There are really only a handful of pictures of me floating around because I never allowed my picture to be taken. I hated seeing myself on film because I looked so horrible. Here are a few pics that I was able to dig up.
This was me at my son's t-ball game about 5 yrs. ago, barely poured into a size 16 jeans.
This was me about 2 1/2 yrs. ago on Christmas day in a size 18, which was starting to get a little bit snug.
This is a close-up of my face about 2 yrs. ago with my God-Son, just barely in a size 18.

And this is me now!
This was me, 30 lbs. lighter about a month ago in my size 14 "Halfway-There Clothes."
And this was me on June 10, 2009, a total of 40 lbs. lighter in a size 12. Sorry it's so tiny. If you could see it up close you'd notice I have a really stupid expression on my face; one of the kids in my class snuck up on me and took it on the last day of school. Not sure why it's so much smaller than all the others though.
I'm still aiming to release about 20 - 25 more pounds so, hopefully soon there will be some AFTER pictures to go along with the BEFORE and DURING pictures.Last edited by contessa20; 06-14-2009 at 08:21 AM.

First, I think, that you were beautiful at any size. But it is not about value, but about what kind of body you prefer.
Congratulations. You look great!Life is supposed to be fun.:);) Our power is in our focus:D (from Abraham-Hicks workshops)

You may be lighter - but what I notice most is your eyes. You look so much happier now. Congrats on taking such good care of yourself :)

Wow you look beautiful. It's not just the weight loss, but your face is so alive and bright. Congratulations!! I'm sure your post will motivate and inspire many, including myself.

Thanks so much, guys. I feel so much more alive and full of energy now.
somelikeitraw: Actually, I'm in a 12 now. 
The halfway there pics were from about a month ago and those size 14 jeans are already too big. I bought a size 12 skirt a couple of weeks ago.
snoops: No, I cut my hair up to my bra strap around Thanksgiving '08 but you can't tell very well in either of the newer pics. I like it so much better now that it's short.Cris
