edited September 22 in Success Stories
Upon request from some of my friends I am posting a thread with some photos from my photo shoot.
This was something I did as a reward for myself for all the hard work I have put in and all the progress I have made.

Here is a reminder of what I looked like before. This was at my best friend's wedding.
I was miserable the entire time and did not feel pretty at all!!

ok enough of that! ick!! On to the good stuff!

To date I have lost 64 lbs and weigh 151 lbs. I hope to get to 135 lbs eventually. (only 16 lbs to go!! *fist pump*)

I know...I posted ALOT....but I am not used to liking what I see when I look at pics of myself.
I am glad I could share these with all you guys! My MFPeeps mean so much to me!!! I couldn't have done this without you!

I highly recommend a photo shoot as a reward for anyone once they get close or reach their goal. I had so much fun I will probably do it again once I hit my goal of 135 lbs.

Everyone keep up the hard work! The results are worth it!
I believe in every single one of you!

    you upload them to photobucket.com and then copy and paste the jpg code into MFP...change the IMG letters to img at the beginning and the end of the link

    You are beautiful and those photos are a nice way to celebrate all your hard work. I love the one on the wooden bridge. I love photography also and had never thought of a photo shoot of me to celebrate, so thanks for the idea. Keep up the great work and thanks so much for sharing the photos.

    Dani actually won this photo shoot for free on a facebook contest I believe! IF you're looking to have something like this done a good way is to post on facebook or craigslist that you're interested in having an amateur take the photos. They will usually take really nice photos for CHEAP or free if you let them use them in their portfolio. :) Just an idea !

    For anyone that wants to post pics on a thread and doesn't want to use photobucket.
    You can post a pic from any web page unless they have it blocked for some reason...which you won't know until you post the pic and then it doesn't show up! LOL

    ok so find the pic you want to post (I posted mine straight from Facebook)
    right click on the photo
    a box will drop down....click on properties
    copy the http code where is says Address (URL)
    then you paste it in the forum and add [ img ] to the front and [ /img ] to the back of the code (without the spaces)
    you can quote my post on the forum if you need to see what it looks like!

    Yes I did! ...and she did such a great job I am booking a beach shoot for Christmas pics in a few weeks!

    Thanks everyone for the kind words! It means a lot!

    Thanks so much!
    I am more comfortable with myself! ....and THAT is one of the most important factors in all this.
    I am so happy to be ME right now. Where before I hated my body....
    I felt like I was trapped in someone else's body. I am sure everyone can relate to that feeling.
