The first is from January 2006, the second from January of this year. While I still have a face like a misshapen potato, it's not nearly as bulbous nor as frighteningly maudlin. So using all the scientific projection capabilities I have at my disposal, by analysing the difference between those two images I can accurately predict that by the time I've reached my target weight I'll look something like this:


What? It could happen...

So that's the first chapter of my blog. Self-indulgent, narcissistic and borderline introspective. Everything a blog should be!

It's going to take more than weight loss to look like the guy below, about 15 hours a day in the tanning salon too!

You look night and day different in your two pictures, absolutely incredible!!! You barely look like the same person. You have 4 more months until the wedding. If you step up your exercise routine (especially in the cardiovascular department), and count your calories to maintain a caloric deficit, then you can easily lose 5lbs a month for the next 4 months, and probably a bit more. I always use events where I know pictures will be taken as motivation to step up my efforts. In fact, I have trimmed an extra 5lbs of fat this past month knowing that I will be on the beach in a week and have an outdoor poolside company outing in early May.
