Default The photo that started it all
I found it. Its....amazing in a sense. I cant believe i let myself get that bad. And it brings back all the fears of going back to being like that again. Not that everything was bad because i was at that weight, but just look at it! No wonder i have trouble coming to terms with being a lower weight.

Anyway, here it is. It was taken around Christmas 2007 (sorry the pics are kinda odd, had to edit other people out)



And to put it in perspective, here's a picture from Christmas 2008



I feel like crying. Crying because of what I've done for myself, the change, the fact i spent so much time at a weight i didnt like, being too scared to try and change it...

It also makes me excited. I gotta go buy myself some dumbells now

Post your pictures that started it all for you!

Here's the most recent picture of myself that I took in years... I actually had a video of myself doing the chicken dance with my 2 year old son in the candy aisle of walmart that was part of a dare (long story) but the picture was too big for the post so I included this one instead. It's still frightening to me...



and here is one from college before i gained all of this weight

Painted lady- awesome! I hope to have the same one day ^_^

Lita- maybe we all feel the fear. I try to use it as motivation, but sometimes it is a bit over whelming. The older picture looks like great motivation too, shows that you CAN get there. I've never been a healthy weight in my adult life, so its all sort of new and strange to be getting close to that >.<

Lynsey- amazing difference in your face!

Painted lady, Iconised Ghost and Lynsey... your pics are all amazing!
Lynsey, the change in your face is so dramatic, congratulations!
Painted lady, wow, looking HOT!
And Iconised Ghost... I don't think your "before" pic is as bad as you think it is lol but you look fabulous and you look healthy and happy! Good for you!

And LitaScarlett... girl you look good in your "before" too! But wait til you get back to what you want, you are doing great so far!

Lynsey, I just saw your full body shot too... WOW!

I'm so tempted to post my own pics but it would just be for vanity purposes, they're already up in the mini goal photo album. Gotta get a little attention for losing all this weight once in a while though.

this thread is all about glory and motivating others. Post your pics if you want, we're all itching to see them anyway Maybe my before photo doesnt look as bad because there is no one else in the photo to put it into perspective lol

I'd like to say that the photos from my son's baptism were the AHA! photos but I would gain almost 15 more lbs before I finally started my weight loss.

At any rate..

what a difference a year makes, huh?
