Before and After

I have lost 25 pounds since June of this year and gone from a size 18 (left) to a size 14 (right). Leaving my job of 15 years played a major role in that - not because of depression, but because of less stress in my life. I started walking more when I went to school for two months - walking across campus twice a day and upstairs to my classrooms made a big difference too. I look at these two pictures side by side and I am so proud of myself - I still can't quite believe it but I am so happy to be so much slimmer!
