Photos - Before, During and After
 

This is a picture of me from January 2003. It definitely shows where I started with this diet. From here and the bare belly shots taken during my diet, you can see the progress. Most importantly, it shows that the belly size was a long-term thing. It got that way, and stayed that way over years of mismanaging my food intake.

The beauty of South Beach is that it doesn't take years to undue the damage and begin to see real results. It doesn't seem to be helping the gray beard thing though...

Here is where I started - 43.25 inches around that sucker! Same day - side view.
May update picture - 5.5 inches gone now. Side view of same day in May.
July - Side view - the goal has been met! July - Front view
July - side view - Suck it in... By the way, these are the 32" waist shorts I bought a few weeks ago. They no longer fit very well. July - front view - still not a six-pack, but no longer a quarter-barrel :-)
