Some of us are ready to post pictures, others are not. Either way that is fine! DON'T feel pressured! Even if you aren't ready for weight loss pictures, how about a head shot, so we can put a face to the posts! Remember we are all friends here.

Way to go Missy! And could your daughter be an cuter?!? Your husband looks great, too! Thanks for sharing!!!!!!

I am so proud of you. Your daughter is cute was a speckled puppy

Thanks! She is cute and knows it. Just mention camera and she is already posing! DH does look great, I wish he wasn't having so much trouble though.

Wow Missy!! yOU guys look great!! I WISH my loss would SHOW in my face at least. Lol. I don't see it anywhere, probably cause I've bounced between 330 and 380 for the past 5 years and I just know what I look like at those weights! Lol.

I WILL post a pic of me though, so ya'll can see how beautiful I am. (That was sarcastic - seriously)

I don't have any good shots of me just before surgery (other than the horrid ones I took for the 'before/after' thing. I don't want to post that now...) So here is a shot from Las Vegas May 2006...with a Showgirl... I"m on the right, in case you couldn't tell...

Come on everyone else, just show us a headshot for now...

Suzzie - THANKS for posting. I hope everyone else joins in! You have a great picture to compare to when we all go to Vegas. I would never have guessed you at the weight you state - height is a good thing! I wouldn't know - I am 5' 1". I really don't see much difference between my pictures. I have lost the equivalent of my daughter though, so there has to be some difference!

On an off note, my son was a little upset that I hadn't posted a picture of him. He asked if you all even knew I had a son. I explained that we really only talk about weight loss here and that Mina just happened to be in both pictures. He still seemed upset, so I hope you will indulge my kid's picture.

Well dang it...I can't seem to resize my pics...but you can see me on the avatar

I'm not sure I see a lot of difference. I DO know that I ordered new bras afer seeing the pics from thr trip we took to Traverse City a couple weeks ago. I look like I've got long ones in the three month pic. The before pic is the one I mentioned in another thread that I have posted on my fridge. It's from October and I'm guessing I was about 365-370 in it. I'm about 305 in the lighthouse pic.

I haven't taken any recent pictures. This one is of me last year in June with my co-workers...I'd lost down to 250 pounds, but quickly gained back up to 283 by preop.

Everyone looks great! Missy, your children are both gorgeous.

I enjoy it when pictures are put on here...seeing what each of you have accomplished is inspiration to me. My husband reminds me that even though I may not see any difference when I look in the mirror doesn't mean it isn't there and that others will always see things that my eyes do not. We are always harder on ourselves than we need to be. I want to thank each of you for the pictures and the belief that I can do this too!!

FaithMD - definitely a difference all over - WAY TO GO!

BeckieT - thanks for posting, it is nice to have a face to go with the posts! (thanks about the kids)

Dev - we definitely are harder on ourselves and we see our self in the mirror everyday, so it is hard to see a difference. Put your pictures side by side and have an open mind! We would love to see if you are willing to share.

MM - if you upload to photobucket you can resize your pics. You look great in your avatar!

Lets see if this works...It's me at our church picnic Aug 6

Hubba hubba MM!

Awwww, thanks Faith :mad: You're quite "hubba hubba" too! It's so funny how we make pictures of people in our heads, then see their acutal pic and it's so different! I can REALLY see your weight loss too! Keep up the good work pretty lady :eek:

Beckiet, Suzzzzie, MJ...thanks for posting your pics...you are all beautiful ladies! I sure hope we all get to meet one day!

You all look amazing!! I'm gonna try to get my hubby to help me put a b4 and now pic on here for me!!
