Hey, folks-

Well, I decided to stop wimping out! Please note that these are before pics, but not the worst of the lot. I don't keep pictures that are absolutely horrible - they hurt my ego! But these are a pretty accurate depiction, albeit probably 10-15 pounds below my highest weight, as I quit smoking and put more on...Anyway, as you will see, these are not full body shots - I swear I was looking for some, but can't find any! (suprise, suprise)





I am about 5'9" and I have not fully determined my goal weight, I chose 175 as an arbitrary number, but I will see how I look and feel as I approach.

Cheers!

Lauren

Haaaa, dear Lauren

So glad to finally put a face on your name!!

Love your hair, I'm gonna talk to my girlfriend about it

I can see in your face and looking at your eyes that distinctive touch that makes some women so special. I think it's that spirit that drives you through this so easily.

Having this weight problem all helps us develop our mind and spirit, and I can see in your eyes determination

Oh my, I'm surely crazy! Someone hit me

Lauren,

If I didn't know better, I'd think Hypey was in love!!! Just pullin' yer leg, hype.

You are gorgeous! I knew you were on the inside, just didn't know you had the whole package!

Hi Lauren,

Just wanted to say I think you're very pretty and have a beautiful smile!

Good Luck and Happy shaking!

Haha Seren,

The cover of Internet sometimes is a good thing, for I can allow me to compliment someone without being badly interpretated and get a slap on my face!!

Lol, women, my father always told me if I ever understand one, it's that I'm in trouble

(Lol, talking about being understood wrong, I am in no kind sexist, or I don't think men are superior or inferior to women... anyway even if I would, I'd be outnumbered in this forum, LOL !!! )

[Lauren]

Well, Hype, I am not gonna hit you after such a nice post! Thanks for all the kind words, you are such a sweetie!

Guess I need some sleep

[Hyperion]

Thanks Lauren,

I knew you would understand the meaning of my talking! (hand Lauren 5$ discretly)

[Lauren]

You guys are so sweet, thank you so much!

Hype, I assure you that no one here would ever think you are sexist or any other negative - you've been a total doll since you arrived!

Jo and Sue, thanks so much for such kind words, you all made me blush!

Hi Lauren. You are striking!

I'm a newbie around here but love reading your posts. I love that you are so outspoken. I have a girl friend that your posts remind me of. I always say that she says what everyone else is thinking. So thanks for speaking up for us timid folks!

I cannot wait to see your after photos. No doubt you will be a knockout! Keep up the good work, I've been watching your ticker and you are definitely an inspiration to me!

Wow, thanks Trixie, that's so nice! Yeah, I have never been the shy type!

My friends always know they'll get it straight from me. Never cruel, but always honest. While I certainly think it is important to be kind and often times diplomatic, I believe most that we should just put it out there for all the world. It's just this is me, this is what I believe, think, feel..take it or leave it.

Anyway, you are doing awesome, and the diet works, so keep working it, Trixie. It just does. Unless there's some medical mystery taking place, if you stay compliant, the pounds will come off. Sure, there may be weeks that people hit a plateau, or other strange issues, but in general, it just keeps melting away. So enjoy it!

Lauren - Thanks for taking that brave step and sharing your pics to go with your pearls of straight talkin' wisdom. You're a gorgeous lady and will continue to inspire so many of us!

[Suzie2006]

You are beautiful!

[Lauren]

Thanks so much, everyone, for such kind words! I highly recommend everyone post their picture, because the response is really nice for the ego! I'll be sure to visit all your wonderful posts if I am having a bad day! :-)

Vicky, I do some plus-size modeling periodically, not as a career, but as a supplement to my career. Interestingly, I need to lose quite a bit of weight to get really serious plus-size modeling work, as we all well know, the top "plus-size" models are only a size 12-14! Thanks, though, for thinking of me for it, that's quite the compliment!

Ciao, people!

Lauren
