    Too soften the blow of how disgusting I look in this photo I made it smaller. My chins are showing :P But I thought it was too cool not to post! It's me holding a Tegu yesterday at the County Fair! I almost look as fat as him LOL. I had just done a little research on them for a future class *project* and I was actually surprised to have met one haha!

    Alyssa, first off, you don't look fat in the slightest bit! I am far too familiar with the dreaded double chin, and I'm 113 lbs. Its a curse.
    Second off, thanks for holding my dream lizard for me, you can now deliver him to my house.

    My name is Tanya and I am originally from London, Ontario, Canada but have been living in Lancaster PA for the last 7 years. I am a stay at home, homeschooling mom to Hannah who is almost 6 years old now (CRAZINESS) and I work very part time as a teachers assistant for a preschool two mornings a week which Hannah gets to attend with me. We still have our two dogs, Beezer and Belle.

    In the photo you see I've lost a lot of weight. I was nearly 300 lbs in the first photo and after a health scare (which turned out to be just a panic attack but was enough to set me straight) I set on a mission to lose weight and be healthy. I started with just diet changes... portion control, eating healthier, etc. Since January I have joined Beachbody and have two wonderful coaches who help push me along and keep me motivated. One is a dear friend from our church who is also on a journey to being healthier and the other is our "headmaster" and he is a wonderful motivator and very knowledgeable and encouraging. I started going to fit club once a week and since then I brought my workouts home and workout there 6 days a week. I've completed three different workout programs and have the T shirts to prove it LOL and I am working on #4 which is Focus T25... VERY tough and very intense. I've run a few 5k's since January. I've lost over 100 lbs... down to about 185 and I still have some more work to do but I'm focused and driven to be the healthiest me I can be. My husband of 8 years this august has joined me in this journey to health and we are pushing each other along.

    So between being healthier, homeschooling and keeping up after Hannah my days are pretty busy
    You look amazing and I can't believe Hannah is 6!

    That's a very big accomplishment, and it must take an insane amount of dedication! I congratulate you on your success.

    Neither of you are fat. Although I'm not much of a fan of tegus, it's awesome you got to see one, and I hope the project you're planning goes well.

    Pom & momcat - I COULD post pictures of both of you that aren't THAT old!!

    Tanya, you look fantastic, and I can't believe Hannah is six. She was three I suppose when we met her. Such a cutie - and maybe just a bit of a ham?!

    Thanks everyone. I wouldn't say it takes a ton of dedication but it is hard work but knowing it's worth it is what keeps you going. Just eating right (most of the time LOL) and exercising regularly

    July 21st 2013 - my 57th Birthday.

    That's my mom on the left. She turned 80 in June. She has had Parkinson's for about 4 years but still gets in her 1 hour walk almost daily!

    After over 20 years as a musician on the road, I 'retired' to Alberta 15 years ago. I did a few gigs and worked in various office jobs. Computers had always interested me and in late 2008 I joined a startup computer company with a friend of mine as a mentor. We had a recession in early 2009. There weren't any "real" jobs available, so I decided to plough on and keep going with computers - the company had failed by then.

    I Googled, made mistakes, called on my friend, learned tons just by doing - and finally this year I feel on an even keel.

    I am owned by Oscar Mayer Wild a 10 year old tabby, Cole Rover Porter a fluffy black boy about 8 years old, and Zoe a tiny tabby-and-white foster failure who will be 13 this fall and is the biggest kitten of the lot!

    To sparks19-Tanya and kittycat delight-Michelle,
    Congrats on losing lots of weight. You both look fantastic and no doubt it's healthier not to be very overweight. I know how difficult it is to lose weight and keep it off. Good Luck! Enjoy your life... Kay in NC

    Me! *waves* Hi everyone, I'm a 46 year old mom to three furboys (Chester, Little Bit, and Bowser) living near Dallas. I love music and movies, and tend to get a little obsessed with actors and musicians. I have a spider tattoo and a dragon tattoo with another one in the works, as well as a monroe piercing. Everyone keeps waiting for me to grow up, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. Like Court, I don't fit in too well around here. It's hard being a 'liberal hippie freak' in a very conservative state, but I have amazing friends and as much as I'd like to move away, I don't think I could leave them.

    Oh, and I'm short too (5'3") and LIVE in heels. My husband says I would even wear high heeled slippers if they made them!

    Wow! If you hadn't told us your age, I would've thought that you were in your 20's to 30's. You sure don't look your age and it sounds like you don't act your age either which is a good thing. You'll stay young forever.
