I have not seen a picture of myself that I haven't cringed at in a very long time, so imagine my delight when this showed up in my inbox after an Oscar party I worked at! I don't even hate it.



I don't have any "before" pictures to compare (I've been avoiding cameras, can you guess why?) but I see considerably less chin than there used to be. People have been telling me that my face looked thinner but I didn't really believe it till I saw this. I've been sliding a little bit in the eating department since last weekend, so hopefully this will motivate me to do better. The first 20 lbs are gone, here's to the next

This also reminds me that I need to get some “in progress” full body pics taken. I’m kicking myself now for not doing that when I started, it would be awesome to get a good look at what 20 lbs really looks like.

Congrats to you! It's a really great picture. You're so pretty!

That's a beautiful picture. We are so much harder on ourselves than we need to be. You look great.

Looking good! Hope your shyness around cameras disappears cuz you look lovely.

WOW, Gorgeous, you are beautiful

you look beautiful!!!!!

You look glowing! Congrats on the 20 pounds that are gone forever!

Lookin good

Keep up the good work

You look super! Congratulations!

wow. do you have a picture of all of you. your husband is lucky. glen

Good picture

Thanks for all the compliments everyone, made my morning a bit brighter! Trust me, most pictures of me do not look this good, I don’t know what happened here. And there is no husband, just a very lucky boyfriend This picture was taken back in October (it seems the only time I end up in front of a camera is at work events) right when I started working out, now that I look at it I wore that same T-shirt to the gym yesterday and it fits a bit looser now.



Sometimes the progress seems so slow I just have to remind myself that any progress is better than no progress at all!

you do look great!!! thanks so sharing your pic with us. i think we do lose our first 20 pounds from our faces. lol. i finally noticed my face looking alittle thinner in a picture this past month. but i won't share it because my bangs were all messed up and i had no make up on and my face was all red.

but anyways, congratulations. that is awesome. keep up the great work!

omg you are so beautiful. if i were you i'd want my picture taken all the time! i'm a lot like you though in the sense that i absolutely hate the camera. always have.
