Before and During Pics

Here are my before pics that were taken on November 8, 2008. I weighed in at 297 pounds.









Due to more than one person requesting these, I am putting up some during pictures. They were taken this morning and I weign in at 261.2 pounds. I am at 45 pounds lost. The next pictures will be posted when I hit 75 pounds lost. Let me know what you think of my pics.

I think you can definitely tell a difference...but you should smile in the next set. You are doing a great thing!

Thanks Jaime. I posted them on facebook too and that's what a lot of my friends are saying too. I will smile in the next set. I'm posting again when I lose 30 more pounds. That will be 75 pounds lost. Thanks for the encouragement.

I needed this. It's so much easier to see how good you look when you see the pictures "side by side". Don't forget about our before pictures from the Apple Cider Century!

Awesome! I'm having a great time following your journey. We're right at about the same weight right now, and I'm doing 2 of 3 legs of a triathalon in August. Wahoo! Rock it sister! Looking forward to seeing more from you.
