I noticed another Alyssa on the board so I’ll change my "name".

When I first saw the pics I was taken aback. Not for any other reason other than I wasn’t expecting to see pics. Now that I understand what the jist was I think it is totally cool that you have the guts to do that. You have made great strides in weight and confidence and you should be very proud! The fact that you are comfortable enough with the members of this board to allow us into your life says something. The fact that others can be so rude as to voice such negative comments shows their closemindedness. If you don’t have anything nice to say.....

I recently lost 25lbs of "baby weight" and wish I had documented it. It is a very difficult thing to do. FLAUNT IT, BABY!!!!
