An update to the new years resolution

So, I shared earlier that I am working on getting healthy.  Well, I am still working on it but I thought I would post pictures to show how far I have come. 

This is the day I started, October 28.  I'd like to tell you the camera adds 10 pounds but that isn't the case with me, I was the heaviest I had been except for being pregnant.  How did this happen to me?  I am so frustrated at myself in this picture but I made the committment to change that so below is a current photo:

This is me 47 pounds lighter.  I feel great, have more energy, and still have a little ways to go but I know I will get there.  I won't lie, it's been hard.  During the holidays I avoided sweets and I kept working hard.  I started all of this because I was so tired of being the weight I was and then I got more motivation when I ordered a bridesmaid dress for this summer two sizes too small.  I am happy to say the dress fits and I hope to have it taken in by the time I need to wear it.
