OK, here are my pictures... The bathing suit is too small. I bought it the first time I was on Atkins when I was about 18 pounds lighter!!!! Never wore it, actually, because I bought it at the end of the summer and by the next summer I was too big. Not this time, though...

I wish my face was anywhere close to as thin as yours! Mine is so round -- even when I am relatively thin, my face always looks heavy!

What a lovely bikini Ann! I am sure you will fit into it perfectly very soon!

Nicole, Mitzi, and Ann, those are great pics! I am so proud of ALL of you. It's tough to post pictures if you've never done it before (I know the sheer terror!) but once you've done it, it feels great. Thanks for leading the way.

Wow, you guys have inspired me to do the "before" shot. Bra and panties, not a bathing suit. Sorry if you now know more about my body than you wish to know!

Can I just say-- Mitzi, you look FANTASTIC, and I can really tell the difference in your face as well.

Okay, here goes...

thirteen, you look fabulous! I think your "before" shot is my "after!"

Thanks, Julie (liar)! I'm in a healthy bmi range but would like to slim down a bit more...I'm using the summer for added exercise, and hopefully an increased CCLL. Grrrr, I am not looking forward to THAT process again! Sigh.

Thanks for your support Julie!!!! But you don't know how cute I used to be without this extra 70 lbs on my frame... when I look at me now I hardly know who that woman is!!!lol. I know we all probably feel the same way!
three things I like about me:
1. my nails are all equally long now thanks to all the excess vitamins and minerals floating around in my system....
2. my little ears...
3. my toes....and feet.
geez that was hard... want to say 'my kids, my family, my house...' none of which is me at all... hopefully will get better at this....
Thanks for all the bravery girls(annrn, nicole, & mitzi & 13... ) You are inspirational. Don't ever expect me to pose in a bikini here! lol. then again I was never going to post a picture period or my measurements...

Hi Mitzi,

I just have to say that your smiling face is adorable! You look exactly like a "Mitzi" should look! I am not sure what that means exactly, but you just really look like a Mitzi!

Deb

Deb, I know what you mean, and I appreciate it greatly! Thank you so much.

Wow... you think my face is thin?? Cool... thank you!

I don't think a rounder face necessarily looks heavier and I don't think your face looks heavy at all... and that tummy! I'll take it!!

Mitzi, I meant to say this earlier, but your current face pic looks MUCH thinner than your siggy pic. Way to go!

Re: WORK IT!: The 2007 Labor Day Challenge Thread, Sign-up and Reporting

Woo hoo!! I sure as h*ll can't find a reason why you should be nervous to post a pic... va va va voom!!

Thanks for the kind words...

Thank you, Julie!!

I thought about changing my siggie pic to this one, but I'm not totally crazy about using it for the siggie because it is such a closeup shot. I wanted it close up for a comparison shot in the challenge, but I'm wary of it for the siggie. I have an appointment to get my hair trimmed a week from today, and I will take another pic then for my siggie. My hair always looks so much better when my friend does it, so I will take advantage of that. This current siggie pic was taken right after my last hair trim 4 weeks ago.

Oh, yeah... I meant to mention when I posted my measurements - my TOM is 5 days late so far, so I know what you mean about bloat. (One of the curses of getting older... TOM is not nearly as regular as it used to be.)

Thanks again for the compliment - you're a great friend and motivator.

Okay... here it goes... (Check out the *bonus* cat feet featured in two pictures!)




My measurements and weight (taken today):

Weight: 217.5
Neck: 14
Shoulders: 46
Chest: 42

Hips: 48
Thighs: 25
Knees: 16.5

Three things i like about me:
Physically ~ My eyes. They have four colors in them. They change based on mood, weather and what i'm wearing.
Mentally ~ I have great analytical skills. I can put things together and like figuring things out.
Spiritually ~ My dreams - i have sort of prophetic dreams and can get answers from my higher self through them. It's pretty cool, i think!

That's it. Nuts to bolts - pictures, info and homework. Phew...
