I kept thinking there was something wrong with my iPad because your pictures were headless... I am glad to know that you did that on purpose.

I am really jealous of your food pictures.

Awesome proof that this WOE works.

Potatohead ~ thank you!! :-D

Your posts have inspired me greatly and really showed me I could keep things relaxed and as simple as I wanted (and that's often pretty simple!).

John, ha!

Yes, that photo cropping was intentional (but remember the days when you'd have to wait to get your film developed to find out the family photographer did the same thing accidentally?).

If the food wasn't as good as it is, I probably wouldn't have an after pic to post at all. :unibrow:

Thanks!!

Kind of a fun update. I've been avoiding labwork for a few years, but recently had some done.

Total cholesterol is 112.
LDL cholesterol is 51.
HDL cholesterol is 45.
Triglycerides are 82.

In 2000, my total cholesterol was 168.
In 2005, it was 182.
I imagine when I started McDougalling around January 2012, it was at least 182...

I realize these are just markers, but wanted to share. :-D

Congrats Sweetpea! You look amazing. I've been doing this program for quite awhile and have gone from 176 to 153. I want to lose another 15lbs and seeing this post has "reenergized" me. Thanks again!
