About as "BEFORE" as it gets!

My husband took this picture of me while we were on vacation on St. Croix. I was smiling in the picture and we had a fantastic time, but I KNOW I would have had a better time if I hadn't been lugging around all that extra weight. What fun's a gorgeous, tropical island when you're too embarrassed to be seen in your bathing suit without wrapping yourself up in a towel?!?
