My husband and I have been losing weight this year. Between us, we've lost over 120 pounds -- it's practically a whole other person!
This is us now:
This was us then (3 years ago at my brother-in-law's wedding):
Don't know how long he will let me keep these up here, so enjoy them while you can! :)

I am in Tucson visiting our family, and for my mom's Birthday I thought I would post some photos so she could see how we all are. Especially Marley, the newest addition to the family. She looks like a Bukowski, for sure! :)

Marley, who isn't too sure yet about this whole thing

Awwwww.
Love you, Mom!
I am in Tucson at a work conference. This is the resort I am staying at.
I miss my husband and cats, but I don't think I want to go home. EVER.
This was me in January. That's a size 18 jacket.
This was me last week. I borrowed a girlfriend's same jacket -- size 12.
50 pounds. Now THAT'S fulfilling a New Year's Resolution!
I played with the saturation and color on these, but yes, they were this bright and cheery!
More photos from the Chicago Botanic Garden. The tulips aren't even in full bloom yet! There is more to come as the weeks progress.
Just to let you know I am still busy losing weight and photographing the results of that more than anything else these days. But spring is supposed to be around the corner (unless we get that snowstorm today, UGH) and I'm hoping to start looking around at pretty things outside again soon. Until then, here's a peek at how I'm progressing:

If you think that's amazing, you should see my husband! He looks terrific.
Sorry for the long gap between posts! I am still here, and still taking photos, but the subject is pretty boring: me. I've been on a big weight-loss effort since January 1st, and it's coming along great! 28 pounds so far. As part of it, I have been taking photos of myself to mark the changes, which has been both an eye-opener and great motivation to continue. But it's not the most exciting blog subject, so I haven't been posting them here.
That said, here's a good visual of the changes. Same outfit (the top, at least), four months apart.

Yay!
Winter Wonderland at the Chicago Botanic Garden. That is a replica of the B'nai Temple.
