Before and During (not done yet!)

edited September 30 in Success Stories
As part of my photography project 365 (take a photo a day for a year), I imposed the additional rule that the first of each month must be a self-portrait, otherwise I knew there wouldn't be any of me in the 365 at all.

For my 1st August image I used a photo taken of me today along with shots taken of me in August 2008 and 2009, to show the progress I have made so far (although I still have quite a way to go!).
When I saw the old pictures the other day I honestly didn't know whether to laugh, cry or throw up! I looked so hideous (I mean I still do... just a lot thinner!).

You can view the photo, with brief description including weights, on my Flickr at:

    Excellent and congratulation. It takes time to get used to the new you. I look in the mirror and think no way:), lol and When I shop for clothes I always try my old size on first and think "why is it so big?". So, good job, keep going and you look great, and was not hideous back in 2008, you just found a new self in 2011.
