate to your post, and the replies. I have days when I feel thin, girly, and pretty, and some days...well, some days I feel like a sharpei. I understand looking at an article of clothing and thinking that it would never fit me, and then it does. I had a hard time when I looked at my skating dress for the first time, I thought that it would never fit. It still gets to me that I can wear such small things. Body image is a big thing, but I know we both have the courage to overcome that crap. Oh, and thank heavens for "foundation" garments, I spend more on those than actual clothes.
