This picture was taken in Dec. 2005. I was 247lbs and just over 50% body fat! I hadn't discovered I enjoyed lifting yet, although being strong and having muscle was always comforting to me.

Uhhhh.... Yeah.

In this photo I'm 210 and in the middle of a plateau. Which thankfully I have broken! Body fat % was just barely over 40%.

This is my pic in my "delicious" shirt I got from the eDiet's event in Houston, Dec. 8, 2007. I'm quite bloated; I'm not used to traveling and it had some ugly affects on me. I was just happy to WEAR the shirt! :) SLOWWWWly, but surely!

235 lbs to 189 lbs.

These pants used to be SO tight ALL over me!

I say technically because those 20s were so tight I SHOULD have been in a 22!

yeah!

ugh on the stomach, but hopefully it will disappear in the end. :)

my back is starting to come in!

Still haven't begun official posing practice. This is to show my progress so far - less than 10 weeks out! Will I make it happen!?

2 weeks from my first comp. in the last picture. But it really shows you the journey. I'm not completely ready, but I'm going through this comp. for the experience. Mind set is also there.

1 week out from comp.
