I've been working out for a while now and can really see results! I'm actually at my original goal weight, but would like to drop another 5lbs. I'm firming up pretty well, but am still far from flat abs (dammit). I'm still pleased with the results. I just wish I'd taken a photo when I started off to compare.

You look great. I have lost 12 lbs and no one notices. But I have lot further to go than you plus I am not sure how to drop 20 years!

Janna, you are so crazy! You look great. You are not fat at all and you are not old, nor do you look old!

LOL! Does that mean I'm too sexy for my Volvo? Smile

BTW, thanks guys! I've been working really hard and with dh gone there's nobody here to appreciate it! My 15 year HS reunion is in Oct (ack!), and dh will be home in Sept, so that's my motivation. I can't believe I was actually 30 lbs lighter in HS than I am now. I was a freaking rail! Of course I hadn't had a child, but still!

I was actually 20 lbs heavier when I graduated high school. I had way more muscle. Right now I am a skinny, yet flabby little woman. Laughing

I used to do ballet, won the silver medal in Junior olympics for 200m breaststroke on the swim team and avid cheerleader. Now, I should be ashamed at how out of shape I am.

Well, regardless of your weight you still look good! You ought to send a poster of this shot to your dh for that blank wall over his bunk Wink .

I've got you beat there-- 75 lbs heavier than I was in high school. Neutral I don't think I can blame all of that on the baby (ies), either. Bleh.

Sounds like a great idea, but I think it won't stay on the wall for long Cool
