The reason why you take pictures

Yesterday, I officially lost 100 pounds in 50 weeks, and I wasn't happy about it. What?!! Yeah, for whatever reason, I was just blah about it.

Today, I got up early, did my hair & makeup, put on my starting dress and had a buddy snap a quick picture. When she showed it to me, I said WOW!!!! You can totally see a difference. Then when I lined today's pic with last year's pic, it was insanely obvious. No one in my real life has noticed, and I don't expect them to. I have soooooo much to lose. Anyway, just thought I'd share my mini goal with you all. It's possible, and I feel great! And take pictures at regular intervals, in the same clothes if you can.

  • Congratulations! What beautiful picture. It's funny isn't it how we sometimes don't see it in the mirror?

    Wow -- I can't believe no one "in your real life" has noticed!! I love the "live well" sign behind you in the before pic -- you should put that in each photo as you progress!!

    I wonder if people don't notice because it's gradual. Someone noticed I made my hair a LOT lighter about 2 years after I did it. Anyway, you look marvelous in that dress at this point.

    You look gorgeous, and I love the dress. You immediately notice a difference overall but then you start looking closer...Your neck looks longer, your face is thinner, your arms are leaner and on and on. It's fantastic!

    You look fantastic. Here's what stands out for me; you are standing taller and are wearing eye catching jewelry -you've got more confidence If people in your life haven't noticed they may need their eyes checked!
