I did not go to my senior prom. Now that I am a high school teacher, I love chaperoning prom and seeing all my kiddos dressed up. And I love to dress up, too

Here is a selfie I took Friday night. 5.67 years out (yes, I teach math) and still a size six. Life is good.

Here is a picture of me in 2007 at 340 pounds, size 30/32W. Still surreal when I see my old pictures.

I am sorry if it is offensive to ask but did you have plastics done on those arms?? They look gorgeous!!! And you have done a great job! I am just a bit heavier than your starting weight but my body looks similar to yours at your highest. I hope I can get results like that. ;)
