OK Amy...I found pics of me "before". I am so not proud of them and would definitely not go around sharing them with just anyone so you guys should feel special.

Late Summer 2010

These two are from February 2011 either right before or right around when I got started. They are body only pics, but I promise, it is me.

And just so I have something to show off I felt pretty good about the way I looked this morning and knew I had to have some comparison shots for the befores above so here is me this morning. Forgive the goofy look on my face. My hubby always says I never smile when I take my own pic and this face would be the reason that I don't! LOL

As far as time frame, weekly would probably be too often. The reason for it is to see change, for some people it may be every other week, monthly or less often. I'd say get some good pics now. Get busy, I mean really busy. Pour your heart and soul into it like you've never done for anything in the past. After you've dropped 10 pounds, take pics again, try to get the same location and same poses. IMO digital pics are the best b/c you can easily edit them into being a side by side comparison. Once you get to a weight or a size that you are semi comfortable with, you'll be willing to post pics of you at your worst! If you don't have those before pics, you'll be kicking yourself! Ask anyone that has or hasn't taken before pics. They'll all say they are glad they did, or WISH they had.

I was in Chi-town last year. Had a great time, but didn't make it back to the hotel until like 4:30am.

Cupcake? Aww, I guess that means I can have a blueberry muffin for breakfast.

You'll be glad you took those pics, just like April does!

I bet you feel great!

I must admit, it's nice seeing so many people post pics in this thread... Ann, Terri & April (I hope I didn't miss anyone).

Mike, I'm so glad your epidural is finished--and that it was successful.

I haven't read any posts for a couple days. Have been really under the weather with seasonal allergies--pollen and mold are HORRIBLE right now.

Have been in bed napping as much as possible to escape misery. And when awake I've been eating whatever I felt like eating without regard to my goals and targets, So right now I don't even want to know my numbers. Last night I had a doughnut and a McDonald's Southern Style Chicken Sandwich and didn't care... I'll buck up when I feel better.

Kudos to all who are doing well and big clean cyberhugs (with no coughs or sneezes included) to all who are struggling.
