you look terrific! What a difference! Way to go!

I definitely have to get some new jeans in a smaller size since mine are 4" too big around the waist! Nice to wear a size 6, huh? I gotta find a smaller size with narrow legs cause mine look like chicken legs! I guess I do flunk Oprah's fashion tests! I still like the skinny legs...just hate shopping and trying on 40 pairs till I find a style that fits...

Thanks for updating. You look FABULOUS and I know you must feel great too. GOOD FOR YOU! Thanks for being a great example to us all.

You look so lean, fit, and healthy! Congratulations!!

ET,

YOU ROCK!!!!

Absolutely fabulous! WHO is that woman in the before picture, right? No wonder your manure guy didn't recognize you!! Woo hoo!

oh yes that is right - the poo person didn't recognize ETeSelle. Yep I can see why too. It's fun to see those side view photos.

BTW I wish I had a job were I could wear jeans.

Yup! I wear jeans almost every day to both my jobs (the office job and the hoof trimming job). My office job doesn't pay great, but there are benefits (like the jeans and a low-stress atmosphere). I can't see myself returning to the suits and hose world now!

The first thing I noticed are your slender arms! I HATE my arms and am so looking forward to having them shrink too!

You are an inspiration for all of us! Maybe the next pic you post will be in your new cute swim suit?!

That'll have to wait for summer, LOL!

I have pretty muscular arms b/c I trim horses' feet! That's my second job-barefoot hoof trimmer. It's VERY hard work, and it definitely keeps me strong. I also have farm chores at my own place. So the muscle was always there beneath the fat--you can just SEE it now, LOL.

My massage therapist keeps finding new muscles every month. They were there before but she used to have to really work to find them. Now they're right there where she can work on them! LOL!

Just wanted to post a thanks for sharing your story. Congratulations on your success! You look great and you're helpful attitude is awesome. Your post pinpointed some of my faults that I didn't even really realize until just now ~ very helpful, and quite inspiring to hear your story. Wish you well. Now I'm gonna read a bit of your journal.. I think I see MWL in my future...

Thank you for posting this....I needed a kick in the pants....you look amazeing

Always happy to kick someone in the pants, LOL!

Thank you for posting that link to the "Fast Food" DVD....I ordered it and had it in a couple days and just watched it. Think its gonna make my life a whole lot easier. The twins cracked me up...so in sync with each other......So tiny but healthy .....usually when you see teenagers that small they have dark circles under their eyes and look malnoirshed from starveing themselves (or worse) . Heading to the store to stock up on the frozen veggies

Guess what I bought at Goodwill this week? SKINNY JEANS! 2 pair-one size 6, the other size 4. Pix to come soon! They are really cute and it's nice to be in style!!
