I had just turned 39, and this was my first day of chemo. No bra, and a seriously unflattering picture, but you really don't care on chemo day. I probably weighed around 171-174 here. My highest weight ever was about 179, which was at the end of treatment (chemo and radiation).

Still have about 15 pounds to go. It'll come off my waist and breasts primarily. Can see my unlovely love handles here. My midsection is really soft. The weight is slowly coming off, though.

Taken a little over a month after joining bodybuilding.com. Changed to a pescetarian diet, cut back the carbs, and hit the gym. These pants were TIGHT in May! Yesterday I dropped them in a charity bin! Happy to be making progress.
