And my 2 cents...you look fabulous now! If it's the motivation you need now, go for it! But what an even greater treat it will be for yourself once you reach goal! Cause once you reach goal, you're going to have to go back and get new ones taken!

boo boo- I'm so excited to see the pics when you have them done! i wish i was there to do your make up. I love doing make up!

Brandy,

You should do it now girl. I'm planning on doing a sexy photo shoot around Valentine's Day. You should check out this site, they have gorgeous vintage and rockabilly stuff.

I think it is an awsome Idea to keep you positive about your body! sometimes I get too stuck on a number and dont think about all the inbetweens. I think this is a great idea. Do it now then do it when you hit goal.

Sweet I wish you could come do it too! I need help with my glamour eyes! lol..

Brandy!! I say "Just Do It" You deserve it......why wait you are not that far from goal....LOL

After all you have accomplished and how beautiful you are.....I would...

Hey Boo Boo Kitty! I think the pin-up girl photos are an awesome idea! I have a photographer friend who has taken pictures of me before who's been talking about doing some Bettie Page-ish photos this summer. It's so much fun. I'm waiting until I'm at least down 40 pounds before I do it, so I can understand why you're waiting until after your PS stuff.

I thought maybe you would be interested in this photographer, Anne Ruthmann. I'm a fan of her work and I read her blog, ANNE RUTHMANN PHOTOGRAPHY, all the time to see what new engagements/weddings/etc. she's been photographing. She works frequently in Michigan, which I thought would be convenient for you!

Check out these photos she's done..

I love her work. Her prices seem very fair, too.

I can't wait to see them. I need to go back and read this whole thread over again. I can't remember what you decided. I hope you

have them taken soon though because I am very impatient to see them!

This is such a great idea. I can not wait to see them . This would be a great present for my hubby once im at goal ! and for my self.

Cant wait for your pics

You should go for it. Pin up girls weren't size 4 anyway, they were more like size 12's! My hubby has a pin up girl tattoed on his arm, she is curvy and by no means does she look like a 110 lbs. TT or not, go for it!

Whether you are fat or thin, you need to start loving yourself this very second. You need to know that you are beautiful no matter what a number on the scale says. You need to do nice things for yourself like manicures/pedicures, wear cute clothes, make plans with friends, buy something extravagent once in a while, etc. Treasure yourself and it is much easier to lose weight. I say take the glam pictures now and at goal.
