Jan 26, 2017, I decided I had to change my life, or die an early death, possibly from diabetes since it is rampant in our family.
The photos today show the 2 year progression, very slow loss of 60 pounds, the first year 55, and another 10 the second year.
For some reason I am stuck doing the up/down with 3 to 4 pounds. I should be down another 10 by now, but am struggling with the last 10 pounds I need to lose.
It is best to lose no more than 1 pound a week or less.
It is not about the looks of it but the health of it. I am not even trying to get to the weight THE chart says I should be, doctor said 10 pounds above the chart is fine for my age... I have printed these collages to keep in my bag that goes to TOPS meetings, for my inspiration and motivation and hopefully for others.

I'm a member of T.O.P.S here in Idaho, great weight lost program.
Finally, comparison pics!! What a HUGE difference! Even your face is so much more noticeably skinnier. We always lose more weight at first, because it is such a huge change for our bodies. But as our system gets more and more used to dieting as the norm, things slow down. After I have been bad for a few weeks, I lose like crazy. Then it always slows down. You look healthier too. You are kind of glowing. You have great willpower. I think the older we are, the harder it is to change and to diet.
Wow, the difference is wonderful and your chins have gone, that's one part of me I hate. lol

You have done FANTASTIC. I'm so proud of you. I know what you mean about the last 10 pounds. A couple years ago when I was doing really good I took off all but the last 10 I wanted to lose and I just couldn't get down any further. I really want to get back to what i was doing then but for some reason I can't get myself to do it. This year, I'll convince myself though
Can you hear me clapping at your determination and huge success!!
WTG TOPS!
Jake is saying hey mom, I here to eat any food that tempts you.

you are an inspiration, Sandra, no doubt about it! YAM xx
You really have made a great difference in your life by changing habits and getting healthier. It is HARD to loose weight when you are so close to your ideal weight. That's what I always tell others. When it gets that hard, it probably means you are where you need to be. You look great and I know you feel lots better. What a fabulous accomplishment. I'm so proud of you! Hugs!
Kudos to you for the discipline involved to accomplish this weight loss.
I am so proud of you Sandra - keep up the meetings always and the weight will come off eventually. So did the neck skin just go away or did you have surgery? You look GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!
I need to make that decision myself...it is hard to do. I just need to make up my mind to do for myself...you sure would serve as an inspiration.
That is amazing progress. I'm glad this program is working for you.
Kudos to you my friend. I know we have talked about this stubborn last 10 pounds so many times.
It's such a pain but you and I will do it!!
I need to get over that 2 pound plateau and then move on from there.
Your photos are awesome. What a comparison.
Keep it up...
Did I ever tell you, you're my hero?!? Favorite pix? #2 collage, top row far right … and of course, the last two. I can't recall. What does Bob say?
So … I'm starting over (again). 'Just returned from Wal-Mart WITHOUT a bottle of wine. But I did buy some avocado oil and Stevia drops. Gosh, it's hard to look back on my earlier pix and wonder what the h*** happened!
You do look fabulous and I know it's about your health so it's a win, win!! Everyone always talks about those last 10 pounds, they are always a struggle. You have done an amazing job with TOPS.
You are SUCH an inspiration S, thanks for sharing your wonderful progress!!!
Congratulations on your hard work and efforts! What you have accomplished is no easy feat and I"m so proud of you!!! You are such a beautiful woman with an infectious smile! Thank you for sharing this personal post, you are truly an inspiration!!

Remarkable progress and you look terrific. Congratulations on your success.
Congratulations on the weight loss Sandra, you look great! I know it is not easy and takes a lot of discipline but you did it! Good on you!!!
You are beautiful! I'm so proud for you...such an accomplishment! Do you know I have gained over 20 lbs since moving to NC. Not helping my health issues. I've always had chubby cheeks so even when I was 122lbs my face looked chubby to me. I'm 5'7". I really want pool in my next home. I may join the Y just to swim, but I've always disliked public pools.
Jake was telling his mommy she's pretty. :)
Congratulations pretty lady!
I applaud you!
