Way back in June, I jumped on the scale and it rocketed over to 224 pounds. My resting pulse rate was way too high, about 95 to 100, blood pressure 130/75, cholesterol was nasty, triglicerides were even worse and most of my clothese were XLs and still fit too snug. Figuring that I wanted to live to the ripe old age of 108 and then be shot in the back of the head by a jealous husband, I decided to do something to help acheive that noteworthy goal. My spouse and I both opted to go on the South Beach Diet, and just 7 weeks ago, DNJ's entire family followed suit. Here are some before and after photos of me, 43 pounds lighter. DNJ is rapidly approaching the 40-pound weight loss milestone and I hope to have a photo of him to post in the near future.

After...

Six more pounds down and I'll be the same weight I was when I got married 42 years ago.
