Thank you, girls!

Yes, Michelle, I had nothing to smile for in those before pics, and it's hard for me to imagine that I gained an additional 9 pounds after taking them.

I can't wait to have DH take a current one of me this weekend. I'm 151 pounds in my avatar picture so it's time for a new one. Although, this avatar picture makes me look younger than I really am for some reason. Hope the next one looks air-brushed as well. LOL

Thank you all for the encouragement. You are all doing so fabulous!

Sandy, thanks so much for posting those! It truly does make me feel better about posting mine. You're such an inspiration to me so it means so much that you took the plunge with us.

I tried to upload my back shots yesterday and photobucket wouldn't allow it. It put a line across my back. Weird.

That is weird, Chrystine! I'd e-mail them if possible and ask why they did that.

Particularly since they let the front and side view in! the only other thing I could possibly think of is that I have a tattoo on my lower back. Maybe they were blocking that?

And just to support you all with posting befores, here is one of mine (this is me at 204 pounds...gulp...never took another picture after that):



Hope you all haven't eaten yet, cause here's another:

You easily look half your age!! Amazing!!

I found a digital WW scale on clearance at Kroger for $12... bought it, and lo and behold~ the dr's scale WAS RIGHT!! That is actually what triggered my LC lifestyle... I tinkered and toyed with the 170's... but the 190's really hit home for me!!

What if you never saw that difference on the scales...did you see a difference in you?? and if so thats what matters scales are mechanical and maybe not correct..yours or theirs...but if you have seen a difference then its for the good

Hi gang... I stopped taking the combo about a week ago. I've been cheating like crazy and would like to re-start once I get back on track. I just wanted to say that, when I was taking the combo - I saw some TRUE results. I would like to post my pics for encouragement. I'll keep you all posted on my progress, once I start taking the combo again.

Toodles,


Me @ 215


Me @ 160 & still losing

Thanks Tom & Trish Trust me, I was scared to post them, but just like Sandooch stated: "I know how hard it is to post those before pics, but it makes putting up the afters all the sweeter". And she is soooooo right!

I'll be sure to keep you all posted on my progress
