Something is bumming me out on LBT...

I read post's daily, and I like to look at the poster's picture.

How is it you all have SO much ro lose, yet you all look thin to me!

Are you posting old pictures?

I get disheartened when I see someone really struggling and saying that they need to lose 100+ pounds, yet they're thin and beautiful.

I am so obese that I have a picture of my dog as my photo for goodness sake!

What gives?

Fyi. I hate typing on my cell. Sorry for all the typos.!!:*)

No you didn't offend me at all!!! No worries.

And what you are saying totally makes sense.

Someone said to me today " I don't know if its the hair color, or length or what but you look REALLY good! " funny cuz I've dropped 30 lat month and ppl can tell something is different but they don't know what!

BandingMi,

I would be so very happy if I ever got that comment.

Shows you've done well at losing, but people can't see it. I think thats so cool!

I know I was secretly jumping up and down inside. I can't wait until the hips and waist start drawing the attention.. Heehee!

Oh I'm sure they will! If you're getting this kind of attention already, wait till you hit goal! RahRahRah!

Camera angles are usually the answer.

We're all at different stages of this process, so don't compare yourself to others. Personally, I think everyone here is beautiful, regardless of size. We have all lived life as obese people... so there's no judgement here. Show off your pictures proudly.

My first pic on this site 2 years ago was a pic of jimmy buffett because he wrote the song floridays which i use as my onlline name. It wasn't until I was down 100 lbs that I posted a real pic of me.

Now I have lots of pics taken before during and current on my avatar and profile. I prefer looking at the latest one but I cannot get it to resize properly to do it on my avatar.. The one in the black dress was taken at 205 lbs. the one in the green stripe shirt was at 352 on surgery day. I just put a recent one taken on vacation last week... I am at 162. Have a look... I am the real deal. I even cut my hair...huge step folks!! And for comparison check out my before pic in the red shirt... A was a fluffy 377 lbs.

here's a full body shot, first pic oct 2nd, Second pic November 1st.

Looking good Jlyn!!

To my Fluffy friends, your progress and openess to post pics shows bravery, pride and success!

I only had the one picture of me and my late Mom that I posted. But I think I'll take a pic of me now, then later, then later....just like you FLORIDAYS! I can be brave like you and Jlynn!

Okay - I have added my picture - this was taken 2 yrs ago for work - I have probably gained 20lbs since then.

Wow, that is amazing - and you did not age at the lower weight - I see alot of people that loose a lot of weight look way older - that is one of the things that scare me - I always figured my fat filled out the wrinkles - what is your secret - Alicia

aswaffor....You GO girl! You are a very pretty woman! Yay!
