    And my turn for my before and during pics...

    Yeah, it's taken a lot of nerve to post there because I'm so self concious, but everyone here is inspiring me so much, I feel it's only right Maybe it'll boost me a bit too!

    Here are my before pictures, taken summer 2004 apart from the one in the turquoise shirt, which was taken last month. It's the picture that made me realize I needed to start atkins again and lose weight! I went out to Turkey to work, and when my colleagues and I got back, they showed me their pictures, including that one, and I wanted to cry. I didnt realize how much weight I'd put on.

    And here's a not-so-lovely pic of me in a bikini (cover the children's eyes, no need to scare them! lol) the first at 170, the second at 150.
    It's amazing that I can see a huge difference between the two! My thighs aren't as big, but they're still big, my waist has a lot less fat around it. And I look happier lol. Most of the weight I lost was backfat, which you can't see in that pic. But yeah...the pic!


    There you go! Hopefully in a few weeks time, I can update with newer pics

                  haha, well I hope so! I'm back out to Florida at the end of February, it'll be nice to go swimming or to a waterpark. I've never been in all the time I've spent out there lol.

                  But I'm meant to be going out to Egypt to work something this month/next month. When I went to Turkey last month, I didn't go in the pool at all, and I felt so left out. Maybe next time I can join in lol
