Hey All,

I am asking a rather silly question, but wanted to get everyones opinion. As you know I will be ordering and begining MF about the 15th. I plan on posting photos and I have found that those who post updates every 4 weeks are very inspiring. I will do the same. Should I post a before at the start or wait 4 weeks and post both, seems silly to ask, but I don't want a down photo with no see it does work at the side. However, I also think having this like HUGE picture will also keep me on track because the internet never dies and I could not stand to have that out there for the world to see and do nothing to change it! Please don't say do what I want I really want other opinions....I should also mention, I am not shy, I will HATE the pictures but it won't embarrass me to post them, this is who my children see everyday....and that sucks for them, kids deserve pretty mommas

oh anyone who wants to pm me on how to post an avatar, I would be greatful

Lucy - I would definitely post at the start. Sometimes it's so hard to see your own progress, and having a photographic record of it not only helps you see - it helps inspire others!
Oh - for your avatar you need to email a small pic to Unca Tim and he will upload it to your profile. Hope that helps...

Lucy,
It's up to you, but I voted at start. It's so fun to watch people progress! It's very inspiring!

Also, you see yourself every day, it's hard to notice the changes that we do. If you don't post them at first, MAKE SURE you have them, because you're going to wish you had them when you're nearing goal and say WOW look at this, look how far I've come!

I am not sure I agree. I think kids deserve parents who do the very best with what they have. And now you have Medifast and all the support of this board! Lucky you! Lucky kids!

You are right Biki, at the end of the day it is the love and care you give them, that is far better than looks anyday....probably my own self consciousness , I have gotten the "looks" from the younger, thinner moms and even a few suggestions , like you know "you really need to try to do something about your weight, for your kids sake" did I mention I never met the woman before...I was speechless, and I am rarely speechless.

I am never surprised anymore by the audacity of strangers. I am very sorry you had to deal with that.
