New guy here. 
In the past 16 months, I have lost (which only took 1 year) 86 lbs. I have maintained (within 3 lbs) that weight for the past 4 months. Body fat is dropping, but loose skin is not my friend. Most say they don't believe I was ever overweight (because they say I look good), but I was really fat. My loose skin isn't hanging, but it looks like fat. Went from a size 44 pants to a solid 32. I have used all of the excuses in the book.
One day I saw that full length mirror, and was blown away at how bad I looked. Decided to change my life, and did.
Just saying hey.
Fat is a choice, fit is a choice. I choose fit now.

you just have to suck it up and do it. IMO it was easier with a tripod, since you don't have to "pose" in front of someone. Just keep in mind that the pics are for you, you never have to show anyone if you don't want to but. Once you change your life, lose the weight... but never took the "before" pics, you'll kick yourself... b/c you can never get "before" pics now. So... if you've decided to change your life, the pics are a 'now or never' deal.

So true about the pics!
When I posted my before one I was dying. I was embarrassed and there was no denying how out of shape I was. With the exception of a few comments, one using it as an avatar, it was worth the support I got. Plus I couldn't wait to post progress pics after that!

Goals
I love fitday, but I just found out there was a forum so I'm excited.
I want to take before and after pictures, cause those are usually great motivation.
Staring weight: 110 lbs
Short term goal: 107 lbs
Long term and ultimate goal: 105 lbs.
I think this is reasonable for me personally, but losing only 5 lbs is really tough for me cause I've been stuck at this weight for ever it seems!
