(Nervously) Posted New Pics & Three Month Stats...

Okay..at what point will posting pictures of myself get easier...it is so hard for me to do....ahhhh...I still am fighting old fat me who ran away from the camera every chance she got.

But, today was my three month surgerversary, so I had my hubby snap some pics and I did my measurements .....I posted the pictures in my 3-Month Photo Album & the measurements in my OH Blog.....I still have between 66-76 more pounds to go, but it's nice to be more than half-way there.....

I was happy that as of today I have lost -53.25 total inches....that was kinda cool to see......

xo, Micheala.

You'll be a pro picture poser before you know it!  Just keep on doing it, and as you see those changes, the weight sheds, you will be happier and happier each time...  but still, it will feel weird since you've dodged cameras for so long!

Why heck, next thing we know it, you'll be on the front cover of People!

Mel--as soon as I can duplicate the cute-as-a-button-in-front-of-the-tree-pretty-woman pose that you have in your avatar I will want my pic taken all the time....thanks for all the nice things you said!!!  xo, Micheala.

Michaela...  last night at the Centennial support group, Steve said that I looked really different than what I looked at my house when he came here recently.  I laughed.  Cause at home, I look pretty daggone bad!  I clean up pretty well, WHEN I NEED TO! LOL

Naww, that picture in my avatar was the best out of probably, 25.  Some showed my little fat pocket on the left side so I nixed em.  Hey, I have my bad spots too!

I know exactly what you mean, I am at six months and I still HATE being on the front side of the camera!

You are doing amazing! 
HUGS

I know! Everyone teases me about how many pics I take of the kids--which I love to do--but sometimes I think staying behind the camera is purposeful!!!  Hopefully, I will be able to shake that soon......maybe at goal! xo, M.

I know how you feel too.  I have got to where when we go somewhere I have my husband take LOTS of pictures of me doing different things.  That way I am sure to get at least 1 picture that I am happy with.  At least I am the only one that has to see (and delete) the bad ones.

BUT...I have to say you REALLY look fabulous in your new pictures.  You really don't look like you have 60-70 more pounds to go..REALLY.  I am sooo proud of you.

That's so smart....maybe now I will have Tim take lots of pics of me so I can delete the bad ones...I hate to stand still for one picture, so that will take some getting use to.

You are doing GREAT, too!!! Can you believe it has been three months since our surgery?  Sometimes it seems like forever, actually, and then I can't believe 3 months have gone by!!!  I'm so proud of you TOOOO!!!!!

Keep up the great work & workout for me until my foot heals!! xo, M.

 YOU LOOK INCREDIBLE!  It goes without saying that you ARE incredible!!!
I'm kinda with Kerri here, if you lose another 60-70 lbs, where's it gonna come from???  

Wow, Micheala.  I can't believe it has only been 3 months.  I'm just speechless at how well you are doing!  You are such an inspiration!

Sorry to hear about your stress fracture!  I'm thinking it's not going to slow you down much at all, boot, cast or whatever they end up doing.  Just be kind to yourself and give those tootsies time to heal.

I'm so impressed, Micheala!  Keep on doing what you're doing and helping keep me focused on my own journey, seeing such success in your own.  And you'd better post LOTS of pictures you with the kiddies at Disney!  

HUGS!!!

Oh my...let's see....hips, butt, thighs, arms....EVERYWHERE...I can think of lots of places the next 60-70 pounds can come from!! LOL!!!!  Trust me! 

So, I'll just keep plugging away.  I have been at the 221 stall for three days, but that's okay..usually day 4 or even 5 it dumps two or three pounds, so I am looking forward to being in the teens soon!

You are doing amazing.....talk about inspirational...I purposely read your posts for MY inspiration!!!!  To be able to keep your food intake at bay w/minimal restriction...priceless.....I am the whimp that had to have RNY, despite my PCP encouraging the band, because I didn't have enough faith in myself...not faith that I would eat too much, but too much of the BAD stuff---I definitely needed to worry about dumping & sugar---my vice.

So, I can't wait to see you in person...you are the incredible melting woman!! xo, M.
