on weight loss and lifestyle change

The before pic is me in July 2005. The after pic is me at the end of October, 2006.
The secret? I didn't starve myself. I didn't base my food choices on what has the lowest calories. I focused on packing in nutrient density, portion control, and above all, ENJOYING MY FOOD and making every bite count. I also exercise five times a week now on my elliptical trainer. My goal was to change my lifestyle, not to lose weight (although I suspected it would be a side benefit). I eat a reasonable number of calories, exercise nearly daily, and I still eat dessert most of the time. You can see how well I eat just by looking at this blog.

You're awesome! :D
I never thought you were large or anything to begin with, but when you see the difference in the pictures, you definitely look great and more in shape now!
