in Introduce Yourself
Yes, I knew I needed to lose weight before vacation. I just didn't have that spark then. But I do now!! I HATE looking at those pictures!! So I guess I'll just plan on taking awesome pictures for next year's vacation!

I don't have any friends, would you be mine?

    Sometimes it takes a bad picture to give you a shove in the right direction. Certainly took that for me! Feel free to add, I'm always up for new friends (:

    I'll be your friend! I started loosing weight in March, and just celebrated my 1/2 way point at the beach! I'm not not done yet, but I'm soooo much more comfortable now than before! I'm so excited this is working for me, because I never thought I'd loose the weight. Welcome, and Good luck to you!

    Just added you as a friend... hopefully we can help keep each other going! Disney is one of my big motivators as I'm taking my kids in February and I don't want to look back on such a special vacation and cringe at the pics of myself!

    Disney is one of my motivators.

    We are going in 3 months, and I did NOT want to look terrible in the photos, it will be my son's first trip, so I want great pictures to last a lifetime!

    I got a new DSLR camera to make pretty pictures, and I want to look pretty IN the pictures! :D

    I had that issue too! Looked at a picture from fruit picking/vacation in August and thought, OMG!! SO, I'll add you as well! Lost a total of 30+ since then and still have about 30 more to go! HERE WE GO!!! :)

    I am not fond of my pictures from Disney either, but for me, it could have been worse lol I started working out a few months before we went so I had lost 10 pounds and toned up. I still have no plans of posting them though lol

    Disney was one of my motivators... some of the rides were too small for my fat a**. the harness and the seat belts are not fat people friendly. :(

    F! i still think about it!

    i am heading to the gym...

    I feel your pain. That was me in 2009. So freaking disgusted with what I saw. I am down over 50lbs...would like to lose another 25-30lbs before we go back in September but at least I won't see the double chin and huge fatness when I take pictures with Mickey this time.

    I know the feeling! Good luck with your weight loss! I looked in the mirror and all I could think about was the Penguin from the Batman movie-Danny Devito played the role.....Ugh! That was my motivation....!

    add me. We can do it together. :) I love disney. But I hate worrying, Im I gonna be the fat one that doesnt fit on the ride. (BTW that didnt happen) which is a good thing. Disney is pretty accomodating. Thank goodness. :bigsmile:

    It took seeing vacation photos of myself for me to really realize just how big I was. I'm finally doing something about it. I'm going to send you a request as well. Good luck on your journey!

    Please add me as a friend. Our family went to Disney after I had lost 60 lbs and since that trip in 2000, I have found every single one of them. Time to lose them again - I refuse to go back to Disney until I do. I hope you had a great trip, regardless of the pictures.

    I know the feeling too. That's why I'm usually behind the camera taking the pics. Sent you a friend request and message. As I stated in my message, I'm going to get to experience Disneyland for the first time in Oct. Hitting my goal by then would be fantastic, but probably unrealistic, so even if I were halfway to my goal, that would be great.

    For all the Disney fans...feel free to send friend requests (and that goes to the non-Disney fans as well).
