Now, to me, I don't LOOK any different than I did ten pounds ago. And I am a little bloated from PMS so I feel puffy. However, these are the same jeans I wore in the last pictures (size 14) and they are much looser. But the scale doesn't lie, and neither do my measurements.
In just the last ten pounds, I have lost:
1/4" off my neck
1/2" off each thigh
1" off my bust
2" off my waist
2" off my hips
Hey, very cool, the waist/hips are definitely shrinking! All other measurements stayed the same (wrist, upper arm, and calf). I am excited to have lost almost a foot off my hips since I began this journey! And my waist measurement, 35.5 inches, is getting closer and closer to what I would call 'normal' and healthy. My BMI (at 5'6") is 30.3, which is just inside the "obese" category. In order to no longer be obese, and just be 'overweight,' I need to have a BMI under 30, which will happen at 185 pounds.

Oh my gosh!!! You have the most gorgeous figure--you lucky, lucky gal. She was under there the whole time, just waiting for you to show her off. Holy moly! I wish I had a waist and hips like that. Gorgeous!
you look FABULOUS! Keep up the dedication to your goal :)
Congrats!!! :D I think you look amazing! & now you can enjoy your vacation knowing you met that mark!
WOW you look great!!!
Looking very very great...and after all it is the hips/waist ratio that tells the story about your health.
You look so amazing!! I'm so happy for you I could just cry. And yes I'm jealous too - you have a great curvy figure. I used to have one too, but my boobs and butt took a hike and sometimes I think I look like a rectangle or a teenage boy lol. But I'll take being a rectangle any day over 230 lbs. Keep it up sister, you have no idea how inspiring you are!! Have a great vacation with your kids.
Lovely photos, especially the subject. Congratulations on your amazing progress.
Your journey and how you have worked to get where you are in inspirational for me.
Now you can enjoy your holiday. You've earned the fun you're going to have on this one the hard way.
TY SO MUCH FOR SUCH INSPIRING PICS.....U LOOK GEORGEOUS !!!
Amazing. You are my idol. I want your body, but not in a sexual way. I mean, I want it INSTEAD of mine.
Please?
Congratulations! You look GORGEOUS! I am so proud of you - I read your blog everyday, and knowing what you have overcome keeps me on the diet wagon more days than not. Your journey is inspiring, and I love watching you succeed! YOU GO, GIRL!
When I saw the pic, I actually thought - wow, those 10 lbs made such a difference! Funny that you thought the opposite. You look so good - you should be so proud of yourself!!!

I was hoping you'd hit that milestone before vacation! You look incredible! You also have a great shape, which is not the same as just being thin! You look fantastic!
You look fabulous! I think there's an obvious difference between the 80 and 90 off pictures.
You look amazing! 90 pounds is a huge milestone. Woo hoo!!! Congrats.
That would be the equivalent of 360 sticks of butter that is no longer part of you. Wonderful!
You look amazing! Keep up the great work.
An amazing transformation!
Wow! You are terrific, and look amazing. Great job.

Good for you, skinny!
I can definitely see a difference from 10 lbs ago. You are more shapely & are getting a great figure. Congrats, great job! I am so happy for you.
Yes, my friend, NORMAL is now a word that does describe YOU. :)
Oh, and we finally get to see the shirt you mentioned quite awhile back that you were initially uncomfy wearing. [I think] I'm guessing you are way over that now! Yes, it looks nice and fits you well. (for now. haha)
Sooo cool to hear about your upcoming vaca, and then think about the trip when you took the 'before' photos in the sidebar..and how that particular trip went. Wow. And this trip sounds like a very active one. It's a lifestyle, baby! She's taking it on her vacation! Being active..Yay Lyn!
Chrissy
FANTASTIC!
I was bummed this morning to find that after being totally faithful to my healthy eating plan, I am only down one pound from last week! But instead of going off the rails, I will remember the advice you've given in similar times and press on!
I hope you are having a BLAST on your vacation!
You look FABULOUS! :)
Keep goin' lady! :)

OMGosh Girl, You look FANTASTIC!
You look awesome!! How does it feel? I am wondering if you share some of the same feelings about getting smaller... Do you start to feel like you're losing too fast? Do you feel comfortable with your new self? Do you dismiss praise and complements? Sometimes I think I am sabatoging myself... that my mind is 2 parts - one "YOU ARE FAT" the other "DON'T NOTICE ME.. FAT's NOT SO BAD"...
You look AMAZING! Are we going to get to see your smile when you get to goal? It won't be long now. Hope you're having a great time on vacation!
You are amazing and such a wonderful example. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
Chrissy~
ah yes, you noticed! It IS "the shirt"! I am comfortable with it now :)
Lynne~
it feels fantastic! Not too fast, and I love compliments!
wow, I just found your blog, you look amazing. I look forward to seeing that 100lbs gone picture. So happy to see this can be done. I am just a week into my journey...but I am committed this time and blogging daily to keep myself on track.
Jill

Awesome job!!!! Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!
I want you to know because of you I have talked my husband into letting me do Medifast. I am currently 256 pounds and I can't stand it anymore. I dislocated my knee and now am permanently disabled because of this. My weight what was to blame. I see your blog and can't believe it has taken this long! I hope to do even just half of what you were able to achieve. I have read some of your posts and I am in tears. :) Thank you.
I just found your blog - you are such an inspiration! You look absolutely fantastic! Congrats!
Congrats on keeping up with the hard work of losing weight! You are doing spectacular and are a fantastic inspiration. Thanks for sharing it with us!
You look WONDERFUL! You have done so well for yourself and I am so happy for you! I haven't stopped in to visit your blog for a little while and I am so glad I came today and was able to see how terrific you are doing! I am totally smiling now! :)
All I can add is ...WOW
Wow, wow, wow. I can't believe that you're the same girl in the picture on the left. You've proven it can be done without the surgery. I'm sure your mind has shed much of its unwanted baggage, as well. Keep it up!!!!!!!
I've looked at this page a billion times now. This picture provides some serious motivation. You look fabulous!!! Such a cute figure! Congratulations on making it this far...I can't imagine how hard this must have been, or how rewarding it must be every time you stop and really look at yourself.
Your weight loss blog is totally awesome and so inspirational to those who want/need to do the same thing .. I am so thrilled for you. I started the same journey three months ago and have lost 35 pounds. I have a temporary goal to lose 30 more. And then I want to set another goal. My weight right now is 200!! .. can't seem to get below that .. but I will. Today has been a bad day BUT tomorrow is a new day and I start over. You truly are an inspiration to more people than you can imagine! :) .. KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK!
WOWWWWW amazingggggggggggg you are doing a great job losing all of the weight. Kudos to you for sticking to a plan and having it all work out for you.
You are an inspiration to all the women out there trying to lose weight! You look amazing keep up the good work!
HOLY COW!! I can't believe how great you are doing. I'm so bad about making the blog rounds due to my work schedule and yours was always one of my favorites. You look absolutely amazing!! Congrats on your progress :)
Way to go! Geeze Lyn it's been a while since I've stopped by, but I definitely caught this headline. I am so happy for you and cannot express my own excitement in this success you've achieved. Way to Go... Smiles, Sheri
