I began my serious weight loss efforts in January of 2006, so December of 2005 was when I was at my highest weight, about 235 pounds. The "Before" picture(me in the blue shirt) is from the luau I went to at the Polynesian Cultural Center that month.
The "After" picture (me in the white shirt) is from the luau I went to two years later, December 2007, weighing about 190.
You can see the difference in how pudgy my face looks.
