Below are two photos of me. They are taken in about the same place, with a similar camera and at a very similar angle. The first was taken 4 years and 3 months ago, the second today. To me it's a shocking comparison of how I looked back then at 25 kg heavier and how I look now. For added effect, open [url=http://pabuk.com/up/20090722_pab_2005.jpg]photo 1[/url] and [url=http://pabuk.com/up/20090722_pab_2009.jpg]photo 2[/url] in separate tabs and flick between them.

The first photo is actually the 3rd in a series of 4 that I have labelled 'omfg.jpg' through 'omfg4.jpg'. They shall be used from here on out to make sure I never get like that again.

I think you looked fine before, but if you're happier now, mazel tov
I think 60kg would be a good look for you, but as pat said, if you're happier at your current weight,
How tall are you?
As evidenced by the photos, I wear a lot of any excess weight on my face. Even at ~62 kg, which I was for some time up until recently, I was still unhappy with the way I looked in photos. I've now proven that I [i]can[/i] look the way I want to, but to do so I have to be right at the very bottom end of 'normal' BMI. Which really is fine by me.

I won't say my exact height, but I will say I'm vertically a little below average. If I wasn't I would be considered quite underweight by now, whereas I'm actually just slightly. And that bit should be taken care of in a month or so when we go to Portugal.
Good for you Pab.
