    A couple years ago- I dropped 100#'s in 4 months doing insane gym time and no carbs. Well I did it in prep to go to King's Island and be able to ride ALL the roller coasters. This specific image is of the Diamond Back- my new foe. It was the only one I couldn't fit on after all my hard work. Oh- well... next year- victory will be mine!

    Mine is a pic of my hubby and me at the Grand Canyon. We were on a road trip with friends on our way to Las Vegas for my 40th b-day. I had never been before and it was a great party.

    I had just finished a WoD (Workout of the Day) at my CrossFit Box, which was 21-18-15-12-9 of Deadlifts, Power Cleans, Front Squats, Push Jerks (Do 21 DL, 21 PC, 21 FS, 21PJ, 18 DL etc til you finish with 9 PJ) all at 95 lbs.

    Took me 61:36. Definitely earned my weekend.

    My profile picture was taken when I was at my goal weight two years ago. I use it as motivation.

    I have a pic of my feet in dance shoes because wanting to dance again is one of my main motivations for getting healthier. i also just love how feet look in pointe shoes.

    Mine is off the King of the castle, my himalayan cat. He sits on his purple throne every day, he's a fussy eater, doesn't like to walk on the sidewalk or grass but other than that he is an absolute gem. Offers plenty of cuddles and he attracts more people on this site than I do lol.

    It's from 2009, my husband and I were in our kitchen having drinks, I was sitting at the island video chatting with a group of friends of ours. I was laughing at something someone said when I looked over at him and he took the picture. He said he was hoping to catch an image of what he see anytime I smile. He said he got it, to me it's just another pic...... (I was also about 20 pounds lighter than I am now, and 45 pounds lighter than when I started MFP in Sept 2011)

    This was the picture of myself that I saw when I first realized how much weight I had gained. I am as big as 2 or 3 of my skinny friend next to me.

    I walked a 5-K for Lung Cancer Research.
    The Photo on my T-shirt is of a Mom from the Local Mom's Club who died of Lung Cancer.
    She never smoked, ate healthy and was even a College athlete.

    Was at Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum in Vegas in April.

    Was a cheesy attempt to mimic Stevie Wonder's smile.

    It turned out better than I thought. :laugh:

    I am trying to overcome an eating disorder and need to gain a lot to get back to a healthy weight. This picture was taken of me 12 lbs heavier than I am now and I am trying to learn to accept that person so I won't hate my body as much when I get there. Still don't like it, but I'm working towards it.

    This picture was taken almost exactly a year ago when I brought my new puppy home. She's an English Mastiff and is now up to approx 120 lbs & still growing! And I am going the other way with weight! 8-)

    I convinced my family to drive up to Montana to spend 4th of July two years ago with a friend of mine from college and this picture was of her and me...but I cropped her out because she turned out to be a pretty crappy friend. Its still one of my favorite pictures of myself.
