Step Aside Jerry

To Subway sandwich lovers/makers/etc:  Jerry is old news friends!  

When we first came down to Dominica, as some of you may know, Keith weighed in at a solid 275 lbs.  He gained a few of those pounds after we where married while doing undergrad, but really packed the rest on the few months before we moved out here.  As of now, he's running around a bit skinnier! (ok, a TON skinnier!)  I am amazed at how much this man's weight can fluctuate!!  Here's a chart of his weight, then you can check out the  pictures.   

July 2006 --(when we got married)   225 lbs.

Jan 2007--  235 lbs.

June 2007--   250 lbs.   (at the start of scout camp)

August 2007 --  240 lbs.  (at the end of scout camp)

December 2007-- 275 lbs.  (after working an office job 8 hrs. a day plus 2 hours of commuting----he sat a lot)

June 2008-- 245 lbs. --6 months after getting to Dominica (the first 20 lbs or so just fell off of him, due to all of the walking.  I think that gave him the motivation to really get to work and loose the rest)

Dec. 2008-- 215 lbs. 

June 2009-- 205 lbs!!!!   (he started doing the P90X program in March and it's really helped him tone up and drop those last 10 pounds!)

 Can you believe that?  He really has worked hard, but that is a lot of weight!  He has lost 70 pounds since we came down to Dominica!!  He just got his glasses as well, and he looks completely different.  Take a look........

Our first week in Dominica- Jan. 08
March of 2009 ----------------- June of 2009
Jan 08------------- 2 weeks ago at the beach
(he's wearing the same sunglasses in these pictures, but they look different because of the extreme difference in his face)



And then Keith with his glasses on.   He looks like a completely different person than the man who came to the island (even to me)!!
 Good job Keith-ers for working so hard!!

Just out of curiosity... and because I'm very out of the loop... How tall are the two of you?

That is a great accomplishment, Keith! Way to go! I think you should send your "sunglasses" pics to P90X, for sure.
