Oh yeah, I posted those other photo's you wanted to see under the "Other Hobbies" post. :-D

BTW, I love your Yoda quote in your signature! ;-)

check out your local weight watchers or go online---if you think you have good eating habits ---you'll see how much you might be overeating. I thought I had reasonable eating patterns and it was truly frightening to see how much food I was consuming .... tracking my intake is pretty shocking how little you need to feel refueled and satisfied... it's so weird.

since your a married man/ I'm a married gal--- I'll keep my personal assesment of your physique to myself
;)

Natalie, that's great! I'm happy for you that it's going so well! :D

I 'm glad your on your way to being healthier---although I agree that you don't need much to improve on cause you are quite the hottie <-------- (that's what I would say if I wasn't married)
;) :D

more self portraits from you...you were going somewhere with the lighting and headshots you did a while back...more please (just a pseudo interest in the self portraits---- us girls just wanna get another look at you :D ) you blushing yet?

thanks for looking and sharing your goals

---

Yeah, I think I'm blushing a little :o

Anyway, keep to it, you're doing awesome and you look so happy too!

I've been a regular at the In and Out drive thru here.... Double Double with Cheese, an extra cheese burger and a chocoloate shake. No fries... I'm watching my figure... expand ;)
Seriously though.. I'd rather have a second hamburger than an order of fries. I swear there is something in that burger. They are are too dang good.

I will treat myself to a self portrait when I lose the next 15 pounds(halfway mark of sorts)

it's good to look at a pic and finally see myself again...even with no make up it looks a heck of a lot better than with make up in december...enjoy ;) wholy crappola I have a single chin again.

hope it inspires some of you out there that are struggling with weight...

disclaimer- this in no way portrays my views about weight and what's wrong or right to weigh---it just simply is my own hoorah for sticking to something and feeling healthier.

Well, first of all, everyone looks better with a little cutie like your daughter in the picture. Secondly, congratulations, I think you have hit on a powerful device beyond a scale and our pants size to measure progress in something than can be ard to measure week to week. Lastly, I wonder if you could start a side business offering this service to all the other folsk in Weight Watchers. :D

Keep It Up!
Brian

Congratulations Nat! Great challenges met - and glad you're victorious! Your photos certainly show your perseverance. Nice!

BTW, I miss you not being around - I know we all do. Thanks for keeping us up to date - and for peeking in and posting when you can.

You're an inspiration Natalie! :cool:

Well done. Nat !
I looked at an old photo of me, I reckon I might be twice what I was :o

You're inspiring me to do something about it !
Salad for lunch yesterday, fruit today, little improvements in the diat (like no chocolate).

#1 before - Educare exhibition, Sydney (with a tin of Toohey's)
#2 after - inspecting the exhaust and engine layout on the V6 roadster

:) thanks for sharing the photos...glad I could help to inspire...you can still eat similar foods just control the portions....start out eating half of what you normally eat....glad you are doing somethign good towards your health...congrats ;)

I've been a regular at the In and Out drive thru here.... Double Double with Cheese, an extra cheese burger and a chocoloate shake. No fries... I'm watching my figure... expand ;)

Wish my figure expanded as nicely as yours :D

Great Work Nat....As one who is also doing WW and who needs to lose much much more...I am always happy to hear about and support anyone who succeeds at weight loss. I started in April and have lost about 25 lbs so far...but as I said...I've just scratched the surface. Keep up the good work and as others have said....PORTION CONTROL and lots of regular exercise...
Congrats....Ken
