Picture Day!
 

So my friend and I have been taking bathing suit pictures periodically.... we did them again last night. I'm still not exactly a candidate to model for Victoria's Secret (but then again, don't want to be that skinny anyway), but after 12 pounds, there is definite visible progress. It's pretty motivating to look at the pictures and SEE indisputable proof that the food planning and working out is producing (however slowly!) some visible results!

Are you going to share the photos??? We'd love to see your progress!

Well, at the risk of sounding like a relic from another century, I don't actually know how to post photos here. And if I could post them, I'd probably be embarrassed of them, because while there is visible improvement, it's laughable compared to the extreme-makover photos that some of the ladies (and gents!) here have posted. It's enough to make me happy and want to keep going, but everyone else would be wondering how I could get so excited about a mere 12 pounds! ("OK, so your tummy's a little flatter, get over yourself!") Perhaps when I hit goal, I'll post the first and the last (If I know how by then!) - that will be the most "dramatic" difference.

Mere?!?! Mere?!?! 12 pounds is not mere! It's a wonderful loss!

I agree with Allison! 12 pounds is fantastic! Be proud of yourself and keep up the good work!!!!
