I recently saw some pictures taken of me last summer, and I was really stunned at how heavy I looked. The inspiration for changing our WOE was my husband's diabetes, but when I saw those pictures of me it really hit home for the first time that my husband isn't the only one in the family who has benefited from Dr. McDougall. Although my weight loss isn't as impressive as some of the folks on this board, nevertheless it has made a huge difference to my sense of well being. I'm so grateful to have been able to benefit from the information given for free on this website. I didn't even buy any of Dr. McDougall's books until a few months after we started McDougalling!
I've lost a total of 18 pounds, I'm 5'3" and weigh 115 pounds which is exactly what I weighed at 16! Not bad for 47
Here are a few awful before shots and one taken today.
My husband was my partner in crime... pass the cheetos!

That's me on the left, with the huge arms and big old muffin top. I actually believed that my arms were getting bigger because of my age. Nothing to do with being fat

Okay, that's enough of the depressing shots. Here is one of me and then one of my husband since he was in one of the before shots. We've lost a total of 65 pounds.
