So today was supposed to be a house cleaning day. But Tracey went outside around 9:00 and told me it was feeling warm and we should go to the beach.
Now who am I to argue?
So off we went. It didnt reach 70 but it was still beautiful. And boy did we get some sun. Here is today.
And here is a year ago February.
Full body comparison? This year...
Last year....

Last year....
I am eating a fried pickle here. On Sunday's at our local Shrimp Basket, they have oysters for 25 cents (yucky but Tracey loves them) and I get fried pickles. They have the BEST fried pickles!
And lastly, here is a shot of my leg. Sometimes I catch a glimpse of my leg and I can't believe it is my leg. I know to some of you it may not appear "small", but to me, compared to where I came from...it is nice!
Oooh, and one last thing. This morning I weighed in at 200.0 pounds. This week I will see a number that starts with a one. I am pretty excited.
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I am watching the Oscars right now...which for me is like the Superbowl to sports fans. I really thought that one day I would stand on that stage. Who knows...it's never too late!
So close to the elusive onederland!
ReplyDeleteYou're looking fab - wish I had the guts (or lack of!) to wear a 2 piece!
Em :)
All I can say is WOW.. the person from last year doesn't even look related to you. Keep up the incredible work.. you look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYou look so pretty, Amy!!! And congrats on being so close to onderland...and being at 200.0. LOVE YOU!!!
ReplyDeleteSo close to a 1xx!! That's exciting, Amy; congratulations!
ReplyDeleteAnd your shots from last year to this? Amazing. You look great and your smile looks wonderful! Last year's looks a little forced ;)
I don't know if you realize, but I'm from South Florida, been to your neck of the woods once. Now living in western PA, with 80 inches of snow on the ground and having spent 6 hours yesterday splitting firewood, your post of skipping out on house responsibilities to go to the beach and eat fried pickles - all I can say is, I'm frickin' jealous.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome difference. Great job. I hope that I am as successful as you.
ReplyDeleteYou look absolutely amazing and your legs are smokin hot! I can't wait to hear you are at 1XX. This is so exciting!
ReplyDeleteWell, look at how awesome you look skinny girl???
ReplyDeleteGeez Amy, you look so completely different from just a year ago! You look beautiful and skinny too! I wanted to go to the beach today too but I have been sick all weekend. Hope to see you on Tuesday...
ReplyDeleteSKINNY BITCH!!! you look hot...I want a fried pickle

Holy Crap! Those are awesome before and afters!!!!
ReplyDeletewow! just wow! You are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteoh oh oh....I am SO jealous!!
ReplyDeleteAnd you just look amazing! I don't even have the words to tell you how amazing.
Just. Amazing.
Did I say amazing?
And you DO have a great looking let - I totally know what you mean!! I keep checking mine out - I'm currently searching for my knee. When I see pointy under the jeans, I'll know I've arrived.
Congrats on 200.0!!
Pickles, bleh! So I'll eat almost anything fried.
ReplyDeleteThats a damn fine leg, Amy, and a damn fine body 12 months down the track. What a difference a year makes. Go you for shirking the housework (blahh who needs it.. it will still be there when you get back) and getting out into the sun.
ReplyDeleteI'm interested in what a fried pickle tastes like. You guys in the US have such eclectic tastes lol.
WOW!! You look AMAZING!!!!! (Wait. . I need more exclamation points after that!) !!!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome about you hitting 200. Onederland is totally in your reach!!
xoxoxo,
Catherine
All I can say is OMG you look fabulous..
ReplyDeleteYou ever had those baby kosher pickles wrapped in bacon and set on the BBQ? So bad for you, but taste so good.
ReplyDeleteToday was the first day I didn't follow Lap Band Dieting Protocol. Bad Zara. I had a cupcake & some sorbet & some fruit salad. Liv laughed and said "Today is your Oscar cheat day!" She's evil, because I really just wanted the cupcake but she insisted I have sorbet alongside her. And she says, "Mommy, just go back to eating right tomorrow. One day won't kill you. It's special Oscar day!"
How can anyone fight that logic?
I can't WAIT to have before and after pics like that! So awesome for you!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on nearing onederland! I fear I may never be there!
ReplyDeleteWow Amy!! You are looking totally hot in those pictures!! You look absolutely amazing!!! And onederland is just around the corner for you! Can't wait until you make it. You will weigh less than me VERY SOON!! LOL You are so lucky to live so close to the beach.
ReplyDeleteI've been lurking around for a while but I just had to pipe up and say.. you look gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI'd be thrilled if my leg looked that good, too. I've only just begun (banded 15th Feb) and I'm thrilled with my progress but have a long, long way to go. Reading blogs like yours inspires very pleasant daydreams of future times...
Thank you. :)
Vanessa
First, you look amazing... second... 199 here you come! I am so pumped for you. Woot Woot!
ReplyDeletegorgeous leg!!! I do the SAME thing! I often times look down and think "who's leg is that? I like that leg..." and then realize it is me! LOL... and you look beautiful - amazing, the journey we've taken, huh??? Can't wait to read about onederland for you! I like it... of course, I'm above 200 again this morning, but I know that I can get there!!!
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing...was that really you??? Love comparison photos.
ReplyDeleteWhere did your boobs go???
Wow - What a difference - you look super-fantastic!!!!
ReplyDeleteThose first two pics..so great! You've done some amazing work!! :0)
ReplyDeleteGirl, you look AWESOME! Look how lovely your shoulders are in that top photo. And your smile is a mile wide.
ReplyDeleteI'm also impressed that you actually go to the beach in Florida. When I lived in S.Fla., I was surprised by how few residents went to the beach. And I was completely floored to find so many tanning salons. IN FLORIDA. Where there's sunshine for most of the year!
My sweet Ames...you look sooo great there are hardly words. I look down at my ankle/foot sometimes and cant believe its mine either. The Miss Piggie feet are gone! Love you girl.
ReplyDeleteP.S I emailed you my new address. XOXO
You look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWow...that's it, just wow!!!!
ReplyDeleteGeesh, you are sooo close - this is your week! You look fantastic in your beach pics, truly beautiful! I have been wanting to try some fried pickles - I hear they are fantastic. <3
ReplyDeleteYou look so great in that bikini :) And to me, your leg does look tiny! I had that same thought last night about mine too! I was sitting on the couch (watching the Oscars!) and looked down at my crossed legs and had to do like a triple take! I loved what I saw :)
ReplyDeleteOh man...if you hit onderland this week you will be able to hear me squealing from Seattle!
Oh my god!!! You have come a long way baby girl! You look so good and you must be soooo proud of yourself!
ReplyDeleteWOW - the difference in those top two photos is unbelievable. Way to go!!
ReplyDeleteYou go girl! Look at your tiny, little, bony shoulders! :) And congratulations on the upcoming onederland, I am soooo jealous!
ReplyDeleteAmy you look amazing! YOu really are an inspiration!
