Re: Baby, I'm amazed

Take it from someone with some horrible before pictures. they will be priceless when you are at goal. I cannot wait to show them once I have a good during or after picture. I have some pretty awful ones that make me look every inch the weight I was when they were taken. It makes me so sad that in every important event in our kids lives, there I am huge. Weddings, graduations, baby births, and holding those grandbabies, all huge. Our kids and grandkids really do not know my thin, let alone our two son in laws and daughter in law. I cannot wait to show them the REAL me.
Hang in there, those pictures are just a temporary you, the real you is coming and then you can look at the old pictures and look how far you have come and be so proud !! Our fourth child just graduated high school, and there I am in the picture with him, huge, and unfortunately very sick so I am not even looking a bit happy and I was !! One more picture to show when I get to goal, I cannot wait !!

Re: Baby, I'm amazed

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.

I think the thing that is so depressing about the top photo is how OLD I look. I'm a big baby, I know, but I'm really looking old these days. I've always had a baby face, bot so much lately. My husband is so athletic and in excellent shape. I weigh about 15 pounds more than he does, but I'm 5' 43/4 and he's 6'1 1/2 " !! Then again, he's very lean at about 166 pounds.

My youngest is going into his second year of college. I have two boys and they turn 19 and 21 in July. I look so tired in pictures with them these days.

On the bright side, The scale seems to say that I'm down 11 pounds this morning. YAY!!!

Re: Baby, I'm amazed

LOL, that picture trick is amazing! I just wished the camera did that for us BFORE we saw them. LOL

Don't you even compair yourself to hubby...166 for someone who is almost 6'2 is not a lot of weight. We are all built different, so don't even give that a second though You will pass him up in NO time, I promise!

And I just wanted to congratulate you on an AWESOME job losing so much already!
Keep up the fantastic work, you'll be at goal before you know it!

Re: Baby, I'm amazed

Oh, man. I took more photos this morning just to see. My jaw just about hit the floor. I know my clothes fit much better, but I wasn't really able to see much of a difference in the mirror. Boy, I sure did in the photos! My whole shape, head to toe, is thinning down noticeably and it's not even been the full 2 weeks yet!
