BamaBabe (Nikki) pics... UPDATED!!

Postby BamaBabe » July 16th, 2006, 10:32 am

Greetings all! :D (Scroll down to see my edit/update!)

I'm a new kid on the block & hope I'm doing this properly... linking to pics on my own server, so hopefully this flies :) I was so inspired by everyone's pics, I wanted to share some of mine :mrgreen:

I went for my yearly "If Mama Ain't Happy, Ain't Nobody Happy" trip to visit my girlfriends in Chicago & Milwaukee in June, so these are the most recent pics of me, from that trip:

I'm quite a big ol' gal these days (had to cut out my long-time GF Amy - we were leaving her house for a surprise girl's nite out... her darling hubby took this pic):

Image

The next one of these you see will be me holding my Medifast shaker! ;) This is me at dinner w/ my GF's Amy & Laura...

Image

Here is a pic of me from 100lbs & a lifetime ago, at just below my goal weight!

Image

And, finally, here are my Kiddos & my Hubby:

Not sure if that's too many pics to post, but I wanted to share a bit about me & my bunch from the "Come on in" post I made earlier :)

Happy to be here & looking forward to being a big loooooooser!!
God bless!
Nikki :mrgreen:

Edit / Update!!! Aug. 14, 2006


As per the latest post in my Journal, I ended up taking two weeks off plan, just because I realized I'd violated rule #1 and didn't chose my start date carefully. I didn't pig out too badly, but didn't *waste* any more of my MF shakes after a few days of constantly goofing up & stress eating over & over. Started back full force last Fri. and am already darn near where I left off on the scale. So, just to see if I could see any changes (and to try out my sweet new cam! lol) I thought I'd take a face shot & put it right next to the original I posted here from June...

Voila!!! Me, 14 lbs and 1 extra chin lighter:

Image

I can actually see a little tiny bit of difference! I'm so motivated!! :mrgreen: God BLESS you all for your ongoing support!! :D
End Edit/Update

You have a beautiful family. You know, I am not even brave enough to look at my old photos. I miss me too much. I dont' think it would inspire me at this point. You look fabulous now, but imagine after reaching goal!! Can you say WOW?!?

THANKS SO MUCH Ladies!! :D So happy to be here & wanted to go ahead & put some faces w/ my posts! ;)

I know exactly what you mean, supermom... it has been very difficult for me to crack open those old albums! :roll:

I guess I finally just got ticked off about it (vs. years of bummed out & sad) & decided that the old bod is STILL in there somewhere, just drown out by the present chub. Doing a little "brain training" on myself, I guess... trying to see the OLD BOD as the REAL BOD, and not get mired down any longer in the pork-chop version I see of myself in the mirror. As much as it hurt like the dickens to see just how that padding has changed me physically, I kinda had to start looking at the old pics to focus on a horizon for myself.

Dunno, maybe that can help a bit to stay on track, when you're ready to "go there"... because now that we have the "no-brainer" tool of Medifast, the only thing standing between ALL of us & our hot bods is time, Girlfriend!! ;)
Nikki :woohoo:

For jumping on the Medifast wagon.
Your pictures are fantastic, and especially the kiddos.
Your under goal picture will give us a heads up on what to expect when you get to goal!
Get that gorgeous face on your avatar, Girl...'spect to see it soon!

Your wonderful family has so much to look forward to with the new 'old' you!
We're with you all the way!

THANK YOU!!! :bow:

Heya Miz Lizabette... I emailed Unca my av - maybe he will get to it soon :) I'd found a pic of me at my actual goal weight, although it was scanned from a newspaper article, cut to exclude another person & filtered w/ blue film in photoshop... :roll:

A tad off from my weight now (bwahaha!! by 100lbs or so! lol), but will CERTAINLY motivate me with every single post, AY!?!! :you: ha ha
Nikki :woohoo:

Image NIKKI-BABE!

Oooooooooo, this mama is impressed! Gorgeous avatar! Listening to your life/song, Admiring your 'fabulous four' and DH.
Four daughters! Four weddings! The $ signs are ticking off in my head.
My soulution, unless you guys are zillionaires, is this:

Get them all engaged at the same time and have a Quad/Wedding! Save a bundle that way.
And you will be their skinny gorgeous Mom, singing at their wedding!
Ya gotta plan ahead these days, right?

Seriously, we are THRILLED to have you with us.
We already know you will make it FUN for us as we all shake toward our goals!
Hey, check out the JOURNAL section and let's hear more about you, my dear.

Miz Lizabette :heart:

Next Mini-Goal: 140# and counting down to the big one!

What a precious, precious family!!

I can't wait to see the effects of MediShopping (as opposed to PhotoShop) on you! We've already got a preview of what to expect.

Nonetheless, you are so GORGEOUS now!!! That hubby better keep a sharp eye out.

Thanks for the peek into your family, Nikki.
Here's to our mutual success! :buddies: --Diana
