x-posted - before pics

im no longer gonna be ashamed they are me just me no make-up no hair done just me. and they are my starting point.

so i just uploaded em to my profile but wow its weird to look at them and accept that they are me. its weird its sad but then i feel like it can only get better from there if i work my tool.. u can chk em out if you'd like...

oh btw i no i should never wear green spandex i only wear em in the house...lmao 

I smiled when I saw your pix. Not because they were cute, but because that is how I felt/looked at the beginning of my journey. And at how rapidly it all changed.

You are going to be happy with the change too.

Hey, we all have "THOSE" pictures!!   They will soon become an IMPORTANT part of your PAST....don't get rid of them---they represent the old us and we need to always remember where we started so we can appreciate where we've gotten to!

Best wishes with your surgery this week.....when I look at your before pictures I see a gorgeous, vibrant, young, woman ready to jump out!!!  The BEST is yet to come, just wait!!!

Welcome to the LW board!!  I'm so excited you are going to share your journey with us!!   The LW board has been my #1 support group.

You are a beautiful woman and what a great looking family!!

You are going to be so glad you took those!  Later that's where you will see your progress the most is through photos... and it will keep you motivated.  At least that's what works for me!  Good luck to ya!! ;)  Can't wait to see your journey through photos!
