Re: *~A New Year, A New You~*

Thanks Atkid for trying to help me. I tried it that way to by emailing it to myself so I would not bore everyone with my errors and it didn't work.
Emma, thanks for fixing it for me. Please let me know what you did. I have back and side views to add, but still do not understand how to do it.
Sorry to be such a pain!
Liz and Emma (and anyone else that is sick), I hope you start feeling better.
Thanks!

Sorry, I'm another one who wussed out. I don't own a bikini and never will, because all the weightloss in the world isn't going to fix my stretch marks. But I did run to Target and buy these shorts, and it's the only pair of shorts this short that I own, so it's a baby step forward. Kudos to all those out there braver than me!



Chest: 40
Waist: 33
Belly-button area: 36
Hips: 40
Thigh: 22 and 1/2
Arm: 11 and 1/4

EDIT: Forgot one measurement that I wanted to get in there

Re: *~A New Year, A New You~*

I am giving up on the cell phone camera...it is just really pi$$ing me off big time. A USB cable would have been lovely but there isn't one.

So I will post a picture when my digital camera arrives. If that doesn't work I'll sit this challenge out.

Good news is I did my measurements & I've lost another 2.75"!

I read we must 'take' pics.

Did not know we had to 'post' them.

I am just too chicken.

Re: *~A New Year, A New You~*

Posting photos was extremely daunting, but to me it was something I needed to do to keep me motivated.

Im certain that im not the only one, who when they have lost a couple of dress sizes, they start to feel comfortable in their own skin again. But ......... im still only 50% of the way to my target weight and I musn't lose sight of that.

The photos were a HUGE reminder that the camera doesn't lie, where my own eyes might!! Another telling thing, was that I would allow my daughter to see me undressed, but not my husband!

I am now looking forward to posting another set of photos in 11 weeks time!!!

Hey Lockeshop, you could just take pictures and crop the face/head off. Noone will ever know who those pictures are of.

Re: *~A New Year, A New You~*

Hi everyone, ok well i think im the biggest one on here about to post a pic of myself but oh well i guess i need to face the music, seeing these pics are awful to me, i love the camera but all my pics are head shots, i promise you i carry so much weight in my stomach i look like im 9mths prego with triplets. Also i have my measurements and it pisses me off, to see these, i will have to go back to my stats and look at the numbers from when i was on here before but i already know i went way up there in inches. Ok here goes nothing, not sure if we were suppose to wait until tomorrow or not to post all of this but i figured i had some time on my hand this evening so i just wanted to go ahead and get it in, so here we go.

Starting weight-330
Bust-57.12 inches
waist-53.3inces
stomach belly button-60inches
R thigh-28 inches
L thigh 27.5 inches
neck-17.5 inches
R arm-13 inches
L arm-14 inches

here we go with the pics sorry everybody, its kind of scary.
Ok i also did a head shot since i look as though i have gained in my face as well and want to see a difference also there.

Re: *~A New Year, A New You~*

I forgot to add what im challenging myself too, well i dont want to get to ahead of myself, since i know im a slow loser with the scale, but i would like to lose 15lbs, but more importantly i would like to lose 20inches all together. So that is my challenge for myself. I will make a more difficult challenge after this one, i just need to see how my body is going to react to losing weight, but i do know im a very slow loser in the scale area, i always lose inces faster.

Re: *~A New Year, A New You~*

lockeshop is my business name and my site and all that jazz...guess I should have thought about that before I used it as my dern screen name.

OH WELL I am still going to do the rest of the challenge right along side of the rest of you. pics or not

2008 is going to be my year!
