Welcome to Steel Curves...the sequel. Before I tell you why this is the sequel, let me first show you...

July 2001

November 2001

I first say these pictures in January of 2002. My sister-in-law took both of them; the one on the left when we were visiting her in Houston over the summer, and the one on the right when she was visiting us Thanksgiving. She mailed them to us in January and I was in SHOCK! Something had to be done, and now.

I began my journey with THE Firm videos. After about 4 weeks I decided to give low carb a try. The science made sense and I was having great success losing weight...but...

I was getting smaller, but I still wasn't happy with my shape. I was still a "pear" just a smaller pear. I moved from the videos to the Body For Life HIIT and Weight program. BAM! That was my master combo. The pear was leaving and the hourglass was returning.

The two pictures below are my "transformation" pics.These are the stats and dates.

In 6 months I went from a size 16 to an 8. I'd lost 14.5 net lbs. By net I mean, I lost 19.63 lbs of body fat and gained 5.13lbs of lean muscle mass. I was fit, healthy, and happy. Sounds like a happily ever after doesn't it? Well let's enjoy these pics before this turns into a Stephen King movie!
