I found out my scale was off by 2 pounds today, which makes me already at goal!!

I'm going to post my story in a little bit. In the meantime, here are some pictures of my weight loss journey! (Beware, dial-up users, there are A LOT of pictures!)

I just wanted to show my love...


And HERE is a BIG, SINCERE smile:


I had a great time on New Year's 2006 and at my HW, I saw these pics and did not even realize how chubby I had gotten! The following pictures are of me at 175 pounds:



I was only smiling because I was next to my girlfriend:


I rarely allowed people to take pictures of me at my HW. However, after meeting the members of one of my favorite bands, The Cliks, pictures had to be taken. This was in June 2007, at the start of my weight loss journey:


After I lost 30 pounds (145), I really started developing some confidence AND outstanding muscletone:


I was pretty happy about that:


Since I found out today that I hit my goal weight, I had a great love affair with my camera.

You, my dear, are looking simply gorgeous! And you earned every one of those photos with all your hard work. Look how much your face has changed -- from a round moon to delicate, sculpted cheekbones. And you have that cute little pointed chin now.

You've come a long, long way and I hope you can look back on your before photos and see what wonderful changes you've accomplished. You're young and full of energy -- and now you can live your life to its very fullest, without the burden of your excess weight. Nothing can hold you back now!

You say that you love 3FC ... I hope you know that you've earned a very special place in all of our hearts too.
