    Front View 237 lbs 19/05/07

    Hi Guys and Gals,

    thought I best post my pics as a permanent reminder of what I was like at the start of my Atkins weightloss journey.
    I am quite embarrassed by these pictures, but I feel that it is important that I keep a record of then and soon to be.

    This is unhappily me right now
    A Front View- how awful and then a side view!!! Scream !!!


    My Starting Date - 19th May 2007
    My Starting Weight -239 Pounds

    Weigh-In Date whenever I am doubtful!

    Starting Stats
    Bust - 44 inches
    Waist - 47.5 inches
    Hips -53 inches
    Biceps - 19.5 inches
    Forearm - 14.5 inches
    Thigh - 30.5 inches
    Calf - 18.5 inches






    I know, I know....I am smiling, but that does not mean that I am happy, I am just putting on a brave face before I burst into tears , Feeling and certainly looking like a ten ton tess, but I am truly hoping to remedy that, I AM SO EMBARRASSED by these pictures!!!!! and can see every horrible pound of gooey fat that I am carrying on my body.....I hate it so much!!!!!!
    I am even carrying weight on my face along with everywhere else sigh...sigh...sigh

    Needing Help desperately.

    Welcome ForeverAutumn87! Good for you for posting starting pics. You'll be glad you did once your weight loss really kicks in, and it will very soon.
    I would encourage you to find your way around this big board, post often....this is a great place to both give and get.
    If you have any questions, you may want to post in the 14 Day Induction forum where others are at the same stage as you. There's lots of forums to choose from, though.
    Hope to see you around!

      As you go through the week you'll notice by your fourth day you may not be feeling so hot. It's because your detoxing from sugar. You may feel tired, have a bad headache. But don't give in. It will pass and you'll really feel your energy rev up. You'll notice craving go away too.

          Forever Autumn, welcome. Don't feel bad, I look pregnant too, so you're not alone. Don't forget to drink your water, and you might want to take your measurements down so you can compare later, as you will lose inches at times when no weight is coming off. But, it WILL come off. Best of luck.

            hi ForeverAutumn87! all journeys start with a single step and you are taking it!

            i think i can safely say here that you are amongst people with similar challenges so dont worry about your pics. when you start to drop in weight your going to have a lot of fun with your camera and take pictures like crazy. just use the pic you posted as your starting point and watch the magic happen. get ready casue you are going to look totally different and your are going to be happy about it! one of the most interesting aspects of this is that your face is going to change as well. after i lost 90 percent of what i wanted, i went to a meeting of a volunteer center where i spent some time, the guys didnt even recognize me! how's that for change?

                Welcome Forever Autumn! Thanks for posting your nice pics. No need to feel uncomfortable about them... one thing we all have in common is that we started out heavier than we were/are happy with. You'll soon see how those lbs disappear if you do Atkins by the book.

                Post lots and keep us updated. We're behind you all the way!
                Looking forward to the next instalment of pics!

                      Hi Forever Autumn,

                      Well done for posting starting pictures - very brave I bet you feel way bigger than you look to us, our minds always seem to exaggerate our bodies.

                      I hope you're progressing well - a month is nearly up since you took the pictures - are you planning to post more. It would be good to see your progress

                          Great job on posting starting pics! It's difficult and scary at first, but it's very liberating at the same time. I find that posting pictures also helps me stay motivated. You are a beautiful woman, and you will only continue to become more beautiful!

                              i missed this thread due to my move last month. i'm glad it got bumped up.

                              it should be just about time for an update cause i'll bet we could see such a difference in your pics! congrats on the 14+ pounds lost already!
