Viv Before and After

Here's a before and after photo. (btw how do you get the photo to appear without having to go to a link?)

First photo is about 8 years ago when I was 217 lbs. Second photo is a couple of weeks ago at 157 (I'm 5'8"). I took a selfie just before I was going out dancing!

I'm 70 this year, I still can't believe it. Thank you Dr. McDougall for giving me a new life!

Ras, Yes you have hope, lot's of hope. I never worry about a recurrence now because I know that I'm eating the best possible way to have a long, healthy life. Good for you for eating this way, it's so great.

Oh.my.goodness! You are absolutely STUNNING! I need to hang up that photo for life goals: look like Viv when 70.

I know it’s not just about appearances, but you radiate health. You look so full of life. Again, stunning!

Hmm, I couldn't get the image tag (Img above) to work. Maybe PM Amy (amandamechele) and ask her - I know she's been posting pictures in the weigh-in thread.

First photo is about 8 years ago when I was 217 lbs. Second photo is a couple of weeks ago at 157 (I'm 5'8"). I took a selfie just before I was going out dancing! [/quote]

Congrats! In your current pic you look like a movie star, specifically one of the ladies who I see in a lot of Hallmark Channel movies, Barbara Niven. :nod:

Thanks everyone for your very positive comments. Veggie Sue I am thrilled if you think I look like Barbara Niven! Well gotta tuck into my dinner of Success brown rice mixed in with kidney beans, corn, tomatoes and carrots. So delicious!

Hiya Viv. You look super. 70! Congrats. Here is how to do the embedded image, only get rid of the spaces between the i m g so it reads img and leave all those other characters, like [ and / and ] in. Best, Henry
