 My most recent "after".

I remember coming here and crying about how long and slow and painful a process. I was averaging maybe half a pound a week. And starving myself.

Then I found the wonderful saved my life ebook Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle.  I started eating 500 more calories a day and lost 30lbs in 4 months. It had taken me 18 to lose 40lbs starving myself. Go me! :)

Okies. This is me today, 3/16/06 at I dunno - I weighed in last week at 209.6.  I had my son take these. I said OMG am I THAT fat? I swear I don't see this when I look in the mirror. No, I'm not by any means seeing thing but wow I do NOT see this for sure.

This was me back in Feb '05 when I was oh so sick of being unhealthy and overweight at 175ish.  This is the most recent. I don't have the stomach or the software atm to do a more recent. I recently reformatted and haven't reinstalled Photoshop yet. I can't believe I'm making this pre-coffee, pre-shower photo public lol. I thought I cropped my head off but now I dunno where that version is.
