Before and After

Sorry for the lengthy spell between posts! I have several fun things to post about soon, so keep an eye out here.

Many of you know that I have been using Weight Watchers for the past year. Through this great program, I have lost 70 pounds.

I am now what's called a "Lifetime" member, meaning that I've reached my goal weight and maintained for 6 weeks. As long as I stay near my goal weight, I can continue to attend meetings for free. And I just love my weekly meeting. Sheba has been a huge help during this process, as our daily walks are basically my only source of exercise. Here are my before, during and after pictures:
