Letting it all hang out

I've created a slideshow of pictures of my weightloss over the last year and a half. My husband took the pictures while I was in my underwear so that we could really grasp the changes in my body over time. Some will say it is brave of me to "bare it all" on the web, but I think the pictures are an important part of inspiring myself and inspiring others in weight loss.

And since I'm recently married, I couldn't help but include pictures of me in my wedding dress when I bought it at 250 lbs and when I had my first fitting and at the wedding at 220 lbs.

I hope someone somewhere can use this blog as an inspiration to either start or continue his or her weight loss. This has been a crazy roller coaster for me, and even though I've been at a plateau for the last 6 months with my weight, I look at it positively. I've learned what it takes to maintain my weight which is just as important as losing it. Now, once I reach my goal weight, I'll know what I need to do to stay at that weight, which will ensure I keep it off in the long run.
