Before

These are the pictures that started it all. It was shortly after Christmas of 2004 when I was looking at photos of our family Christmas gathering. I was appalled when I saw myself in the pictures and knew that I needed to get serious about losing weight. I honestly didn't realize I was as big as I was. Now, I am amazed at what I have accomplished in a year's time. I can't even believe this is me. Click on "Comparison" to the left to see my comparison shots of the 2004 and 2005 Christmas party.

This is me at the start of Weight Watchers. I had been on the program for about a day.

This is me at one of my baby showers. I was about 8 months pregnant here.

This is me at my family baby shower. I wore a lot of black to hide my size.

This is me September 2004.

This is a picture of my family during the 2004 Christmas season.
