1/2 point of weight loss!!

Hello!
The last time we "spoke
I was just beginning my weight loss journey in January as a sort of extended New Year's Resolution.  After 8.5 months of Weight Watchers and 2 months of the Couch to 5 K program I am feeling tons better about myself, I know I am looking better and I am in much better shape!! I have lost 43 lbs, and am about halfway to my weight loss goal!  As a part of my quest, I've decided to take pictures at significant landmarks wearing the same swimsuit so people/me can see the differences more significantly.  So...Here are the first half!
September 2011: approx. 228.6 lbs
May 2012: Approx. 205 lbs

and finally, today (8/17/12) at approx. 185 lbs

 It feels REALLY exciting to be able to see such significant progress. Obviously I look diva-riffic in that first picture...not really sure why i look like a limp noodle in the second, and am molto STOKED in the third.

Let me tell you, it is HARD work. Every day is a struggle. But I'm growing to love healthy food and exercise (although I still love me some tasty treats!!)

I've pretty much decided that I am aiming for to lose a full 100lbs.  After which we are going to have the biggest, most awesomest party ever.  Maybe a build-your-own salad high-five fest!

Just thought I would let everyone know about my progress!

Exclamation point!
