Wanna be part of my idea?

I am starting a book of "before and after" pics on weight loss. It stands to reason that I cannot take the before pics of some of you but I can certainly take the after pics. I love photography and am in the process of developing several different types of books full of my photography. I thought it would be cool to do one on weight loss.

If interested in this project then email me at penni60@aol.com for more info.

Penni,

I wouldnt mind submitting my photos for this project. I think this would be a great book idea! Especially for ALL weightloss surgeons (and even other physicians) to have in their waiting room for patients to glances.

Great thinking Penni!

If you are interested in submitting photos then send a before and after pic to my email address at penni60@aol.com and along with the photos please give me a short bio of what made you decide to lose weight and what you have learned from the process along the way. Keep is as short as possible.

I need the info ASAP.

Hey Penni, that sounds great! I'll see what I can come up with?

I am taking my picture every month on the 19th to see the progress.

I lost some of them when my computer crashed. But I'll see what I can find.

Sounds coolio! I'll see what i can find. Not too many pix of me, but we all ready know all about that...

Can you shoot a book of Delalra- exercise gadgets (or her or me attempoting to use them) we all need a great laugh! Maybe a another fun book would b e on some nice old lady's hair styles through out her 90 years of life and what it really took to do that (or better yet Delala's hair! I always love your hair shots)

Actually I think I would love that Penni- I just would really have to find some before photos- I hid a whole lot- as is common for most people) because only the camera and outside world saw m e as heavy- not my eyes! However today my eyes just see wrinkled prune (skinny- but wrinkled)

I would love to join but since I am only 2 months into you can't tell a huge difference in me. If you wanting all stages I will be more then happy send the info your way.

I would love to see the book when your done....wouldn't that be motivating for so many people.

If I am going to get started on this project then I need some volunteers to share their stories. If I don't get much more of a response in the next week or two then I will drop this project altogether.

All stages of progress are welcome. All I really need are before pics and a brief history of your decision to do the surgery.

Once I compile all the data then I will ask for a second pic of where you are at now and another short story of what you have learned so far.

This will not be a "fast" project it will be at least a year in the making. So if you are interested then let me know ASAP.

I am looking for at least 30 to 50 candidates.

I'll do it. I am still waiting on the Red-tape to clear - but I will get a photo taken - or find one and write up my reasons for doing the surgery.

:]

Please send all info to my email address. Penni60@aol.com

OK since I haven't gotten as much interest as I had hoped I will drop this idea.

oh Penni! I am so sorry for not responding to this sooner.

I still think that this is an awesome idea. Did you get ANY pics?

If you are still considering this, I will send my pics to you...

I will accept whatever people want to send me and if I ever get enough I will do the book. I won't abandon it completely since I think it is a GREAT idea and such a motivational tool for others out there.

When I get enough people to participate then I will submit for publishing.

WELCOME BACK PAULA

Penni, I'll get some stuff to you soon as well. The timing was bad for me to get it to you in a 'timely manner' for your original request
