Putting a face to a name

[yankeeblue08 0]

Well' date=' like most "overweight" people, I *hate* pictures of me. This picture is of me and my loving hubby, on his birthday. This is about a year before my lap-band surgery, not my heaviest but very close. I hate the double chin! Hubby says my face looks even better right now, after 24 pounds of weight loss. I can't wait to lose more!

Thanks sis! (ack, I'm still shy about it, LOL.) I go for my first fill tomorrow (March 26th), I'm nervous but also excited. Time to make this lap-band work!

Did you go to your seminar yet? Let me know how it went!

*hugs*

Ooh, so many beautiful people! I love this thread! It's a good thing I don't know how to post pictures or I'd be posting one right now!

Such great pics!

My first challenge will be to find a picture - I was/am very talented in the 'avoid the camera' lifeskill.

My second challenge will be to post it; previous experiences in posting pics had them so large you could count the freckles!

I shall try.

You need to learn how too.

Awww' date=' thanks Queen of Hearts! Your picture is gorgeous too! Actually, I think all of us here are some fabulous looking people! I love the sharing of pictures.

Yeah, you're right Queen of Hearts! I'm hoping one day I'll actually like a picture of me, and not hide when the cameras come out - both of my hubby's sisters are photographers, not professional, but they've taken classes and ALWAYS have a fancy camera with them. Makes me shiver! :tt1: lol. One day, hopefully, I won't though. We'll all get there! This is just the beginning!

:thumbup:I hear ya Rhapsody!! We will get there! We will not be intimidated by those lenses we've tried to avoid!:tt2: My kids are always trying to get pictures (like the one I have posted) and I am usually trying to hide behind someone or something so as not to expose my WHOLE self:rolleyes2:! LOL!! But before you know it, you will be happy to pose for your husbands sisters!!

Someone mentioned it earlier in this post, February bandsters are beautiful people. Everyone looks great. I'll see if I can dig up a picture. Like most of you have said, I too try to avoid having my picture taken.

That is so sweet, thanks for that! :biggrin2: It takes alot of guts to get the courage to do that, so you made my day.

:rolleyes2:You're very welcome and I'm glad to be able to help put another smile on your beautiful face! I am so impressed with your weight loss and you should be proud! I had my surgery before you and as of yesterday I've only gone down 31 pounds! Got another fill yesterday because I told my doc I'm cheating and he just laughed and said he'd put a little more in me so he gave me .6cc then shook my hand and said I was doing great! So both of us had a kudo for the day!:tt1: Thank you for your kind words and keep up the good work!:biggrin2:

We are pretty much not too far off. I've lost 32 pounds post surgery. The majority of the weight I've lost was pre-surgery. I guess that's not so bad either, but I just wanted you to know I think you're doing great yourself. :biggrin:

Believe me, I'm not perfect. I do the best I can, but sometimes those little snackies call me! Especially those little weekend snackies and they are the ones that have noooo trouble going right down!! :cry_smile: And of course, it's the weekend...

Stay sweet!
