Before Pictures

I started Weight Watchers in September of 2003, when Jason and I got engaged.  I didn't want to be the fat lady in a huge white dress, especially with my rear end facing the guests at our wedding for the ceremony!  So...I started Weight Watchers on the encouragement of some friends.  It has literally changed my life.  Not just my weight loss, but the way I think, take care of myself, eat, dress, see life!  It may sound corny, but it has worked for me. 

Here are some of my before pictures....I started Weight Watchers weighing 216 pounds.  No wonder I needed some help with my weight!

              

The Christmas picture is from December 2002.  The one next to it is from a conference in Washington DC that spring.  I am not sure what I weighed at that point, but it was probably around 200 pounds.  Neither are very flattering....

   Nothing like a night out with some friends in college.  I was probably around 195 pounds at this time...back in 2001.  I never felt overweight....until I was standing next to a skinny little sorority girl. 

  Boy howdy, did we have fun in those days!  I never let my weight slow me down, except at the gym!  I never felt fat!  So...when my BMI told me that I was obese, I was completely blown away.  I think that the guy in yellow was slightly blown away too!
