These pics are like a year apart- me at my highest weight 312lbs (on the right) and the one on the left I took last night at a birthday celebration(254lbs) I hope it posts lol.

You look fantastic!! Pictures definately do help. If you want to see something that shocks you, pull out your driver's license and look at that photo. I hadn't even thought about it, but I was showing my ID to a checker at a store one day and she did a double-take and was staring at me. I almost got all pissy and did the angry "WHAT?" but then she handed me back my driver's license and when I looked at it I was floored.

Your definitely right about the driver's license pic- mines looks like a whole different person lol.

My driving license is okay, because here you can get your own photos done, so I made sure it wasn't a pile o' doodoo. BUT OH MY GOD, my work ID is HIDEOUS. SOOOOO awful. I need to go in and get them to redo my photo.

Passport is a whole nother story. Train. wreck. Giant pink bowling ball for a face/head. Awful.

We should have a photo-redo day lol

I feel your pain. No kidding, I can't stand to use the GD thing. But I have to use it all. the. time. And it doesn't expire for two more years. I must investigate what happens if I "lose" it and have to replace it... I would scan it in (along with my WRETCHED work ID) just to prove that I WIN when it comes to V. BAD PHOTOS, but I don't even want a digital record that it exists anywhere on the www.

Pictures are great, but I forgot. What really has me encouraged is my old clothes. I'm putting on stuff from a few years ago. Some of it may be out of style but damm I look good! It may only be me but my closet sports clothes for size 30 to 46 (pants). I can cloth a ever growing baseball team. I'm going to get rid of the high and low numbers and find a nice mid point. Hey, you think bell bottoms will make a comeback? I've got some gaberdin slacks that may be a fire hazard.

Great idea!!! I have a ways to go though.... but hopefully I'll get there! BTW Candace, you look BEAUTIFUL!!!!
