A lot of people have been emailing and asking me to post before and after pictures from my time on the Weight Not program.  I've been hesitant to post them because I made the mistake of not taking a before photo the day I started on the program.  I went back through some old photos and grabbed one from a year ago on my 30th birthday.  I figured it will show the transition I've made over the last year.  Since starting with Weight Not around Halloween I've dropped 40+ pounds.  Drumroll please...

Before:  This picture was taken at my 30th birthday party.  The lovely ladies are on my SOBO football team with me.  Yes, the matching shirts were an accident.  My jeans were a size 38x32.

After: I should have shaved before the picture but I completely forgot.  I think you get the idea, though. My jeans here are a 34x32 and I'm having trouble keeping them up.

This goes out to all of the college students thinking of studying abroad and their parents.  I had a chance to chat with Jason Fenner from the website Abroad101.com.  It is an incredible resource that can answer just about every question you could have about going abroad.  It has student reviews, info for parents, scholarship opportunities and more.  Now is the time students start planning for summer or fall trips so I wanted to post this interview for all of you. 

Snowboarder, Shaun White, never ceases to amaze me, or anyone else for that matter.  After spraining his ankle last week we weren't even sure if he would make a run for a 5th straight gold medal at this weekend's Winter X-Games.  But he came out and rocked Aspen pulling in a perfect score.  Watch his unbelievable run below.
