Man I do not like looking at pics of myself for the last 6 years or so. But in the spirit of full disclosure and committing to accountability....here they are, my official "before" pics. DH did not tell the dog to get out of the picture before he snapped them.




Definitely looking forward to posting some after shots. I've never been photogenic and being fluffy sure doesn't help.

P.S. If this doesn't work, Unca please give me a hand....

okay here are the updated pics...there's 34 lbs less of me and I'm halfway to goal. Unfortunately I still seem to squint when I smile. i guess I'll work on that next....




Need Unca's help here...

Thanks MF!!

I know how you feel, but thanks for posting them anyway. You don't look like you have that much to lose (and I'd kill for your legs!), so you'll be posting happier pictures in no time!!

[Drama Queen]

Thanks for taking the plunge and posting your pics. You are on your way and with MF you will reach your goal in no time. It's so great to put a face with a name.

Nice get-away sticks!!!!! You'll be at goal in no time.

Thanks for posting. Can't wait to "see" the weight start to fall off of you.

Thanks for sharing your picture with us. I still don't have the courage to post mine. Someday......LOL.
You don't have a long way to go, in no time you will be at your goal. Best of luck

Thanks for the pic, it's nice to see a face with the posts, I'm still working on getting over my fear of posting my pic....mine is a lot worse, i hate pics! i can't let you guys suffer....

Hi, Shadow!

What great legs and arms! And just think, that was the LAST picture of you at that size!! Now you'll be able to whip it out when people don't believe you were ever fluffy!

That looks like a great gardening outfit -- do you garden?

What kind of dog do you have? We have rabbits and birds here (Mike's allergic to cats and I don't do well with dog dander -- if it weren't for that, we'd have rabbits, birds, cats AND dogs!).

I can't wait to watch your progress! As beautiful as you are now, it's only going to get better! Go get 'em!!!

You have joined the rest of us scary brave hearts who have posted our "before" pics.
All of us know how you feel...but wowzer, you have nothing to be afraid of.

You look wonderful already,but it is going to be amazing to you what a differnce a few weeks and months will make.
We can't wait to see your followup pictures sooner rather than later!

I like your name. Some of my friends now say that I am a "shadow of my former self". I love that!

Thanks for posting, brave heart!

Hi Shadow!

Thanks for posting your picture. I know it's hard at first...but before you know it you'll be so amazed with your progress you'll be EXCITED to post updated pics!

Stick with the plan and in no time at all you'll be shakin' and losin'!

Thanks everyone, for the encouragement. Today is day 7 and I've lost 5.5 lbs already. I know that it will slow down the next week and I'm preparing myself mentally for that. I need to learn to weigh just once a week and not twice a day. No one can see any weight lost yet, but I'm telling people about my diet so they will keep asking me about my progress. At first I thought I would keep it a secret, but I think when you tell everyone, it keeps you more on the straight and narrow and helps to keep you from falling off the wagon.

[DntCryLilEmoGrl]

hey shadow! i know is definitely scary posting before pics...but just think when you take newer pics after losing...you will be able to see where you started and how far you came. i personally cant wait to take my -20lbs during pics i feel a little different but i dont see it yet :P... but we are our own worst critics.

look foward to taking the mf journey with you
