As loathe as I am to have to post my “before” picture, I guess the “after” picture can only truly be appreciated by seeing just how successful my journey has been thus far.  So here goes!

While I’ve reached my original goal of 35 pounds, I guess in reality my goal was always stated as 35-40 pounds.  I’ve decided to get to a nice “number” I’m going to try for 3 more pounds before I begin my transition off of the plan.  That will take me to 38 pounds total.  This took me 5-1/2 real calendar months, with a 3 week European vacation in the middle.

Now for the rest of the journey – keeping the weight off!
