New message board picture

I was out of town for a few days and came back to see that OH let's us change our own message board pictures now. wohoo! So I decided to animate my before and after pictures. I gotta tell you, the difference shocked me. How could I forget so soon how that before girl looked? I just showed my son. His comment? Got Damn!! When was that before picture taken! He has forgotten her as well. I kinda like that Gigee

Wow, what a difference. It is amazing. You look incredible. I would love to have my picture flash back and forth but for now I am happy with my daughter showing me how to put my old picture inside the new one. I put it on the fridge so I can remember that old person and never go back to her. Ellen

I can create it for you. Just say the word! smooches!! I have to admit. The picture of the old me keeps me grounded. Gigee

Now my friend you understand why I never wanted to update my before picture. Its grounding to see yourself as before the loss just to keep the loss from going to a gain. I do like the pic in the pic to see them both. I should update it but I don't think I have changed much from the last year pic. Hope all is well with you. Enjoy the three day weekend. Hugs and No Blankets (Yes I am really warm!) Debbie

I would have to agree that this head shot of you is still very representative of the you today. Since I've never seen the body attached to that particular photo well then, I just don't know. But I would guess that there have been a ton of changes in the past year . You are warm? Well come over here. Seems like this household feels as if they just have to have the air conditioner on. I'm freezing! lol You enjoy your weekend as well!! Big hugs to you! Gigee

Gigee, This is the first time I saw your old picture. Girl I agree with your son. Where was that women. Do you have to have your picture on disk or something? I would love to do my before picture but I only have paper copies. Give me the scope. I'm behind modern technolgy. See you lighter. Joanne

Joanne, My before picture was taken about a month before my surgery while at support group. Elissa took that for me. So yes, it was sent to be electronically. If yours are just hard copies you should be able to get them scanned in with no problem. Any local Kinkos can do that for you. The tricky part is sizing them all just right to get them to not look distorted when you are getting them ready to put up on this site. If you get them scanned in just email to me and I can do that for you! Gigee

Gigee, Thanks for the information!! I will take them to Kinkos and get back with you. I love this new feature and can't wait to see my old picture on there. My nice sister has given me some before pictures and then said I didn't realize you were that big. It is amazing to see all the transformations in all of us. Sometimes we don't really see this for alot of us didn't meet until some of the weight was off. See you lighter. Joanne

It is indeed a transformation. We are butterflies just coming into our own. When you send me your before pictures be sure and send me a recent picture as well. Take a new one just for this . I'll get it created for you. Gigee

Gigee. I will take a new one but I need to wait a few. My stomach is still swallen from my hernia repair and T/T. I'll see if I can get my niece to take one next weekend. See you lighter. Joanne
