Biggest Loser: Halfway there!

Today marks the halfway point for my workplace's Biggest Loser contest. As of this evening at 5, I had lost 18 pounds! I am now lighter than my high school weight (senior year at least), although there is still a long way to go. My goal is closer to my middle school weight.

I did convince Nate to take some progress pics (possibly out of guilt, because it's my birthday and he has yet to get me anything--even a card!), so I'll share them a little later this evening. and I'll share them now. Be warned, after 18 pounds, it still ain't pretty. I think my baby pooch sticks out even worse than before! Also, my back and butt look weird in the profile because I tucked my shirt in to try to capture my general outline. Apparently Nate didn't think to tell me this (or to focus the camera, for that matter). Don't get me started on him. That's an whole other post--nay, a whole other blog. Here are the pics (I included the previous pics side by side for comparison).
