Trying to attach a photo

I'm actually a lil bit more slimmer and musclerly (if thats a word) than in the after pictures now just work alot and not alot of free time.

This is my husband. aka Mr. Skeeterbait.

There isn't that huge of a change..... but it has only been three weeks exactly in these photos. I think it is amazing how well he's doing. Really proud of him.

Down 100 pounds....with 40 or so to go! The running is finally paying off! :ohmy: I started at a size 22 or 24 pant, bought a misses 14 today!

I have NO idea how to put photos in, so let's hope this works.

Ok, I don't really have a true before, because I only had one and the jump drive it was on is not working properly. So, my before is actually 25 lbs down and my grandchild is 1 month old. The during is today and she is 7 months old. I am down an additional 50 lbs from the first picture and 3 jean sizes.
