Photo Comparison

I was asked to get a picture up of myself to show off my awesome 30lb weight loss. I had Matt take my picture this week and am comparing it to one that was taken in early January where I was pretty much at my heaviest. And even though I haven't lost anymore weight over the last two weeks, I have still maintained my 30lbs through eating chocolate and peeps at Easter and having a number of meals out during our week in Mayo. I am happy with that!

I am grinning because I am fitting pants that I could not just a few months ago:

Here I am in January. I really notice the weight loss from my face in these pictures!

Holy shit!! What a difference! You can see it in your body as well... man oh man :) You're doing awesome!

Hey did you get my mail? I wrote back to you, are you giving me a taste of my own medicine and making me wait? haha

Kara, you look fantastic in that "after" picture! Way to go. You are a real trooper!
I battled the other battle for many years - I was too skinny and I can see on pictures from 10 years ago that I looked sickly...

That's awesome. You are looking fantastic. You are right - it really shows in your face. I see it in the rest of your body too. Way to go!

BBQ is coming up - I will try to keep it relatively diet friendly. I will let you know the date as soon as I figure it out.
