Before Pictures at 640 pounds
These were taken a couple of years ago. I'm somewhere between 640 and 670 pounds. I'll have some new ones taken when I reach 590 and each additional 50 pounds off.
Hi Morphy, just wanted to say I'm following your blog, and I really love your posts so far. You have such a wonderful smile, it's nice to get the mental pic to connect to with your posts! Thank you for sharing your journey and I'm wishing you the best of luck!
Hi! Just wanted to say that you're such an inspiration. You have a long road ahead of you, and you are brave enough to hold yourself accountable to the world wide web! You inspire me to work harder and publicly commit to my own life goals. We can do this!
Morphy, I'm finally reading your blog and seeing your picture for the first time. What a beautiful woman you are. Brave and determined. I have a disability that I deal with too, so many of your struggles with doctor's perceptions, daily living, family worries, keeping a health journal - I can relate. *hugs* Katherine (Katylit)
