Hello everyone ~
I just purchased my first set of MF; it hasn't even arrived but I am revved up and ready to go. I will be going and buying a disposable digital camera this week to do the before and after shots ~ any suggestions on what to wear? I'd like to REALLY appreciate the before and after. Are dark clothes against a light background better, etc? Any tips greatly appreciated!

Also, I love the cool ticker marks I have seen ~ where can I get those? Or do you have to lose a certain amount of weight first?

Glad to be here and beginning of the new "me" ~

HI CASSIE,
So glad you joined the crowd. You'll find everyone so helpful you won't believe it!
The ticker I like is below and anybody can use it free!
<snip>no urls please - Mr. Snippy</snip>

There are numerous others so you might get some other options.
Just check some of the other "before' pics on STUDIO and you'll find all kinds of ideas on taking pictures.
You are starting on an exciting new adventure and if you decide to go 100% you will be amazed at the results.
Great to have you,

Lizabette :heart:

Hi

Hi Casma!

I'm SO glad you're getting ready to start shakin' with us! Welcome! We're here if you have any questions/problems AND to celebrate your victories with you!

As far as the pictures, a different color than the wall is helpful, but mostly it's for YOU so YOU can see how far you're going to come! Also, don't forget to take your measurements before you start too so you can keep track of your progress and victories that way as well!

I myself use tickerfactory for my weight ticker. What you do for this kind is go to wwwdottickerfacorydotcom and enter in your stuff. It will then give you a code. You copy from [img] to [img] and post it in your profile. If you have any questions about this, there is a section in the "web room" section of this wonderful forum.

I've gone on long enough...just glad you're with us!

WOW! Thanks so much for all the welcome - arklahoma -- VERY cool!

So nice to have encouragement and hope ~ and what inspirations your photos are! I am not looking forward to putting my photo up, i can only hope this MF works so much I can provide that same inspiration to others! I look forward to getting to know more of you!

Welcome. I like the photos where people wear the same outfit each time (at least as long as they can), and the ones where they do a side shot so you can compare really easily. (I don't have those, but I like the idea.)

I wish I'd saved one pair of pants from my starting point. I would love one of those photos where you stand in the pants and hold 'em out to show how much bigger they are. Good for you for planning ahead!

Hi casma,
i can only hope this MF works
it'll work and you will be an inspiration to others; more importantly, to your self!!!
The first few days may be less than pleasant, after that you're good to go.
Hang on, Sister, and enjoy this ride-

Hi there Casma
I'm a bit late... but I'm adding my Welcome to you. I haven't been on the boards much lately... hmmmm... but I'm an "oldtimer" who has watched many many people including me part with the pounds.
You can do it ... IT will WORK -- but only if you "work it". Please be very very compliant and if it's not in the Quick Start booklet .. it's "not in your mouth." Be sure and drink lots and lots of water too. We want to flush your system. Did you know fat stores all kinds of unwanted things?? Well it does :cry: We want those things gone. :D
Take it meal by meal... you'll make it.
I'll be watching you too.
