The before and after thread.

[Kelly J. P.]

Hopefully FFS will pick up where I've left off and make things more bearable! 

I'm not really sure what you would be doing with FFS. As far as I can tell, you're pretty cute.

I hope it goes well for you, but I think you could probably do without if you wanted.

[Mayra Viamonte]

I like very much the way you're headed, you're very feminine and delicate looking and has a special style about you.

Before (around about 2009-2010)


Today (December 24th 2012) I was rocking a french look, as Caleb would say. The beret has grown on me in the past couple of days.

Thank you, Catherine. I am very happy about the progress. Thrilled to bits that I have come as far as I have. Never would have expected anywhere near this two years ago. But, proud? I can't say I have much to be proud about. I owe most of it to hormones and nature. I just came along for the ride. The beginning of the journey was more than a little bit harrowing and nerve wracking, but this past year has been absolutely amazing. The difference between driving down a heavily forested mountain and nice, smoothly paved roads.

I need to follow your diet plan Deanna, I have a belly that needs to be slimmed down. my arms... well that probably wont happen since it's all muscle. but if I can slim down, I'll be really happy. But you made amazing progress to drop so many sizes in so short a time. Well done ^_^

My diet plan is nothing special. I simply started eating smaller portions and more regularly (three meals a day, rather than one or two), cut down on desserts and soda. Perhaps the biggest thing was getting rid of the stress and working 80-100 hours per week and feeling good about myself - for once. I believe hormones also had a major impact. I lost a LOT of muscle mass as well as fat. I've also been walking a lot this past year, since losing my car. I walk an average of 20-40 miles per week. Nature and proper hormones has done most of the work.

Deanna <3

Most of the muscle is gone now. Scrawny arms and legs. Flat butt though.

Keaira, quite a transition thus far which is always encouraging to others as they ponder the possibilities for their own lives. Like the commercial said, "You've come a long way baby!"

Guy mode? Really? If you say so...

Jessica,
     Looks like you lost a ton of weight since 2008, good going! You have a long oval face type rather that a short, round oval which is nice enough. You'll want to continue the facial hair deforestation and consider a hair style with bangs to diminish the height of your forehead. Eventually a little FFS to get the nose recontoured and probably some other tweaking I can't pick up on right now. But you do have a nice platform to begin with. Hope you don't mind a well meant critique coming from a friend who has a bona fide mutt face. You'll notice you don't see it in my avatar for good reason.

Lol, That's what my BFF Melissa keeps saying. She keeps saying that I need to quit fighting it and just go with it. She's probably right...

Thank you for the constructive critique. I definitely want my nose redone.  I can probably get away without tweaking the brow bossing but it would look better to have it done at the same time of a hairline advancement and mini face-lift to open my eyes more.  Thanks for the compliments!  :-)
