I started my journey on March 3, the picture on the left was taken that day. I started with just changing my food choices, I didn't pay too much attention to calories or the scale. Instead of using these crutches I turned to pictures and NSV's. The picture on the right was taken May 15 and the difference was 10 pounds.
My diet was set by my own basic rules: don't eat anything that requires a nutrition label. I was flexible with that; cottage cheese, Dave's Killer bread, and Trader Joe's Goddess dressing.
The day that I took that second picture was the day I started incorporating exercise into my life again. So far I've dropped 12" all around but no weight, no pictures yet.

    Well...it's too bad the picture got cut off. Anyhow, the on the right was taken a lot closer than the previous but you can see that the fat roll is gone and the major back fat hump is going away.
