I decided to put together a progress album of just facial shots... mostly to encourage myself because I have not been losing weight lately. Omigosh even I can see a HUGE difference!! This is definitely enough to motivate me to keep going!!!

I am starting with the "Before" in approx. November 2005 -- ending with Tuesday, 8/2/06.

There are probably more than anyone wants to look at. But I got excited LOL

Wow what a fantastic change! Your face has really changed. Your a beautiful lady!!!

Thanks Tami! LOL I am still thinking there must be "something wrong" with those last photos as I could not have changed that much. I love how narrow my shoulders look too... unfortunately the huge boobs and stomach are still there!

You look great Misti, I can definitely see a huge difference. You are looking so much younger and your face is very slim. WTG, Congratulations on an awesome job. I love the new avatar pic with the cute hair cut.

Thanks! LOL yah I am looking better as long as you can just see my face, shoulders and legs. It is all that other stuff in between that is the big problem! But I will NOT stop!!

This is exactly what I did when I plateaued, too!

You're so pretty! Very photogenic.

Yup, I looked at them and your smiling face is thinning out nicely.Thanks for the encouraging photos and for the Scripture reminder.

LOL yah we do what we gotta do to keep from giving up, huh? And thanks for the kind words. I could NEVER have made it this far without you and all the other wonderful people here at 3FC!! People pay gazillions of $$$ for "help programs" and don't get a squillionth of the wonderful encouragement we get here!!!

Deb, glad you are blessed by the Scripture reminder. Actually we have a brand new teaching pastor and his first sermon Sunday was about the glory of God... and He used that verse so I latched onto it. It's a great reminder in the grocery store or wherever!!!! \o/ (that is my own symbol for hands lifted in praise.

Misti - we both stalled at exactly the same weight. I wasn't losing for 3 weeks.

What is it about 246 that makes it a sticking spot.

My plateau is officially broken as of this morning - heres hoping yours breaks soon!

Well yay as mine is close to 3 weeks too! You give me hope!! Thanks!!!!

The good news is that I can get into pants and stuff which were too small so I AM losing some inches

Congratulations on breaking through your plateau!!

Misti, are you the same person with the Jeremiah verse before? I am new and I am reading that you changed your photo.

Yep, that's me. Actually I just changed it back to that since I had the other one here. And yes, have to admit even I am not sure I would recognize me from my old photo.

Glad you are here, and I look forward to getting to know you!!!!!! Please share more about yourself as you feel comfortable doing so.

Congratulations Misti! My gosh, you look 20 years younger!

Thanks Suzanne!! And I owe a LOT of it to YOU and your wonderful sisters!! Thank you so much for providing this site for us!!!

Congrats Misti!! It always amazes me how much younger someone looks when they loose weight...
