I wish I would have.....

I am 47 days in and there are some things I wish I would have done in the beggining and I figured I would share them with you.

Taken pictures from the beginning. I was too self conscious. I am now down 21 lbs and since I never take pictures all I have to show is the ones I started last week to this week.

Measured myself. You will hear preached here that weight loss is not linear. There are too many variables that goes into your body getting smaller and/or more tighter and toned.

......there were more but as my phone wants to be stupid and keeps deleting it all over and over again I am going to hope others will start where I left off. Feel free to add me. I enjoy being on this journey with others.

Good post.

For what it's worth, I think your regrets are common in that, many people are afraid to take photographs and measurements and then they also regret not having them later.

Me too with the pictures!

The most recent picture of me from my obese days is something from 2010.

Yeah, I kind of wish I had a "before" picture. Also some "before" bloodwork too. I did have bloodwork done about six months ago, but I was already four months in at that point.
