in Success Stories
I love opening a Success Story thread and seeing the before and after pictures and looking at the expression/posture difference in the two. Befores usually look so... unhappy. uncomfortable. Even in a casual shot and not a "look at my body" shot. You can see that the person in the photo just isn't who they are supposed to be and they are not proud of it. Then you see the look of the face of the after shot. The smile, the eyes. Pure happiness and joy and pride. People glow in that after shot.

I can't wait to glow.

    I agree. I can see a big difference in both mine and my husband's before/after shots! There is a bit more confidence there! I'm sure you will be glowing soon and so proud of your pictures!

    Are you doing a fitness program with MFP? You have amazing results so far!

    I am a personal trainer now. I have a before and after shot on my business card, with "Don't tell ME you can't do it" between them.

    Yep, I picked that up too. Even a small loss will do it. 1 lb BA pic. Big smile on the after pic. It just feels good.

    You can do it. I'll be 50 in November. I became a trainer at 48.

    This so true! I just had a full body shot taken as my before pic. When I looked at the photo, it was so obvious that I lacked confidence!
