I don't have ANY full body pictures from before I started. I avoided the camera like the plague. So I have a picture from last month and one from today. Hopefully these pictures work. I suck at this stuff.

I wish I could see more of a change. I feel like I would be happier if I could see pictures from the beginning.
Edit: Except for my baggy *kitten* pants and the belt I now wear constantly. Also fit into a pair of pants that are two sizes smaller than what I've been walking around in. Just can't afford new clothes yet. The second pic was me trying on a shirt at a consignment shop.

    Great job! You definitely are looking slimmer in your midsection!

    PS: I love consignment stores for when I'm losing weight and can't afford a whole new wardrobe =]

    Haha, yeah me too. Found a shirt that I really liked for 3 bucks. Was really looking for pants, but they were either way too big or like a size 4. Maybe next time.

    You can definitely see a huge difference around your waist and your legs. Great work. 35 lb is an amazing loss :D

    I chose to load it to tinypic.com since they don't require you to make a profile. Then you will copy the url that says for forums and message boards and paste it in your post. Then you just change the uppercase [ IMG] to lower case ones [img ][/img]

    Thank you so much! I was trying to find pictures from when I started, but all I could find were face pics. The only one I could find, I was hiding my body behind a giant check :(

    Haha no. I started in June, I just can't find any full body pictures from when I started because I refused to let people take pictures of me. The first picture was from about a month or two ago. The only contrast I had.

    I know exactly how you feel about not having pictures to mark progress. I also avoided camera's like the plague.

    Why would you be afraid of the camera. Love yourself whatever size you are. It is not about sizhat makes God love us so why deny yourself of the love that you deserve? Don't forget that you are beautiful. Really and truly. Put that in your heart.

    you look thinner. It is hard to tell from pictures, I know what you mean. But 35 pounds is huge loss - it's like 3 sizes!

    I've been taking a lot of pictures lately. I'm not even close to goal weight, but this is the first time since starting this that I've been able to notice a slight change. I was really athletic in high school, and then all of a sudden I'm in my senior year in college and I'm double what I used to be. It was a scary realization. I didn't even know I was avoiding cameras really, until I tried to find pictures and there just weren't any except the face.
