These pictures were taken on October 25, 2003.  It is at the 25 pound lost mark.  I can see marked improvement in how my clothes fit.  It's really exciting to notice changes in your body!!!

This picture is the family picture that we (myself, my DH, Gary and daughter, Justine) took in November 2003 for our holiday cards.  You can't tell much because we are all wearing dark colors, but I know that I've lost about 30 pounds in this picture.

These are pictures taken on December 6, 2003.  My weight is 279.5 or 42.5 pounds gone from where I started.  I don't really like my arms, but I figured that they show a big improvement too.  Maybe someday I'll have the nerve to wear a tank top out in public without a long sleeved shirt over it or better yet a sleeveless dress!!!!

This picture is taken on New Year's Eve 2003.  Funny how losing 51 pounds makes me want to be in front of the camera more and more when before you had to search for pictures with me in them.  Anyway, I figured since I was planning on becoming a new woman in 2004 I'd start with a new cut and color.  What do you think???

These pictures were taken on January 14, 2004.  A little more dressed up than usual.  My weight in these pictures is 263.5 and I have lost a total of 58.5 pounds.  I can see a huge difference between these pictures and the pictures taken with the red shirt (see above).  I feel great, but can't wait to keep going on this journey.  Gotta work on those flabby arms though!!!

This family picture was taken on March 3, 2004.  I'm in the back so it's hard to judge the difference in my body, but I really think that my face looks much thinner.  As of these pictures I have lost 71.5 pounds and I weigh 250.5. 

The next picture was taken on March 17, 2004.  As of this picture I had lost 74.5 pounds and I weighed 247.  I compared the pictures to my previous front & profile shots and I don't see much of a difference except that by the clothing I'm wearing it's not hiding the problem spots very well.  I guess I'm learning to take a few more chances in the fashion department as I'm becoming more comfortable in my skin!!!  (sorry about the glare on my face, but you get the idea)

New pictures of the new me.... The following picture was taken on May 3, 2004.  I weighed 234.5 and had lost a total of 87.5 pounds when this picture was taken.  Funny little story, but I noticed the other day that while walking down a hall at work that when I looked down I couldn't see my stomach protruding out beyond my chest.  Now, my chest has gotten smaller too, but at least I could see past my stomach... all the way down to my toes!!!

Next picture is myself and a WW buddy who lives in Amarillo, TX that I've met on the WW website message boards... Her name is Kristen and what a dear person she is!!!  On our vacation we spent the night in Amarillo and Kristen came by to meet me.  How cool is that?!?!?!  The picture was taken June 4, 2004.  As of this picture I had lost 92.5 pounds and weighed 229.5. 

The next picture is a group of people from the **TEXAS, TEXAS, TEXAS** thread on the Staying Local board at Weight Watchers.com (actually, Kristen, up above, is from that board too).  In the front row, left to right, are myself, Mindy (aka Mak), and Cori.  In the back row, left to right are Linda, Dee, Chris and Tracey (Linda is Dee's mom, and Tracey is Chris' daughter).  We had a great time in Grapevine on June 26, 2004.

The following picture was taken at my '100 POUND PARTY' on July 24, 2004.  It is of myself and my leader, Elaine.  Isn't she sweet???  It was a good time, but I had a bad WI... gained 1.5 pounds, but still over 100 pounds lost -- 103 to be exact.

Below are the 'progress pictures' that DH took for me to add to the website.  As of these pictures I weigh 219 and have lost 103 pounds.  I can really tell a big difference between where I started and where I am now... I still have some body image issues that prevent me from seeing myself  'skinny', but gosh, I am starting to look really good!!!

Okay, so it's been what seems like forever since I've updated my pictures... Mainly because I haven't really lost that much more weight.  In the following picture my total is 118.5 lost and I weigh 203.5 pounds.  I've come a long way, but I can definately tell that it is getting harder to lose the weight... Although it is getting harder I will not quit!!!

The following picture was taken on Christmas 2005... Our daughter, Justine, and the reason why I've been off program for nine months, our new born son, Anderson.  He was born on 12/20/2005 and I am going back to meeting as of this weekend, January 7, 2006.

The following picture is our family picture in July 2006.  Needless to say I have not lost any weight since having the baby.  I have been not working the program the way that I need to in order to be successful, but today (October 1, 2006) is a new day and I have rededicated myself.  I will get back down under 200 pounds and then on to my goal weight.  Too bad I've wasted 9 MORE months and I don't even have another beautiful child to show for it!!!

Another family picture taken in June 2008.  I have been not wanting to be in front of the camera so much since I've gained so much of the weight I had lost, although I really do like this picture.  It was taken for the directory they were giving out at my 20 year high school reunion.
