Before Pictures - Highest Weight

From 255 pounds to 265 pounds

These are from Thanksgiving 2003, and from a trip in 2004 to see my sister (and my niece & nephew!!). That’s my niece in the little ladybug costume — she wanted to go on a walk in it And my nephew, the little blondie. That’s my sister with me too — I have one sister who went au naturelle and the other who is actress in L.A. Talk about two worlds that never meet!

Plateau (2006-2007) 180 pounds

These are from two separate trips to visit my parents. They moved to Idaho — such a difference from California!! It’s gorgeous there. That’s my tiny 88 lb mom walking up ahead of me, and my dad in front. I was sooo happy to wear that black jacket in the picture by the river. I bought it too small, and finally fit into it!

Lowest Weight (since Highschool!!)

172 pounds, January 2008

This is from this past New Year’s — We went on a vacation to the Florida Keys.

Gained!! Starting Over / Current Weight

198 pounds

And I didn’t even notice until the scale said, “HEY YOU!!!!!”

These are from just a few weeks ago (end of July 2008), when my mom came to visit me. We went to a Botanical Garden, and she wouldn’t stop taking pictures. That’s my new little kitten asleep in my arms. She’s already sooo much bigger!
