HEY NEWBIES!!! Over here.....

arewethereyet

I just went through all my pictures for the year. WOW!! What a difference a year and a lot of hard work makes!

I just wanted to say...............take pictures. I dont care if you throw up when your done uploading them (which I actually did after the first photo session!) I am so thankful today that I have those pictures.

I have a ways to go, and the undies shots still make me a bit sick to my stomach:laugh: but when compared to where I was...........BAM!! I am one happy camper.

I have been a bit down due to no weight loss and the inches have not changed. I had a tummy shot (blech) from March and when I compared it to June I noted definition. Still fat, but I can SEE the difference.

So pleeeeeeeeeeeeease take some shots. Try to pick an outfit you can photo in from start to finish, like tight biker shorts and sports bra (I didnt do this and really wish I had)

Good luck to you!! Stick with it and I PROMISE you will be happier in 1 year, just like ME!!

Such good advice! I was miserable when I looked back to my old pictures and found that I only had about a half dozen, that means I took myself out of the pictures of my first two kid's lives....I have my memories, but they will fade, I'm heartbroken that I didn't get my weight under control earlier. I'm busy trying to make up for it now! I don't know how to post the before after pics here, but I added them to my profile...heaviest 290 lbs, reached 194 lbs six months later...I was determined and followed this site religously! Now I'm at 215 since having a baby in March...I will post pictures again after I get back under 200!!! My goal now is to reach 180 and I know I can do it!!! I will never be that 290 gal again, I don't recognize her, she was not a happy person...so sad!

Take your pictures, keep them hidden if you must, but don't be like me and erase yourself from your families memories......I'm proud now when I look back at the few I have and realize how far I've come!!!

Great Job! You're looking great and healthy too! I like the before/after pics. They really inspire me more than I can say.

I've got the 'Pukey Pics' ready- now all I need is The Hotness Pics :laugh:

I'll try to toughen up and get in front of the camera.:sick:
