I got brave and put on my bikini and took a before picture turn around.

Ugh! An eye opener for sure! :blushing: (This bikini fit me once... Waaah!)

If you have a before picture you want to share, please do! Then we can all come back later when we have some progress and/or after pictures and cheer each other on!

    looks better than mine! haha, good luck with this exciting lifestyle change! We're our own biggest enemy which is ironic because we're the only one's that can get ourselves to succeed. :-D YOU CAN ABSOLUTELY DO THIS!

    You ARE brave! I applaud you. I took a before pic a year ago (I've gained 5 lbs since) and it was with sweats and a tee on.

    Awesome! I think you look great! I wish I would have done that! I still have a few pounds to go. I would have loved to have a picture to refer go back to.

    I hate the way that I look that i do not even allow my family to take pictures of me. I am getting ready to go on vacation in March and have to go bathing suit shopping because hopefully i will lose more weight so that i have to get a new one. I am even tanning every day so that I do not burn. I am extremely fair complexion person. this is the tannest i have been in years.

    You are so brave! I don't even want my family to look at me! Good for you! What a great way to inspire yourself. Keep posting and checking in-YOU CAN DO IT!:wink:

    Thank you so so much, everyone! :heart: I've only been a member for a few days, but I already love this community! You're all so incredibly nice and supportive. I want to lose 20 pounds so I plan on taking new photos at the 10 pound mark and again when I reach my goal. I think actually being able to see results in pictures will really help motive me.

    I'm starting a swim aerobics class tomorrow!!

    Good for you! Maybe I'll get up the courage to post a pic like this, but since I'm a bit curvier than you, so I doubt it :) Maybe if I posted a pic of me in a bathing suit on our refrigerator, it would remind me to eat better!

    That sounds like a good motivator, Kristie!!

    I went to my first swim aerobics class today.... In this bikini! I felt awkward at first, but all the class members are super nice. I forgot all about my body image issues within the first 5 minutes because we were having so much fun! I signed on for 3 months at the pool. Hopefully by the end this bikini will fit me perfectly again. :bigsmile:

    Wow!! I haven't worn a bikini in....hmmm well lets just say a while. You look like where I hope to be in 6 months! What an inspiration. I'll definitely take a before pic, not sure if it's safe to post - i might blind everyone...lol All I can say is if you believe in yourself and take it one step at a time, you'll do great! I look forward to being successful with ya = D

    You look great. As for me, the only before picture I was brave enough to post is my profile picture. And this picture is part of me hiding behind a mini-mouse ear.

    OK.... I said I would do it so here it goes! Let's hope it works! I have no make-up and my hair is looking crazy. LOL

    I am at 148.6 lbs right now. I would love to get down to 120, but my more realistic and maintainable goal is 125.

    OK, they were huge.... not sure how to make them smaller....
    See if this works....

    How do you upload the before pix?

    You get the image address by posting it on an imaging site and then put [ img] before the link and [ /img] after the link (remove the spaces inside the brackets tho)
