My History in Pounds

1977-........
(me growing up) Edit Text
Hey, I was a pretty skinny kid growing up..
and apparently, a great dresser.
Yes, I had that whole matching thing down by 7. :)

There are a number of differing pictures I could show you
from 2003, and each one would look very different weight-wise.
The fact is that I gained so much weight (made it to 200 lbs)
and lost weight using WW and NutriSystem that year.
I fluctuated about 25 lbs over the course of 2003.
I chose to show you a pick of me in Oct. 2003, a week after my breast reduction, and not my most flattering pic.
In fact, I LOATHE this pic. But, it's me.
200 lbs

2004
Obviously, my wedding day that year. I had put on about 20 lbs several months before the wedding, (after I picked out my size 18 dress), and then frantically had to lose it to be 200 that day.
If you would have told me I would have been 200 lbs on my wedding day several years earlier, I wouldn't have believed you.
I was still a very happy bride despite that.
I think this picture is actually pretty flattering for my weight.  
200 lbs

2005
Arghhh.. and here we are, 2005.
Isn't always the nights when you think you look decent and then you take a picture and realize "oh my god, I'm THAT big??"
This is not a picture I care for, but it's accurately what I look like.
If you scroll up to my picture in 1997,
you won't even think I'm the same person!
250 lbs
