Height: 5'8"
Default Old Pictures...I had no idea!
I have been heavy all my life, up and down. I remember my first diet happened in 5th grade when my dad offered me $100 if I lost a certain amount of weight in a certain time period. Well, it didn't work and here I am today. I joined 3fatchicks in 2001 (7 years ago! my time flies...)
Well, take a look at the picture below. The picture on the left was taken in 2003. Now, mind you, I started losing weight seriously this year and my starting point was 286. NONE of my pictures from the beginning of this year look like these taken from 12/03. I had to have been over 300 lbs and didn't even realize it.
The picture on the right was taken 10/24/08 (Halloween party - wearing my HUSBANDS military uniform! A victory all in itself!! - I have never been able to wear my husbands PANTS!!).

Anyway, I feel so excited. It's given me a rush to keep going!!!

You're so cute! (Both pictures) That must have been fun wearing his clothes! My husband is so skinny--can't wait until I can do that.
