This is me now compared to what I am affectionately calling "Puffy Katie." The "Puffy Katie" picture was taken in April and this is me now.
My SparkPeople program has worked so well for me. I have not had to starve or give up many foods that I like. (The only thing I am really staying away from is french fries but I haven't missed them that much.) I really needed to learn how many calories were in the foods I ate. I also have been really committed to working out at least 3 times a week. I now fit into the clothes I was wearing the last time I lost some weight. I'm not stopping here though. I got to set a new goal weight and deadline today and anything above this is just icing on the cake. (Figuratively speaking of course.) I feel so much better and my headaches are few and far between. Angelo says that I am much happier too. This is totally possible! There are good days and bad but it is so worth it! This is really cliche but it's not about a diet. You really have to have a long term perspective. I am not eating and exercising like this from this date to this date. I am eating and exercising like this for the rest of my life. No more "Puffy Katie!"

Way to go!! I'm so impressed at your discipline, I eat, eat, eat. It's starting to show, so I know I should do better -- but the ice cream calls my name!!
I actually noticed on Saturday that you were looking good -- but I didn't know where you were in your progress so I didn't want to say anything and have you be all "no, it's a bad day!"
So know that it shows!!
You look SOOOOOOO great! I am so proud of you and your sassy new haircut. Maybe you can work me out after I pop this baby out :)
