I dunno, sometimes I'm flipping through my phone and I find a photo of me I totally forgot existed and it just blows. my. mind. Who was that? I barely remember her! But, I never, ever want to forget her, either, so I make a before/after photo to remind myself where I started and how far I've come.

I think it's a good thing to remember, reflect and renew our commitment to our life changes which have brought us to where we are now -- whether that's as a 10-year vet or someone who just had their first visit with their surgical program of choice.

Show us your Before/After (or During)! Let's cheer each other on! WOO!

August 2013, a few weeks before I went in for my first surgery consultation:

Last month, running my first triathlon. (Working on about 20lb of post-baby regain, but SO MUCH BETTER than my "before" for sure!)
