Before and In Progress Pics?

[pammycakes 1]

I was curious if everyone would like to start this kind of thread here with us Crazy Ates?

I would, but I have to find a before pic. Plus I am going to wait until my 3 month bandiversary, which is in 7 days. I will try to figure out how to do it by then.

Ok I guess I will get the ball rolling and hope many people will join me. I would love to see how my fellow Crazy Ates are doing. My before picture was taken July 1st and my current one was taken halloween night. And Salsa the way I have been posting pictures is by clicking on the Manage Attachments link towards the bottom of the page and then adding photos that I have on my computer.

Wow - I see a big difference in your face!

I took before pics although they didn't come out that great - stupid camera phone but I now have my regular digi camera back. I haven't taken any in-progress pics yet but I plan to in the next day or two and I will share. I hit the 50lbs mark yesterday so I'm hoping to see a big difference.

Candle I bet we will be able to see a huge difference. When you live with yourself day to day it is hard to see it, I know. It wasnt till I compared my pictures side by side that I really could see the difference even though I knew I was wearing smaller sizes.

I made a link to my before and after pictures feel free to look at them.

Wooh - look at the amazing shrinking people! Too cool, guys!

I'll see if I can get a pic sometime this weekend and possibly some preop from my parents' bday party in August. The clinic gave me grief for wearing all black the day they took my before pic (against a dark wood door, no less).

I'm getting all snazzed up for a belly dance event tonight so it might be a fun "in progress" picture. :-)

By the way Pammy, it's not just the weight loss I see in your picture. I can see you're feeling better about yourself. You look SO confident!

[pammycakes 1]

Andree, you are looking and doing great!! Keep up the good work.

Candle: Thank you for the compliment

pizzicato66: Thank you also. The confidence showing is not only from the weight loss but also from the man behind the camera. He has been so supportive from the beginning, loving me no matter what.

Wow, you gals look great. My bf took a picture while we were sitting at dinner the other night with his cell phone, and I couldn't believe it. I know that my clothes are getting really, really baggy, but the fact that I could actually see the difference in the picture was amazing. I promise I will post pictures as soon as I get back from our mini vacation to see my family next week. That will put me just after my three month bandiversary! It will be the first time that they have seen me since my surgery. My brother is brutally honest, (that is what you get from a redneck, macho 21 yo) and I think he will be shocked. He is the one that took care of me right after surgery so he knew what I looked like right before I went in to get my lovely little band.

Great pics ladies -- thanks for sharing.

I need to take mine -- I intended to take them monthly, but have been convinced there's nothing notable to report. I'm coming up on 3 months soon. I'll do them then, I promise.

(Somebody remind me on the 14th!)

[pammycakes 1]

Quite the difference Candle. You look great!! But I think your dog and cat wanted out on the porch with you lol. Keep up the good work.

So I was so inspired that I decided to post my pictures 6 days before my bandiversary. I have to explain the before pics. This was at our outdoor school last year so the reason my tongue is sticking out is because we were singing funny camp songs. This was not even at my highest. I think I gained an additional 10 pounds after these pictures were taken, but you get the picture! The other pics were taken tonight. That is the same blue san francisco shirt in both pics. I had to take another after pic in a better shirt, cause the t-shirt is now way too big and has been demoted to a weekend only shirt!:whoo:
