    My picture is new years of this year. My boyfriend won tickets to the mountain party and night lift tickets. We weren't into skiing or snowboarding so we just cuddle and watched the activity. It was a completely free new years and the best one we'd had so far.

    My profile picture is of me and a friend at a baseball game during breast cancer awareness month and if you wore a pink shirt you got in for free. However, we all went because my dear friend (not in this pic) was diagnosed that year with breast cancer. She asked all of us to join her and show support and of course we did. The we each took a face shot from all the great pictures we took that night and turned it pink and we all use it as profile pics during breast cancer awareness days or weeks. It reminds me that no matter how big my struggle with losing weight might seem, there is always someone else who is having just as difficult a time and if they can be strong and courageous then so can I! Plus it reminds me of my friend and how grateful I am that she is in remission and still with us.

    Me and my beautiful baby girl last September. We were supposed to get hit with the remnants of a hurricane, lots of rain, wind, etc. She was dressed in her raincoat and boots, had gotten candles and flashlights in case we lost power, and waited, and waited, and it was a beautiful night with perfect weather!

    Mine is me from about 7 years ago. I was at the prime of my dance career, and we had a professional photo shoot for all the senior dancers. It's my inspiration to know I was once that size, and can get back there. :)

    My profile picture was taken almost 3 years ago, the night that my husband proposed to me :smile: he had a photographer waiting for us, so after he proposed (and I said yes) we took some shots. That one is one of my favorites.

    Mine is at the Six Nations rugby Italy vs Wales in Rome this year in February (Valentine's Day!). It was the second time we had been to watch rugby there and the first was a bit of a disaster - I had the starting time of the match wrong (it was a surprise for my boyfriend) and we ended up missing the first half! This time we were on time. I am wearing a very classy Italian hat and am sitting on the top of the stands overlooking the pitch.

    It was a great day, and a fantastic weekend.

    Mine is on my wedding day nearly 2 years ago- the happiest day of my life! It is the wedding photo we have in our front room :) It is also a reminder that I want to get down to at LEAST 9st 7lb by August- which is the weight I was that day.

    Mine varies but currently it's a picture of Star, my royal python. Bless her, she's very calm and docile, but will insist on climbing things and the falling off!

    My picture is a logo in remeberance of the "Charleston 9" firefighters who were killed in the line of duty on June 18, 2007. I personally knew 2 of these guys and I knew several of the firefighters that were there.


    Those answering their last alarm:
    Captain Louis Mulkey
    Captain Mike Benke
    Firefighter Melven Champaign
    Captain William "Billy" Hutchinson
    Engineer Bradford "Brad" Baity
    Firefighter James "Earl" Drayton
    Engineer Mark Kelsey
    Engineer Michael French
    Firefighter Brandon Thompson

    That's a great tribute.

    Recent addition to our home, Maggie.
  • after having lost a total of 56lbs in a year I was with my son at his recent potters fair. He is a reed and was so proud of my new me. I felt beautiful that day. I have struggled and regained ten lbs or so since then and don't feel so beautiful but know I can. Now its a goal again..before it was pride pure and simple. I was so proud of my son that day. My weight mostly was lost before discovering mfp but it is real and I can prove it but who wants to look at that? lol. This was a great idea. :happy:

    Mine's pretty boring, especially compared to most of these. I felt like I needed a new picture of me so I took one.
