I avoided cameras for a long time, so when I went looking for a before picture, there wasn't much of a selection. Can't believe I didn't purposely take one lol. Ah well. Here's the few that I found. Hope this works :/

The first one is me at my heaviest, 262lbs/119kgs. Notice my hand in the bag of chips lol.

The second one is me at 105kgs, I believe...

Here are my before and now photos. I cannot even tell that I've lost over 50lbs! It's very depressing for me to see these photos, not to mention that it is a HUGE step to post these on the internet. I can see my weight loss in my face and in the clothing sizes that I'm able to wear now, nontheless, I don't like looking at these photos.

Before picture May 1998 - After picture taken Aug 2005

My before/after pic first one day before surgery-May 16, 2004...second Labor Day weekend 2005 at the Tijuana Bash! Down 98 lbs!

Speaking of faces, I thought this was an interesting before-and-after. The one on the left was taken in 2001, and the one on the right a couple of weeks ago. Even I think I look younger now! :)
