Me now. Me at goal.

(Images created at My Virtual Model. I'm not brave enough to post the red one-piece bathing suit model from Prevention.com's Virtual Model.)

The first photo is very close to how I look now, except my hair is a little shorter. (Greg: Is it accurate?) The second photo is how I will probably look at goal weight (there wasn't an option for waist size) - X number of inches and 26 pounds less from today. I know I feel good at this goal weight. I may need to lose more depending on what my waist measurement is at that time (needs to be 32.5 inches or less).

According to weight charts, for my body's frame (large), I should weigh 15-20 pounds less than my goal weight. In the past, I've found it hard to maintain that weight but I'll see how it goes as the waist inches move lower.

I decided to be bravely honest and post a "Taking Care and Improvement Tracker" in the sidebar (update: moved to a separate page due to its length).

No; that doesn't look like you at all. You look much better than that!
