Okay, I kinda avoid taking pics because I don't like how I look in them. But surfing MFP today, I see the benefit of posting before and after pics to your profile and that motivated me to go ahead and take the plunge!! LOL! I think I'm gonna to take an after pic and post it for every 5 lbs I lose. I'm thinking that way, I can visually track my progress and see how my body's changing. :)

Weight before MFP: 186 (heaviest)
Weight when joining MFP: 182
Current weight: 177
Goal Weight: 155 - I may re-evaluate at that time

    Maybe I'll take before & after but not post them, but just to gage my journey...and Maybe after my goals are met, I'll be confident enough to share. Congratulations on ur success!!!

    This is gonna sound so weird but when you reach your goal weight, you'll be SO GLAD you took those! I look back at my before pics and I can't even believe it was me, I can't ever remember being as big as I was. Plus holding them up to "after" and "during" pictures is so fun.
    Good luck girly! :)
