ok... this is the great smallening... i won't post anymore pictures of me until i lose another 10 pounds, promise.

I wish I had a better before picture. I mean, I am huge in this before picture, but I am also sitting down and part of me has been cropped out. I don't even fit in the picture, which is rad. But I still wish I had a proper before picture. So, I have lost 51 pounds, and have about 70 or so more to lose before I reach goal weight. I have gone from a size 26 to an 18! I started wearing a men's 2XL shirt and now I am down to a large. It is amazing.

More stats. I don't know how much I weighed in the first picture, but it was a lot. Between that picture and June 5th of last year, I spent one year exercising, but not changing my eating habits. This helped me get smaller, but not lose any weight. Then on June 5th, 2003, I started weightwatchers online. Since then I have lost the 51 pounds. So, from 289 to 238 in 9 months. It isn't magic. Believe me, it is hard work, but not magic.
