I literally feel like I am gonna throw up or cry, just at the thought of sharing the before pics. I feel like that everytime I look at them.

So...here they are...pictures of a woman, trapped inside her prison.

Have no fear - you've got the looks!

You will be there in no time - Medifast works !!! Just keep shakin' and tell yourself that you and those "other foods" aint friends right now (works for me!)

Gina!

You are a beautiful woman - like me trapped in a body that we don't belong in. Just keep sticking to the program and it works! Look at all the others that have worked hard and have lost the weight!

We can do it! I know we can!!

Gina! Gina! Gina!

Girlfriend you are on your way!! Thanks for sharing the pictures!

You're very pretty and before you know it you WILL be smaller than the pictures!! OK, not the 1st picture but you get my drift!

I know how hard it was to post pictures, I struggled with the same decision. But, it helps keep me accountable!

Keep it going and I can't wait to see your next pictures as you shrink to a skinny minny!!

Gina! That's a huge step to take & I know it's scary but, it's worth it! I'm so glad I get to put a pretty face to the awesome postings! You are my emoticon hero! You are a pretty woman who is going to look amazing.

Gina - Thanks for sharing yourself with us. You're a beautiful person and you're doing so great ... keep inspiring us!

Good for you for rustling up the courage to post the pictures! It's a big step. But, when you think about it, what other place is going to be more understanding and less critical when it comes to photos?! That person is still in there, and you'll have the pleasure and excitement of uncovering a little more of her every day.

Can't wait to see the after pictures!

Hi Gina!!! Thanks for sharing your pics! It's always great to put a face to the name! You are a BEAUTIFUL lady!!! You quite smoking, now you're tackling the fat demon...before you know it, you will look in the mirror and say..."there's that lady I always KNEW was in there!" You already doing SOOOOOO great!!!! Keep up the great work!!!!

Hi Gina! I can totally relate to having a mental image that does not match your photos. I still cannot wrap my head around how I can look in the mirror every day and not see the image that others do. What I see in your photo is a beautiful woman that has made a terrific choice for herself.

Keep up your positive attitude and your determination to stay on plan and soon you'll be seeing the slim body you dream of!

Thanks for sharing your photos!

Gina,

Just remember, its not what's on the outside that counts, its what is truely inside!

I know because I feel the same way that you do. I took pictures of myself with my moms camera, but she can't find her cord for me to download. When I get it, I plan on posting them too. I truely feel like you. I feel like I am much thinner than I really am, even though I know that I've been thinner. I looked at the pictures and nearly threw up..

It doesn't mean we are bad people, and it doesn't mean we are anyless beautiful. It just means that alot of us use food for comfort or other things. I know that I do. I came from an abusive ex-husband and I wasn't heavy when I met him. After the divorce, I planned on losing weight, but after 3 years and too many court battles to count, I still hadn't lost the weight. After I told a friend about Medifast, and she joined Jenny, I decided that I was ready and joined Medifast myself. She and I are supporting each other and competing too..

We are both 5'3 or so and she was just 8 pound lighter than I. We are really good friends, Its really nice to know that I have someone supporting me no matter what.

Its also nice to know that someone loves me for just me, regardless of my weight. **My kids don't care either, however, they don't notice if I lose weight either... lol

You take care, you can do this..

I have even baked twice for the kids.. and gone to McDonalds and Burgerking.. I Baked cookies and made tons of French Toast for the 2 of them yesterday.. French Toast is the hardest, but as long as I have my shakes, I'm good.

Thank the Lord that I have never been truely hungry, it makes it so much easier!

Gina,

Thank you for sending your picture! I know it's hard but you are beautiful. Hopefully as you drop the pounds you will see yourself as we see you!

Hi Gina!

You're gorgeous, girl!!!

Just hang int there like all of us and pretty soon we'll be free from this "prison" our bodies have become.

I know exactly how you feel 'cause I feel like a bird that has fallen into puddle of mud, my wings are too heavy and I can't fly anymore ... I can't wait to be size 8/10 again, or even size 12, which I'd be very happy with!!!

I was size 24 when I started, now I'm size 22 or 20. I even tried my new skirt, size 18 and it closed. It's tight, eventhough the waistline has elastic on both sides. But it closed and felt great! Maybe another couple of weeks on the program and I'll be able to wear it soon!

I have added you to my yahoo IM list, OK! If you see me online, please say hello! I would love to hear from you and your progress on the program!

Love,
{{{hugs}}}

I wanted to thank you all for all the encouragement and nice compliments.
I am starting to see a difference slow but sure. I feel like I am obsessing a bit at this time but if it keeps me straight..so be it. LOL

I have updated up above with some two-week apart comparisons. I can't wait till that daggone purple stuff falls off No more "Barney Gina"

Hugs,
Gina
