Re: Baby, I'm amazed

Thanks, but I got a rude awakening named NIKON this afternoon. I decided that I probably ought to take a few photos to commemorate the occasion and to track my progress. I really wish I hadn't.

I had no idea that my body looks the way it does. I look so old and I swear to you that I have a fat lump above my left knee. That only stands out because it's bigger than the other lumps that are EVERYWHERE. OMG, I think I'm going to be sick.

Congrats on the loss, Illy. I know what you mean about the camera not exactly being your best friend. But just think...you are well on your way to your goal and YOU CAN DO IT.

Hang on to those pics as a reminder...

Re: Baby, I'm amazed

Congrats thats great news =) I know exactly how you feel about seeing a picture of yourself the same exact thing happened to me on Friday which turned me into a debbie downer and then resulted in me freaking out and comfort eating yesterday after being really good since March 24th. So here I am back at it and trying to not beat myself up by it. Just remember at least your trying to do some thing about it and what we see in those pictures will get better and better. Chin up and just remember your not alone =)

Ugh. Thanks. *whiney face*

Well, I did not resort to what I usually do. I was starving when I took those pictures - way past lunchtime - and ordinarily I would have grabbed something bad and gobbled down. but. I know me and I prepared for that when I went grocery shopping. haHA! Sometimes you just have to get firm and outsmart yourself. I have nothing in this house that is off-limits.

You see, my pathetically old refrigerator died last week and everything in it was ruined when I got home from work. I got a new fridge the next day and went grocery shopping. So there's nothing in there that I can't have. Hubby has been out of town for a week and won't be home until next weekend. So at least I'll have another week under my belt before he brings in ice cream and frozen pizza. If you notice the photos of us in my signature line, you'll see that weight isn't exactly something he worries about. He's got an extremely physically demanding job and is naturally lean. I hate him, actually,

Hey - I just ordered a new workout program called Barry's Bootcamp. I'm really psyched about it. Is anyone familiar?

Re: Baby, I'm amazed

Oh, check this out. I LOOOVE photoshop. The first pic is real and the second one is shopping out my ugly double chin and gross fat on the back of my neck. What do you think? Do I lose 10 years when I lose that chin or what?

Re: Baby, I'm amazed

Congrats...You will love having those pictures to look back at...sometimes things go so slowly we need all the reminders of where we were...so we don't go-back

Re: Baby, I'm amazed

What a start. Keep going and in no time you'll reach your goal, I'm sure. God Bless, Joe

Re: Baby, I'm amazed

Congratulations Illy. Keep going at that rate and you will look just like the shopped picture in NO TIME!

Re: Baby, I'm amazed

Thanks!! I'm still going strong. Perfectly on plan for 8 days now.

Re: Baby, I'm amazed

Congrats on the -10!

I agree...hang on to those pics and the real thing will be the 2nd one! Gosh, could you photoshop my body? I've got a few (too many) places that I'd like to "remove"...

Re: Baby, I'm amazed

OMG you are to funny, I did the EXACT same thing from my pictures taken of me riding on Friday. But I dont have the b*lls to post my before and after photoshop from Friday. I think I will just work my butt off and then hopefully I will have some courage to post some before and afters.. But it is good to have them to look back on. I think you look great in your before picture too, but we can always find some thing we dont like about ourselves so I understand where your coming from.

Oh, check this out. I LOOOVE photoshop. The first pic is real and the second one is shopping out my ugly double chin and gross fat on the back of my neck. What do you think? Do I lose 10 years when I lose that chin or what?
