    I totally hear you! I had to search for a before pic too, though I still can't look at it, I'm so glad I found it! I did post it though. *shudder*

    I think the best advice I ever got, was from a fitness trainer. He kept a Before picture when he was ~100 lbs heavier, before he got into losing his weight and getting fit. Seeing him now, and then looking at the picture - I'd never have recognized him.

    That's why I posted the picture I did, I took a picture that shows my tummy in all it's grandeur; so I have a firm reminder of why I'm here.

    I managed to scrape a few fat pics together. Not afraid of the camera now. Good luck everyone.

    Take one now, so 3 months from now you won't be saying the same thing. : )

    Totally agree - find your worst and look at what you want to get away from! I have spent years avoiding the camera but now I am glad there are a few that sneaked through that I look back at and say OH MY GOD - I never want to be there again!

    DITTO! I was always the one behind the camera ... for a reason. Now I wish I had some before photos. The closest thing I can find is still when I was at least 30-35 lb lighter than my heaviest!
