So I decided to employ my boyfriend to take before pictures of me. I'll post them later when they're uploaded and when I can figure it out. Anyways, talk about a motivator! He needs to lose weight too so we've been trying to do this together for a long time but end up falling back into old habits. So I took pics of him too!

I also work at David's Bridal and tried on a gown after work.... it was gorgeous, and a size 16 and barely fit. That in and of itself was very motivating too, as well as seeing all of these fit women come in and try on gowns, and I just want that to be me in a couple of years. Anyways, I'm going to make a serious effort to work out this weekend since i get off work early tomorrow, am off on Saturday and am off pretty early on Sunday too.

so woot woot on me finally kicking my own butt!

I think that you will be glad that you took the pictures. I find comparing my "before" pictures to current pictures very encouraging. I don't have a posed full length one because I avoided pictures. I wish I had done that!

I've taken them before but back then i wasn't serious or dedicated to weight loss.

That is a great idea. I can't wait to see them!
