(almost) Before Pictures

So Peggy and I were talking on Thursday and we both agreed that it would've been nice for us to have taken Before pictures back on July 19th when we started kicking my butt into shape. Peggy would've liked them for her personal portfolio because we've made such progress so far (weigh-in #3 coming Tuesday!!). I would've liked them for posterity; however, I feel like I have plenty of fat-girl Before pictures, such as this one that a moron took while we were at the beach for Jen's bachelorette party:Anyway, later on Thursday my mom commented on "how skinny" I looked, and I told her thanks for flattering me, but that I still had a long way to go (at that point, almost exactly 50 lbs). I decided that since I'm still more "before" than "after" at this point (having lost 35 lbs, needing to lose 50 more), I'd go ahead and take some pictures now, calling them (almost) before pictures. I've sent them to Peggy, but I'm also posting them here, for the record.

So, 10/15/2010, 169.8 lbs:

...and from the side.

So it may not seem immediately obvious, but my posting these pictures on here should speak loudly of how much I trust you, readers. I love you all, and thank you so much for your support of me as I keep going at this!

For now,
BCB
