Before

Not the most flattering of photos, I know. The empire-waisted dress just doesn't suit me...or maybe it's because I made it myself. Either way, you're given full view of how heavy I was. This was taken in July 2004.

Taken December 2004. I was about 237 here.

During

Taken April 26, 2005. I'm about 219 here, and my waist (which thankfully was rather small to begin with) seems to be a bit narrower than before. I don't know why I felt the need to hold a flower. :P

Taken May 13, 2005. I'm still at 219, with no noticeable measurement changes. *rolls eyes*

Ab "Fab"?

I was sitting at my computer the other day, checking something online before I started my workout, and I reached down to see that that nasty bit of flab is still hanging around my middle. Rather than sit there and feel disgusted, however, I decided...to take a picture of it. ;) And then use it to compare myself later as I slim down more. So here we go!

Taken May 16, 2005. Ugh. This is embarrassing. LOL
