omg the sword fighting pic rocks!!!! sooo cute!

lmao I love the sword fighting one!

I'll be back to post some of myself

I was looking for regular pictures of me and realised, I ussually get rid of them or I am the one taking the photos. Anyway, here is one of me right before I started WW. I was in Vegas for work and we stayed an extra day to hang out at the pool. a really skinny girl was like oh I'll take your picture for you. After I saw it I was like OHG, I wish she had taken it from the waist up! but hey I'm sure she has never had the thunder thigh problem I have. The other pic is from the same trip when we went out one night. so I don't always look so jazzed up.

Sorry they don't show much more than my face...those seem to be the only one's I keep around

this one is of me in 2002...



And this one was taken at the end of April this year...

Jessie_777, YOU have fantastic hair!

And PS: You look like you weigh at least 50 pounds less than your weight listed...we weigh the same, and I'm wishing I looked like you!

Hex...you are too sweet I spent most of my teen age years fighting my curls....but now we have a mutual agreement; if I don't mess with them, they don't mess with me I have been told that I carry my weight well, but at the same time I swear I look pregnant lol Thank you for the compliments...you made me smile today

Jesie_77 - you know how it is, if you have curly you want stright, and (like me) if you have stright - you want curly - I love your hair!
As far as the sword fighting - that is my sons favorite form of exercise! He is really a pirate, don't 'cha know??

i dont know even know if these are going to work or not... i find attaching photos to be quite difficult. well, i dont have a before picture as of yet... i do have ONE but it needs to be scanned. most of my pictures from last summer (which was when i started) were on my computer which got a virus and died, soooo now i only really have recent pictures. these are a couple.

they aren't the most flattering of pics, but hey, its what i look like. um, in the picture with the white skirt, i dont usually look like crap like that. and in the second picture, i am on the left. hopefully my brothers girlfriend wont mind that i am posting a pic of her (shes on the right). uh the third one is a blurry side view... we still havent really gotten the swing of using my new camera. for some reason, it takes random blurry pics. i think it is the type of camera where you need to know what you are doing to use it. anyway, this is me!

bf and i..sorry not really a full length picture, only one i could find on this comp

Wow, everyone looks so great! I don't know if I have any good pictures of me at all, I'll have to look. I sure don't have any of me at my goal weight, since I haven't been under 145 since I was a teenager!

Megan...you like almost EXACTLY like my best friend Mandi from High School! I had to click on those pics twice! haha. You look really good at the weight you're at! Keep it up!

Okay, here are my pics . . .

The first one is the "before" pic, from when my bf and I had just arrived in RI after a road trip and were moving into our new apartment. The second is from maybe February or March, after I got a haircut (hard to see because of the jacket). The third and fourth are from about a month ago, I'm making a weird face because my bf had taken my camera and started taking pictures of my butt! The last one is from a couple weeks ago, which I took because I thought it was hilarious how much my hair had curled from the humidity, especially considering I had put straightening lotion on it!

Hopefully doing the attachments works right, now sure I did it right.

TannyMc- you look great! I have that skirt you're wearing in the first pic- love it! Congrats on your weightloss!

I'm new.. buuut...

The first picture is of me about 2.5 years ago when I had first gotten my prom dress. That was when I realized things had gotten out of control.

The last picture is when I actually wore it, so about 2 years ago. There is about a 35lb difference in those, and my mini goal right now is to be 199, four pounds more than my lowest.

The middle picture is of me today. I don't think I have any recent full length shots because it is too frustrating.

I do not understand how anyone over 180lbs can find cute clothes! I think I have decent fashion sense, when I am under 150lbs...but shopping as a larger girl is SO hard! I just give up and wear the same outfit every single day...jeans and a loose polo shirt. Wasted Thermos you need to take me shopping and teach me your secrets!
