Before & After and feeling great! By: Jill Knapp

Sometimes when I look at pictures of me when I was heavy I don't even recognize that person. It feels great to have the weight off and be healthier and happier
with myself. One of the biggest influences in my life that told me I can make anything in my life happen was my wonderful Mother-in law who I adored. I know If she was still alive she would say"See I new you had it in you"
I am so grateful I had
her in my life and still to this day I hear her positive voice within.

I posted a comment on your delightful blogs page. That is great that you lost so much weight. You look really good and when I read that you were 40 my mouth dropped. You look like you are in your 20's.
Any way thanks for the motivation that it can be done.

I really like your blog it has some really good information. I bought your 3 step skin logics and love it. Your before and after pictures are amazing and I feel ready to hop on board and get some of this baby weight off, I also have 3 kids and I feel so pulled in so many directions all the time I hardly have time for me. I feel If you did this with having 3 kids not to mention a broken leg that truly is amazing. Keep blogging.
I found your blog on beauty blog about 6 mo ago and visit often,

I saw your info on bookieboo. I can tell the pictures are both you by the eyes but what a awesome transformation. You look incredible for 40. I just took off 20 pounds and have 20 to go. If you did it with a broken leg well I know I have no excuse.

I found your blog on delightful blogs. I am so impressed with your weight loss. What a great story. Even down to your last 5 pounds gone and with a broken ankle. You should write a book how you did it.
Thanks for inspiring me.

You look great Jill!!! How are you? Your little family is so beautiful. I haven't talked to you in years.

WOW Jill! You look fabulous! I can't believe you lost so much weight with a cast on your leg! I gained maybe 5 pounds when K was hospitalized this year for 3 months and no matter how much I work out, I couldn't lose it! (I did cut out most simple carbs and that helped a little! But I miss my Rocky Road ice-cream!)
