How'd ya do on the other ones? :D

I did all of them! I ran a mile in 8:45 (have not been able to break into 8:30 yet), I hung out with my best friend loads for the few days before he went back to Chicago, and I tried to smile more, plus I have 15 people feeding my site right now!

Does anyone else hate seeing themselves in pictures?
 

This may seem like a stupid question, but it has been bothering me for some time now. I never liked taking pictures before I was pregnant (and gained 90 pounds!!), but it was always because I had some goofy smile on my face or I thought one of my eyes was smaller than the other, but now, since my giant weight gain, I am an concious effort to stay out of pictures and hate it when people ask me to be in one. I just looked at my mother-in-law's myspace account were she posted Easter pictures of our whole family, and in every picture of me I just thought wow, I am huge! When I look in the mirror vs when I look at a picture of myself, the two images look totally different. Does anyone else do this, or is it just me? I'm not sure if I just am use to looking at myself in a mirror or what. I can look in the mirror and think, ok this outfit doesn't make me look to big, but if someone were to take a picture of me at that exact moment and show me, I would think that I looks huge in the picture. I was just wondering, it is a real depressor for me. Thanks everyone! I hope everyone is on track with their goals and hope you all had a great Easter!!!!

Ok, I think that's right. I wish it was the other ticker :( I'm working on it tho. Have a good a week everyone!

Katie- I'm so jealous... I'm still in 18's... tell the 14 fairies so spread out the good fortune

Glen- I use to always think I looked fabulous and then I'd see a picture and be like OMG...

Ladies I hope I'm in onderland when I weigh on friday...but do you think if I got their sooner I could still count it? haha

Thank you... I just wish my a** would catch up with the rest of my body

I can't wait to get out of the 200's. I'm currently at 209lbs and I'm in between sizes right now...so annoying! I'm wearing a size 20 pant that always seem to wanna fall off, but my size 18pants are a bit too snug to be comfortable in, at least for me. Ive always had issues with my hips and finding pants. O.O At my lowest weight 140-150 i was wearing size 16 a little loose, hip bones fully exposed. That just doesn't seem right to me. Were am i losing weight! lol

I read 206 on the scale this morning! Glad to get a little loss...finally!

I too wish my lower half would catch up with me. I feel like my hips and butt are sooo out of proportion with the rest of me. Ugh.

kabaker- I can wear a size medium top and I'm still in a size 18 jeans... I drew a picture of myself in paint for the weekly chat girls...I carry a lot of weight on my hips and sides...its weird looking if you ask me... I also have a lower belly pouch thing... one day at a time

I'm sort of in between sizes as well. My size 18 work pants were falling off of me, but the 16 ones are a little snug. My 18 jeans are currently just right (not even too tight coming right out of the laundry).

i did it! i hit onederland once more its been months. except right now i'm hungry and a salad sounds good

Congrats Lissa! :carrot:

Here I am to join you ladies.... I have lost quite a bit but wonderland just seems out of reach and I have been stuck in the 200s forever.... I got on the scale today and saw 206.5 so I hope it will be even closer tomorrow... everyone cross your fingers ;)
