    I usually save a pic to my computer then upload it to www.tinypic.com then it will give you a web address so you can copy and post it to a forum such as this......but when it gives you the web address it usually starts with Http, you want to make the H a lower case h before posting.....I hope this helps. I'm probably leaving out a piece of info b/c I haven't posted a pic in awhile, however I will try later and make sure I'm telling you the correct thing. Hope this helops.

    Anyway I'm Jennifer, joined MFP last jan after gaining so much weight after having my twins....I decided to get on the scale one day and literally cried 282 was staring back at me, that the first time I've ever posted my weight on here.....I was my lowest since starting this diet in the beginning of October at 220, I went on a 2 week vacation at the end of october and just haven't seemed to get the same stamina back, I currently stand around 223-226 on any given day. It's frustrating!!!
    I'm looking forward to joining you guys and finally hit the one-nder land...and ultimately hitting 180 at 5'8.

    ****Please feel free to add me as a friend.

    Hi Jennifer! Twinmom430 is an awesome friend to have, just so everyone knows!

    I'm also a mother of twins. I've gotten to my pre-pregnancy weight twice in the last year (yay me in theory, but I was stupid enough to have to lose it twice because of an injury-induced regain!), and there I sit. Unfortunately, that's still 20lbs above what my husband thinks is best for me, and 40lbs above what I'd LIKE to be.

    Stats:
    5'2", 38 years old, SAHM privileged enough to have lots of help!
    HW (at end of twin pregnancy): 220
    SW (for MFP): 193
    GW1 & CW: 170-172 (also my ppw)
    GW2: 150
    UGW: 125-130

    I'm finding that this time of year is really hard for me to keep motivation going and eat cleanly. It's dark and cold and I just want to eat junk food and nap all day.

    I LOVE lifting heavy, but I'm struggling to get to the gym to do it. I have a great home gym set up, but my dumbbells only go to 100lbs total. I have Chalean Extreme and I'm thinking about trying to restart that in January. I'm really good at making myself a schedule and routine and then not sticking to it. Hopefully you guys can help motivate me!

    Hey guys, I just joined and am excited that 2013 WILL be the year I change my eating habits, get to grips with the whole fitness thing and generally wave a happy byebye to the excess lard I've been trying to drop since January 2009!!

    Im currently about 230lbs (down from 250 when I started at Halloween), and would LOVE to be a fit, toned strong and sexy 140/147. Hell yeah! :D
    Bit scared bout posting my before pic, but I will... hey we all have to start somewhere right? And this could just be the motivation I need to really do something about my weight/lifestyle for good this time (no more yoyo~ing!!)

    Feel free to add me anyone. And good luck to all of us: Lets do this thing!

    Hi everybody! I'm excited to join this group too. I'm also going to make 2013 my year to get out of plus size clothing and to quit using my weight as an excuse for not having a social life. I'm going to get my big butt off the sofa and get moving. I haven't taken pictures in forever...if I do, I usually stand behind someone or duck out of the picture before it's taken. I'll have to figure out how to upload a picture. My sister is coming up this weekend and I know she'll help me.

    In the meantime, I'll post my stats: I'm 53, 5'2" and 210 lbs. My goal is to get to 140 by the end of 2013.

    Good luck to all of us!

    Hello all. I am ready to do this again, this time with the goal of sticking with it. I have yo-yo ed for too long. I am currently 308 lbs at 6'2". I am hoping to reach my goal of 245 lbs this year. I know I can do it, and each time I have tried in the past, I think this was the part I was missing. The support from others. With my wife by my side, I am going to do this for me, for my wife, and for my wonderful 3 kids.
