A Transformation Is Happening

......and it's about darn time!!!  Less than a year ago Brian posted this video up from Christmas of last year and I about died when I realized that he posted it.  Here I am a little less than a year later I find myself posting it again!  It was me at my absolute heaviest weight I've ever been.  It took me watching that video to realize how bad my weight had gotten.  I was put on a medication in May of last year that caused me (with my help of course) to gain nearly 40 lbs over the course of just a few months.  I was on it for a year and am now off of it and am finally able to shed some of that weight.  At my heaviest I was about 158 lbs (maybe a little more, but I wasn't exactly a fan of weighing myself then).  Gradually after that Christmas video was taken I started losing a pound here and there naturally without any much effort on my part.  I lost about 10 lbs that way.  I finally started really focusing on my diet at the end of September and have lost an additional 11 lbs making me now 137 lbs as of this morning.  That's a 21 lb difference from less than a year ago and to celebrate I'm posting an "after" picture.  I still would need to lose about 18 more pounds before I'd be at my ideal BMI, but for now I'm celebrating a half way mark.  :)

And without further adieu, my before "video." (I didn't have a picture that really captured it as well)

This is me down probably about 5 lbs at Jeffrey's b-day party in May...............

AND.......TODAY!
