Before/(almost) After

It pains me to post this before picture...but we're all about honesty here, right?  So...this is me at the beginning of Season 5 (September 2011):

I barely recognize myself in this before picture.  I keep thinking, "Wow...I really looked like that."  It's horrifying.

Here is my after (almost) picture:

This is a post-workout picture...so you'll have to forgive the clothes and hair.  :) 

I still have some more pounds to lose, but I'm in shock when I look at this picture.  I normally hate pictures of myself, but I have to say that I'm super proud of this one. 

We're more than 1/2 way through the competition.  Use your time wisely!  Work out, eat healthy....you can DO this!!!
