To the left is a picture from a few years ago. I was over 270 then, too. This shot is on the cover of my home study course at http://www.HypnoticMarketingStrategy.com As soon as the course sells out, I am putting a new picture of me on the cover of it -- a pic of me thin, slim, and ohhhhh so sexy.

  I'm embarassed, but that's me on the left, at over 270, when I began my fitness program on July 27, 2004. Sigh. I was 50 years old, successful in all other areas, but a failure at weight-loss. Notice I'm not smiling. And notice where I'm standing: right beside the refigerator. How symbolic.

But below is me at about 215 in December of 2004 after a trip to Maui, Hawaii. The shirt is a 100% silk, hand-made, hand-painted, expensive work of art. No wonder I'm smiling. I'm starting to feel like GQ model.

 To the left I am getting much smaller and much fitter. This was right before Christmas, 2004.

  To the left is me training with Frank Zane January, 2005, three-time winner of the Olympia award. He's a legend in body building. Note I'm starting to be about his size.

 And to the left is my beautiful Nerissa, taken in March 2005. At this point I'd lost over 60 pounds. And yes, I feel grrrrrrreat!  (BTW, Nerissa took all the photos on this site.)

And here I am (below) in August 2005, now at 189 and feeling like Hercules.

And here's another one, from August 2005, after losing 80 pounds. (!)

And this one (below) was taken March, 2006.
