some progress pics

so i thought i'd share some progress pics with ya'll. here they are...

12 pounds down side and frontal shots:

and here is 36lbs down side and frontal shots:

 
as you can see, i'm wearing the same outfit in both pics - same shirt, same pants. only thing is in the first set of pics (12 lbs down) i had totally stretched out the shirt so that it would fit decent while i was wearing it. something i called "the shirt stretch". if a shirt was too tight when i put it on, i would pull my arms inside and stretch it out a bit so it wouldn't fit so tight. well, i did that a lot before... when i took the second set of pics, no shirt stretch was needed! woohoo!

the thing i notice the most about the pics and comparing them is that my butt looks way different in the second set. like not as round and it sits higher or something. lol
