Hi I'm Debbie

I had my photo taken recently (usually avoid that at all costs) but when I saw it I nearly died. I cried and have decided to it is time to shift the weight. The photo I am talking about is my profile picture. I hate hate hate it but hope it will motivate me every day. I only joined yesterday so am hoping this is the start of the new improved me!

    This is a great site! I know how you feel about the whole pic taking thing. I've lost 50 pounds total and struggling to lose my last 10. Everyone is awesome. Add me if you want. Good luck.:smooched: :cry: :smile:

    Hi Debbie! I'm new here too, and I avoid my picture being taken at all costs too. I hate the way Iook. It's a far cry from someone who used to love having it taken back when I was younger, skinnier, and more confident.

    You're a step ahead of me - I couldn't even post a pic for a profile shot! I'm super proud of you for that! With your great attitude, you'll get there!!

    Thank you both for replying. I hope you don't mind but I have sent you both a friend request. Hopefully we can get eachother to our targets. I'm not sure how well I will do but am determined that the next photo I post will be a beautiful one :happy:

    I am also fairly new to fitness pal, but it is helping and I am learning a lot from the website as well. Good luck ladies and you can do it. I went out and bought a shirt that is too small for me now, and that is my goal shirt. I try it one once a week although I would like to loose 50-60pds I think it will give me the incentive to keep pushing forward. Good luck with your goals

    Thank you tinkbell465
    That's a good idea to have a target item of clothing. I need to get myself a tape measure. I'm reluctant to buy scales cos I can imagine myself getting quite obsessive about weighing myself. I need to lose at least 54lbs so we should maybe motivate eachother. I am going to send you a friend request - I hope you don't mind :happy:

    I've been here for awhile, you'll love it! The goal setting is simple, the people are amazing, and there's a ton of blogs and stuff to keep you motivated. Old pictures of me help keep me motivated too, I have one of me from last summer on the fridge to remind me what I used to be like and how far I can go. I've still got a bit of a ways to go so little things like that mean a lot.

    Good luck to you!

    Welcome. MFP is a great place to lose weight and get support. Making up your mind to change is the beginning, then following up on your behavior and attitude

    Hey there! I'm new here as well and I'm completely with you on the photograph thing. It was one horrible picture that started my weight loss journey as well. This site has so many tools and I'm hoping it will provide the support I need as well to finish this journey! good luck!
