By nienuh]]> You look great! And I'm going to use your spinning thingy to make one of myself now that i'm pregnant. After that, I'm definitively going to use your site as motivation to become skinny.

By Heather]]> Wow, way to go. It's amazing to see how much your body has changed even just in the time since I've been reading.

I don't envy the new clothes budget you must have to factor in each month-- but otherwise *jealous*.

Many kudos!

By Kalyn]]> Just amazing! I think you look much more toned than the projected photo. Need to get working on the pilates myself!

Yes, do go for the last 20 pounds. Obviously you look fine right now, but there's something about looking downright "thin" that really changes your outlook on life. I've been fat and I've been thin, and thin is definitely more empowering. And that is what it's all about, how the way you look affects what you can do with your life.

Can't wait to see you on Oprah some day.

By JEM]]> Wow, you look amazing. Its crazy to me that you are 180...you look much smaller. I guess it is the exercise. Congrats! It is awesome to see how much a difference even 10 pounds makes! Thanks for the motivation once again!

PS. Is the estimator still around? I would like to try it.

By Joni]]> What I like so much about the difference between your projected self and your current self is your posture. Your current is standing up so proud and tall; you're way more confident than your projected self could even imagine you being! Keep it up, girl!

Laura commented on 'Progress Photo: 360 degrees of 180'

Mon, 11 Jun 2007 13:25:56 -0500

By Laura]]> Wow, great picture. You look so cute! That is amazing how close you look to the projection, but the reality is much perkier, not just the butt. =) And, those last 20 pounds, I totally understand. Pockets of fat around the middle, the freakin' muffin top, and saddlebags with heavy thighs--there's at least 30 pounds of fat on my body that others can't really "see" but it's there. Thank God we all wear clothes and don't walk around nekkid.

One other thing...I know you were having issues with a new book title...but no matter what you call it...I think you should have your before and after on the cover....that alone would make me buy the book...it's the same reason I pick up magazines with weight loss before & after photos on the cover!!!

By Kimberly]]> I agree with Shelly's suggestion wholeheartedly. Honest to goodness before and after photos (not airbrushed...not slathered in makeup and hair products you'd never use in real life...) would be a big hit, I think. =)

You look amazing! Thanks once again for the inspiration! I got down to 189 today! Saying goodbye to the 190's forever!

I've enjoyed reading through your archives (got the tip from mamacita chilena over at ohquepasa.blogspot.com). You write very well and just about sentence is entertaining. Love your honesty too.

By Miss Music]]> As a lurker who has been reading for awhile but has yet to comment, I just wanted to chime in and say how wonderful you look! I lost over 90 pounds from 2002 to 2004, but have put about 20 back on while working on my graduate degree. Your blog has inspired me to get back on track with healthy living. And I can't wait for the book!

By shinypenny]]> Always so cool to see these. I'm thinking that in a perfect world your book would have one of those holographic images on front, so that as you tilt the book from left to right, the reader would see you go from fatter to thinner. The world is not perfect, but at least we have the internets.

e commented on 'Progress Photo: 360 degrees of 180'

Mon, 11 Jun 2007 18:46:53 -0500

By e]]> I concur re before after pics on cover.

Maybe your fat self facing your thin self and staring into each other's eyes, but with a sly smile on your thin self's face!

Or maybe your thin self can be facing toward your fat self, but w/ face turned towards camera.

And ... I say YES to major makeup and hair for cover!

By Marla]]> INCREDIBLE. You look wonderful, little miss perky butt. And you are still wondering why guys hit on you...?

You know, it really makes me realize how far from reality our conception of women's weight is. You are 180. You look like-- I would have guessed 145, 150. I always say it's because the only time we read a woman's weight is on the back of the centerfold, where they all claim to be 108 pounds. And you know everything they say there is TRUE.

By d]]> I agree that red is your color.

Also, I turned you around, and your ass is about 800% smaller than at 190. It's almost scary how it shrunk and you only lost 10 lbs. Wow -- it looks great.

Natalie commented on 'Progress Photo: 360 degrees of 180'

Tue, 12 Jun 2007 21:15:10 -0500

By Natalie]]> I'm always 1 post behind in my comments here... Your face & hands look so slim in the pasta review post. On your progress photos you can really see it when your face is forward. I am a giddy, excited Pasta Queen fan. But I wanted to ask: How often do you do the Pilates video?

PastaQueen commented on 'Progress Photo: 360 degrees of 180'

Wed, 13 Jun 2007 10:48:11 -0500

By PastaQueen]]> Natlie - My hands are *way* smaller. I have a size 10 ring that fit on my ring finger when I started that now fits on my thumb. Thank God I'm not married or else I'd had to have had my rings resized about 5 times by now. Also, I do the Pilates about every other day or every 3rd day. Basically about 3 times a week. I've also gotten to a point now where I can do it without the video (frightening, I know). I'm thinking I need to switch things up a bit and learn a new routine so I don't get bored of that one.

By lola]]> oh, Pastaqueen. YOU'RE KILLING ME. you told me about your blog while doing tequila shots this weekend. now i'm addicted. (to the blog, not tequila.) i haven't gotten any work done in a week because all i do is read your blog all day long. (and you're killing the people i work with too- they keep walking in and catching me reading it, and now they're all hooked.) and i'm only at april 2006! i still have another 14 months! DAMN YOU, PASTAQUEEN!

p.s. you look totally fabulous. and you're totally inspiring- and not just because of the weight loss factor, but how much discipline and determination it takes to stop talking about something and just do it. i'm going to start doing things that i've been meaning to do forever too. as soon as i'm done reading this blog.
