I'm going to do a monthly picture story for myself . . . so I'm posting my before pics today. Join in!

(if this works)

and now I have to learn how to make pictures SMALLER

Hi Christa, I should be getting my band in December too but I don't have an exact date yet. I got my gall bladder out 2 days ago so now they have to schedule my lap band surgery. Nice to meet you. Looking forward to seeing your progress.

I hope the gall bladder heals quickly .. . so you can move on to Band Land too! Sorry the pictures were so big . . . still working on that. Maybe a tech type person can give me some hints lol

Chris

sorry, didn't know it would turn out so large

Glad to see the pics! Now we can put faces with people! I swear I'll find out how to shrink pictures this week!

Chris

Well, I haven't had the nerve to take some of those really scary pictures yet. DH says we will but I might have the camera broken by then.

I did however find a few pics from the last couple of months that someone had managed to snap before I could do my usual, "Oh no, you get in the picture, I'd love to take it." I wish I could say it was just the coat or the sweater, but in honesty they are both rather thin. It's all me.

*sighs* That would be why I'm having this craziness performed on Thursday!

I hope these insert...I'm not sure I know what I'm doing

I guess not. I'll have to do some more looking to try to figure out what I did wrong. Anyone with any brilliant instructions, I would appreciate them.

Twi

when you reply, in the icons above the box you're writing in is a paperclip. Click that and .. . ta da . . . you should be able to browse to your picture! Good luck on Thursday!

Chris

Let's see if it does it this time.

I can't seem to reduce the size though. It's easier to see in the attachment file
