I tried on this dress this morning that i'm wearing to a wedding on Friday. I took a picture with my cell phone to show me friend, e-mailed it to myself, and i'm looking at it, and I don't believe that is me. Like, that is my body. I mean I know I have lost weight, obviously can feel the difference, but I really didn't SEE IT SEE IT until right this second and I almost don't even believe it. I still have a ways to go, too.

    Pictures are a great way to measure your progress. With the P90X program that I am on we were advised to take before pics and then pics every 30 days... it is amazing to watch the transformation via pictures!

    Congratulations on your transformation!!

    I love those moments! Your not alone. I have a picture taken of me and my 'pretty skinny' girl friend at work. We were both wearing long sleeve pink sweaters and black slacks. When I looked at the shot on my Iphone I burst into tears!

    Was embarrassing because I was at work, and no one knew what the heck was wrong with me!!! :laugh:

    We looked so similar in size..............For the very first time in 20 years I felt pretty again!

    Congrats on your success:drinker:

    Pictures really do tell the whole story. Lately, I actually like looking at pictures of myself. For years, I would cringe every time I saw one. My face looked so bloated and old. :(.

    You have done a great job and should be so incredibly proud of yourself.

    Hey, you look great! It always feels good to "fit" into smaller clothes, even if you're still not at your goal! Keep it up!
