Has anyone else noticed how amazing we all look in our profile pics?

  • Popular Post

For people who have large amounts of weight to lose, we all sure look amazing in our profile pics! We might not have mastered the whole eating thing, but we sure know how to find the best angles for our selfies :D Can't wait to see how great everyone looks 6 months to a year from now!

I was thinking the same thing today when I uploaded my own profile pic! Lol.

It's very clear that many WLS patients are world-class yo-yo dieters.

And their avatars are their skinny pix.

;)

@@anniebanana I was thinking the same thing earlier! LOL If we look THIS good now, can you imagine how fabulous we're going to look AFTER? B)

I think from the neck down I look a lot better, but there is no denying that I look old in the face. I've also noticed that even though I did not have any issue with hair loss, my has silvered drastically this past year. Don't know if it is related or coincidence.

@@VSGAnn2014 Not mine...mine is me at 264! I just found the perfect angle I suppose :P

I'd post me at my worst as my avi pic......but there's no way all that flab would fit within the confines of the tiny avi pic spot.

That's why I put it in my profile pics. Fat, tired, hurting and about broke down......just 8 months ago. No flattering angles....just a front and side pics of a guy who was ready to break free from that and reclaim his health and activity level.

Now......life is much improved. I can't even begin to imagine how much better it gets by Summer 2017.

Yup.....everyone please keep the faith and stick to your plans. You will be so glad you did. Life gets so much more fun and easy when the pounds melt away.

Congratulatioooons to every one! Im super excited about it, its my first day on this forum and i think i made a pretty good choice joining bariatric pal..

Blessings!

Lol my profile pic wasn't one from a yo yo diet or at my thinnest. My profile pic was taken about 2 weeks ago at my heaviest. It's a face shot. You don't see me posting full body shots...yet! Surgery is August 22nd!
