I am reluctant to post this 'before' picture. It's so awful. It was taken at a friend's wedding in March. I was at my highest weight of about 290. I felt so uncomfortable at the wedding, Seeing this picture made me realize how really big I had gotten. I joined MFP in early April and am down 30 lbs as of today.

These were taken this week. Though not great pics, I can see some difference, especially in my face

    If you just use the url, you can look at the pic. I forget how to get them to post in the actual thread though.

    Seeing if that worked... you have to use your image url, but the IMG has to be lower case img.

    Great job! :flowerforyou:

    You got the HTML right, but for this site you have to do this:

    [ img ] www.picture.com/picture.jpg [ /img]

    All lower case on the "img" and the remove the spaces.
  • Woooo Hooooo Way to go!!!

    Thanks - I moved them to Photobucket and it works better. I couldn't get them to post from Flickr.

    I think you look beautiful in the wedding photo! But I am way too familiar with how you were probably feeling...
    So many times I've left the house and looked in the mirror thinking, "hey, I almost look quite nice in this" only to see a photo that had me mortified. You should be so proud of what you've managed so far, you are miles ahead of me and I'll be thinking of you as I start my own weight loss journey... :smile:

    And I should add... you can definitely see a difference! Must be so good to feel it too.
