Before and During Pics....

I encourage all of your new folks on here... to take a picture of you BEFORE...no matter how hard it is to see yourself. I have lost only 15 pounds and it is SO hard to see changes with your body, in turn, making me a little discouraged.

After busting my butt exercising yesterday, I had a quick pic taken of me...and I thought... wow... I can see a difference... Still a ways to go... but comparing the before pic from Early Feb and the one taken yesterday... it is quite motivating and empowering!!! I so got this!

    I have a before picture for this year, I wish I had one back in January of 2010 when I was 210 lbs, I haven't posted it because I have been stuck at my current plateau for 8 months.

    I can see your picture if I follow the link. And I can DEFINITELY see the progress you've made so far! :)

    I have a picture at my heaviest (in my profile, the one where I'm sitting on a bench with Wally the Green Monster), but I need to start taking NROL4W progress pictures too.

    I did something similar. I took my favorite t-shirt which does not fit in the least right now. So I put it on anyways and took 2 pics one with arms up and one with arms down. I plan to take a pic every Monday (I weigh in on Sundays) until I get to my goal and the shirt fits and maybe be even a little too big, and then run all of the pics together to see the progression. Should be pretty insane. I also put the shirt on the wall next to my treadmill for some extra motivation.

    So, on Photobucket, on the right hand side, there's a list and one of them looks like this Feb2012.jpg

    Copy that one, only after you paste it here, change the uppercase IMG to lowercase img, then it should work like a charm. :)

    Awesome work! Keep making progress. :)

    BTW, it's lower case on the img tag.
