Here’s a couple: [Me, **Suburban Plankton** and **Ledzepkid** at the beginning of the year](http://s124.beta.photobucket.com/user/rhiannon8404/media/IMG_0334.jpg.html)
[Me and **Ledzepkid** in September](http://s124.beta.photobucket.com/user/rhiannon8404/media/IMG_0495.jpg.html). I’ve lost another 15 pounds since this picture, but I don’t have a more recent picture than this one.
