Deborah Then and Now . . .


January 17, 2007

Weight 114 down 188.5 pounds

Me with my younger brothers, Tim (left) and Jim (right).

February 20, 1999 

My first weigh-in (this time around) was March 3, 1999 . . . I weighed 302.5.  In the few weeks prior to that, I piddled around with a carbohydrate addict's diet, and guesstimate that I may have weighed as much as 10 pounds heavier than when this picture was taken.

November 4, 2006Weight 114, down 188.5 poundsErm, the li'l sliver of belly is unintentional . . . dang low-rise pants!  Yes, I *do* have saggy skin, but it's not noticeable in this photo.  To see my saggy skin photos, click here:
 

October 31, 2006

My favorite day of the year!

Weight, 114, down 188.5 pounds

"Paging Captain Jack Sparrow!  Jack Sparrow to the white courtesy phone, please!"

Captain Morgan photo!

"Mom, raise your knee and you can be Captain Morgan!"  That's what my son said while we were taking photos.  I didn't know what Captain Morgan *was* until he explained <---naive!  I have since seen the label on a bottle.

It's a little blurry (camera problems), but this is one of the few times you'll ever see me showing off a li'l leg (not my normal state; lookin' a bit stiff as well).  Yes, I *still* have saggy skin, but my leg folds are hidden by the skirt folds, LOL!

DS is wearing one of his actual karate gis.  It hides a badly broken leg that he injured a month and a half previously (rod in his leg; no cast, jussssssssssst to the weight-bearing stage in this photo).
