Proof is in the Pants

This week was not as great as last week in the weigh in however I did not do as well this week on the diet as I did last week so seems fair.  Despite binging one day I still lost 2 pounds and am now down to 264lbs!  That is only 9 pounds from the weight on my driver's license which was issued my junior year in High School so not too bad. 

I took a picture - the stereotypical type of a dieter - back in August of last year with my shirt off.  No one other than my wife has seen it.  At the time the caption I added the day the picture was taken indicated that I was at 284 pounds.  That means from August to December of last year I put on 24 pounds.  I wish I had taken a picture at my heaviest but I am not willing to return to that weight for the kodak moment.

I had Maria take another shirtless picture of me this morning and I have it all ready to post just not sure I am ready to be that far exposed to all of you (several co-workers read).  So after Maria left I took a clothed picture - in my new size 40 pants - for posting. 

I am going to open this one up to public vote again though - NEW POLL - should I post my shirtless, stereotypical dieting pictures for all to see?  I can post them as a post (if you come to the blog you will see them) or as a "before and after page" - allowing only those brave enough to click will see them. 

The decision lies in your index finger - click and vote now.
