The Incredible Shrinking Woman! - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

frannymae · 09-02-2003, 04:23 PM

I just had to share a major NSV with all my beach friends...I know you'll understand.

I have been taking picture of myself wearing nothing but a bra and panties since I started loosing weight and taking better care of myself. It was supposed to be monthly, but I fell off the wagon in April or so, and then started the SBD in June. So, the last pics I had were from April, but I was about the same size when I started SBD.

I just took new pics, and the difference is amazing! I took all the pics and made them into a "slide show" so they display one after another....January front view, February front view, and so on.

I just watched the silly thing and almost cried. I have lost a total of 9 inches off my bust, waist, tummy and hips since I started SBD! That, plus the 10.5 I lost from January to April has made a HUGE change in how I look.

Pounds lost is one thing...but when you can see the pictures and SEE the inches lost and a figure starting to emerge...It really does make it all worth while.

For now, these pics are strictly "my eyes only"...but maybe when I get to where I want to be I will post them. It still pains me to look at the "then" pictures, but I'm so glad I took them!

And even more glad that I found this forum! I love you guys!

Congrats Franny!!! Yes, the board would not be the same without you. You gave me a good idea to take pictures wearing a bra and panties. Right now all I have are regular pictures, but I can see a huge difference in my face. I am so glad for you!!!!

Frannie, That is wonderfull and very brave. I still don't like to look at myself in the mirror below the neck. Julie

Franny, I'm so happy for you, hon! What a great idea... I wonder if I dare...

Ruthxxx · 09-02-2003, 08:54 PM

I was wondering the same thing, Ellis. I know my digital has a timer but..... Of course I'd have to stash the pics away somewhere safe in my PC and never EVER print them.
Shall we do this on Saturday after Dim Sum!
JUST KIDDING, SILLY!

Franny that is SOOOOO fantastic. That's the important thing ... feeling better about yourself and you obviously do, and with good reason. How brave, taking those pictures ... I don't allow pictures of myself except for special occasions.

WAY TO GO FRANNIE!!!!

LADY WINDSONG · 09-03-2003, 05:36 AM

To the new you.

You are the same inside and out only there is a little less of you.

You are an inspiration and a joy to know only a little less to hold.

You are smiling more and glowing more only a little less to behold.

You are the Incredible Shrinking Woman.

Woo Hoo

Hugs, feels like a little less, but still a great hug!

Lady

frannymae · 09-03-2003, 08:20 AM

Thanks for all the good thoughts and congrats, everybody!

Marcie-what a sweet little ditty! Already composing a melody in my head.

My DS (7) saw my "then" pic and said..."There was a lot more of you back then!....Where did it all go?"

Beats me...but I'm glad it "went!"
