    dumb question but how do I put pictures on here?

    Upload your pictures to photobucket or flicker and then copy the img link into your message. Make sure you change the (IMG) and (/IMG) at the beginning and end of the link to a lower case (img) and (/img). I hope that helps...

    Vic, I hope don't mind that I re-posted this....it really helped me when I was trying to upload my photos. :smile:

    FYI: If you don't know how to post pictures, here are some easy steps.
    1) Upload your picture to an online storage site like Flickr or PhotoBucket
    2) You might need to resize your picture (640x480 is a good size. Somewhere between 340 and 640)
    3) Copy the image code for the picture of your choosing (code will have at the beginning and at the end)
    4) Paste the code into the "reply" box on MFP
    5) **VERY IMPORTANT** Change the and to a lowercase img and /img or the picture won't show up.

    Example:

    thisisnotarealpicture.jpg

    For the picture to show up you would have to change the capital IMG to lowercase img.

    My "before" pictures were actually taken 3 weeks into the challenge, but it took a while before I could bring myself to take them.

    The last set is a picture of me from December 15th of last year, and June 1st of this year (I started my weight loss journey on January 15th).

    Kallisti you look great!! Those shorts in your second picture (I'm assuming the are the same ones) have gotten so BIG! You have made such an amazing transformation in such a short time!

    Ok, here are my progress pics for the 12 weeks. 10 lbs doesn't look dramatically different, but it sure does fit different in clothing. I am DREADING the weigh-in tomorrow. I've had no self control the last 2 days and I am expecting an major gain. Hopefully by Sunday I'll be "normal". :wink:

    Okay. Not sure how this will work but I'll give it a try....I didn't have any "real" before pictures, but I used one that I took on vacation right before I started on MFP.

    Before: March 2011 153 lbs

    IMG_1141.jpg

    After: June 7th, 2001 142 lbs

    IMG_2587.jpg

    IMG_2588-1.jpg

    Edit: Tried multiple times to re-size the photos because they are HUGE!! I'm sorry guys. If someone could help me out that would be awesome!

    You look FANTASTIC!!! I am so jealous! How tall are you?

    Congratulations to everyone who has stuck with the challenge - gain, plateau, or loss! It's the commitment that truly counts.
    I usually weigh in on Saturday (so haven't lost my weekly 'whatever' yet!), but since I just joined the other challenge with today's weight I might as well end this one with the same weight. Thank you everyone for keeping me motivated and thank you Vic for keeping me honest with your weekly charts! MEAT all ya LOSERS soon AT THE BEACH!!!!!

    Started at 204.5
    Ended at 189

    Missed my challenge goal....but I am still really pleased with the results. I credit this group with keeping me honest. Knowing I was going to have to post my weight every week has really helped. I need that accountability. Looking forward to the next 12 weeks! Congrats to everyone. Your before and after pics are a real inspiration!

    Didn't make my goal for this challenge - but 8 pounds lighter is better than 8 pounds heavier. :bigsmile: My weight really bounced around an awful lot the first couple of months. This last month the exercise finally began to pay off. Thanks to MFP I have joined several challenges and you all keep me honest and motivated. :wink: It is great to see everyone's pictures - I'm not a picture person - but my mom and several friends think I've "lost enough". Not:tongue:

    ***********IMPORTANT....READ ME.....IMPORTANT....READ ME.....IMPORTANT.....READ ME....ok, if I didn't get your attention I don't know what will. *********

    Alright my darlings....here is the link to the "Recruitment Thread" for our new challenge. It explains everything in (great) detail. Forgive me...I find myself long-winded some times. :wink:

    Anywhoo...just post on that thread if you are ready to continue for the rest of the summer. I'm starting to get my list ready now.

    I met my challenge goal plus a little extra! Even with a stall during part of April. I started this challenge (my first longer term one) at almost 180 pounds and less than a week after the funeral of my sweet mom. :brokenheart: I think having somewhere to account to and a goal to strive for was so helpful during a difficult time in my life. That and painting the inside of my house! ;-) From the high 170's to the lower 160's sure looks and feels different on me. :happy: I can't wait to see what I look like after "The Beach"! See you there!

    My final weigh in is 136 which is a gain for me. But that is OK. This is right after a great vacation. Probably a lot of water retention. I am getting right back in there with the 'Meat me at the beach' challenge!! See you there!
