    OK...this is how I did it...
    First save your picture as a jpg document. If you can resize so that they are not huges it is better. The way to do that would depend on your camera software.
    Next...Click on Post Reply
    Click on the attachment icon (it looks like a paperclip)
    click on browse and find your saved pictures

    Tom,
    Yes a picture please!!! We have been begging for months!!!!!!!!! By the way...since this month my weight loss has really slowed down and I will need a fill SOON...plus I had gained from my trip and did lose it again...anyway by slowing down my body has been adjusting and the skin is looking much better...it is not saggins so much and it feels softer.... walking has helped of course, oh and good lotion...shea butter.
    I am in the midst of my son's wedding...the rehearsal dinner was last night and I pB"D BIG time!!! I tought I was wide open...but I guess the stress, especially sitting with the ex and his wife was just too much for my band! I had the worst PB yet to my history...I actually ended up throwing up ALL of dinner...sorry about the picture...but that had not happened to me yet...but it was an hour of pain and running to the bathroom every 5 minutes and not being able to explain!!!!!!!!!! Oh well...it is mushies and liquids today!

    I do need to take pics. It's so hard for me to see but everyone tells me they can see a huge change. I have always hated getting my picture taken but that should be getting better. :biggrin1: Maybe I can get dh to take them this evening or sometime this weekend. I'll get some taken soon.

    Tom, if you have a cell phone with a camera, you could stand in front of a full length mirror and take a picture of yourself. Just a suggestion! People should just mind their own business, shouldn't they? About your weight, I mean. Did those same people tell you that you were too fat when you weighed more? Some people are just very insensitive without even knowing it I guess. I work with a girl who weighs about 95 pounds, and it amazes me the number of people who tell her that she is too skinny. No one ever told me I was too fat, so why do they think it's okay to say that to her? And she's very sensitive about it, because she is trying to gain weight--the girl definately eats--she was just blessed with one of those speedy metabolisms. I hate her a little for that!

    You're doing so well. Now you can change your description to middle aged, balding, healthy-weight success.

    Ex got custody of the digital camera and I've not yet broken down to get one. I'll see what I can do. I'm just your average, middle-aged, balding, not-quite-as-overweight guy.
    People I don't know well are telling me I'm getting too skinny which is why I guess it's hitting home. I expect those that I'm close with to be more comfortable with the "old" me but when people I only see off and on comment about how skinny and think I've lost too much, I start to wonder. I go to the surgeon mid-May so really can't do much to slow the weight loss between now and then. At my current rate, I'll be within 10 pounds of the adjusted goal anyway.

    Beckie reacted to Vikki in help, just got fill on Friday, got sick today   
    The exact thing happened to me the other night. I am a week since my fill and I tried to chop up some really soft carne asada with refried Beans day before yesterday and after 5 bites...............I could tell I was in trouble. I kept having to get up to the bathroom to burp up foam and slime and all of the food finally came up after 30 min of this and total pain. OUCH!! I was really sore yesterday so stuck to Protein Shake and chili for dinner but ate really small bites and chewed really good. You will be sore for at least 24 hrs so go with warm liquids for meals and nothing solid. Sometimes you feel like you can each just about anything and then boom you have a very painful PB which reminds you that you have to be careful. Just let your insides heal from the irritation.
