Me showing off. I was in a feisty mood, having just hiked not quite this far totally on my own, which is SO out of my comfort zone! Before going on a major diet 2.5 years ago, I had Arthroscopic knee surgery on both knees, to try and clean out severe Arthritis as much as possible. Prior to that surgery, I couldn't walk up one flight of steps, or a (level) city block without my knees severely hurting. I'm very proud to have recently lost 100+ pounds over a 2-year period and just began "maintenance" 2-1/2 months before we left on vacation, so this picture was a double-WhoHOO from me!!!
