Thanks, Kelsey and, by extension, Carla. I did the Photobucket thing, up to re-sizing, and met my downfall. If anyone's ever said to you "Gee, those are lovely steps. Was there a cathedral attached?" you may understand the origins of a phobia.

And I still have the problem of uploading. When I copy the picture and try to paste it here, all I get is the URL. Maybe I'll just keep the picture I took and be the mystery woman for a while. [Long interval] OK. I figured out that I can put it on my personal page. Thanks again for the help.

Oh my... you`ve all done so well! Just the other week I have read (again!) that the Brits are becoming larger, and then I come here and see the complete opposite! It feels so good to see what people can achieve!

I'm kind of in shock. I just had the first food craven I've experienced the whole time I've been in IP. I want so much to go to Henderson's to eat. Do you go there?

SweetSheila, very nice photos!! You can surely see the changes in you and you are looking great!!

Thanks ladies! You all are the best Carla, I do have a hard time seeing it. I can see that I am actually starting to get a neck but that is about it. When I sent it to my family they all couldn't believe it and I had to ask them, "Do you really see a difference? Don't lie to me, it really won't hurt my feelings if you say you can't see a difference yet." LOL As far as the mirror, I am just like you. I can never tell. I hope too eventually I can see a big difference.

I do have a funny story to share. After printing off my before and after photo I showed my two oldest girls and they just couldn't believe the difference. My little 5 year old daughter comes out from her nap and wants to see. I show it to her and ask if she sees anything different. She studies it for a bit and says "I see something different, in this one you have a necklace and in this one you don't." LOL I about died laughing. I said, "Yep Asha, your right! Mommy does have a necklace in one and not the other."

Hi all!
Newbie to the forum. I can't quite figure out how to post a pic in this post, would appreciate some step by step instruction. But, I was able to post a pic in my profile (I think). I'm not a photographer, nor do I photograph well. But, I thought what the heck, why not share. I've got a ways to go, but this will be "The Last Diet"!!!

I followed these directions http://www.ehow.com/how_5126712_make...after-pic.html

to put it on this site--> after hitting the post reply button hit the little paperclip above and attached it. I don't know how to do it otherwise. Hope this helps and can't wait to see

Sheila

You are starting very close to where I started 3 1/2 months ago! We are the same height as well. So far I have lost 37 lbs. and I have a ways to go. I looked at your profile pics and YES there is a difference, very noticible. Keep up the great work.

We all just upload our pictures to photobucket.com (you should resize them before you upload them), and then copy the link for the image on photobucket and paste it here.

Wow you ladies are smoking HOT !!! I missed this thread not sure how !!

Incredible transformation Carla !!

Wow! Carla you really do look amazing. There is a huge difference!

Carla: OMG!!! What an amazing testimony to your strength and endurance and the IP protocol. I would love to see an update.

Fantastic Carla!!! You are doing great, and there is absolutely no doubt that it is noticible! Do you see it now that the pics are side by side?
