AW: 100lbs lost - Before and After pics

As I stated in the 3T post, today I have officially lost 100lbs.  I posted comparison pictures on facebook so I apologize if this is overkill for those I'm friends with on there, but I wanted to share here too.

Here is what I wrote on FB:

Today, after 2 years of making a complete lifestyle change, dieting and lots of exercise, I am so incredibly proud to say that I have officially lost 100lbs! 2 years ago I thought I'd never make it to 100lbs lost and if I did then that'd be my finish line, but today I don't stop, I keep going and I cannot wait for the next major milestone I hit.

The Before pictures are not the easiest thing to share with the world but that was who I was, not who I am, and I am darn proud of my After pictures, who I am today! "Progress, not perfection"
