Wow- thanks for the compliments. I think that's the first time anyone has said that about my smile.

Well, I only have 8.5 lbs to go to reach the goal weight I set when I weighed 189.5... and I set that goal weight because I really thought it was impossible to get back to. I was in the 125-128 range for years after having my first child.

But technically it should be lower. I'm 5'2 and small frame/boned. I weighed 105 when I got married at age almost 21 and I was nowhere NEAR thin even then! (bubble butt and thick muscular thighs back then- they aren't so muscular anymore... that's for sure LOL)

I'm sure I'd be thrilled to be 120- but I'll probably change my goal to 110 and just see if I can do that. Not sure if I'll ever lose some of the stomach I have from my huge belly pregnancies (had polyhydramnios... way too much fluids- so my belly was huge with my pregnancies, especially the last one) or my saddlebags on my thighs... in other words my body is different now. So I don't know if I'll ever get lower than 120 but that's okay!

(btw- I'm bigger than you!!! Your stats showing below your post... my waist is same, my hips bigger, my thighs a little bigger-- but my chest smaller! *pout* I'm losing so much on top lately- and I've gone from 38D to 34B.... barely. Actually 34A fits me now. So sad... I was always a 34B before I had kids/nursed- so I'm used to not being "well endowed" but now I'm even smaller and um... gravity has had it's way with the girls also LOL)

Bibbidy, WOW!

You look like you went from 40 years old to 20! I SWEAR!!! No offense meant, but in your before picture you look older than your current age. Your after picture makes you look 10 years younger than your current age! You look FANTASTIC! WOW! WOW! WOW!

Your full body pictures make you look like a cheerleader! Those are some great legs you got there!!! And I love your hair cut - you look SOOO happy and full of energy! WOW!

I am super glad you decided to share your pictures! You look AMAZING!!!!!

 

[BibbidyBobbidyBoo]

Thanks TigH! It's really hard for me to show pictures of myself- even the after ones... just the way I am. LOL But I'm working through that shyness stuff. Well I'm not shy in other ways.... you know what I mean. LOL

Your post is a great pick me up.... especially about the age thing- considering my birthday is this Thursday so I'm getting olderrrrrrr..... LOL

Thanks!

jtbdas, you'd have to first upload the picture on a webhosting site- then put the url here to show it. You can't show it straight off your computer. I don't know of any free webhosting sites since all the ones I used before either cost now or no longer allow remote linking (which means showing pictures loaded there on other websites like you would want to do here). I use the webspace given to me from my ISP/cable modem company. You might want to check and see if who ever is giving you the internet service provides you some space to use in this fashion. Most do.

Hi, everyone.....Tiffany 'disneyfan551' says I should come over here and say 'hi', so here I am.

I'm Lisa, I'm 32, mother of one DS almost 11, and involved in a long-term relationship with my very own Prince Charming.

I'm 5'4", and can basically count on one hand the years of my life that I've been even remotely thin. I started WW in August of 2001, and the first picture I'm going to post shows what I looked like on my 30th birthday, which was in Feb. of that same year. (202lbs) My second picture was taken this year in March.(138lbs)

I will say that I kept my journal religiously for about 14 months. I no longer keep my journal, but WW just seems to stay in my head. I rarely can eat any food or drink without thinking to myself how many points it has in it.

I never really had a 'goal weight', but more of a 'goal size' I wanted to be. (size 12) The day that I put on a skirt that I had been hiding in my closet for 10 years, I could only sit on the floor and cry. When my 12's started to get loose, I went shopping with my mother to get a size 10 pair of jeans only the rack with the jeans I wanted didn't have any more size 10's, so my mother says, try on the 8......I say 'you're insane, I can't get in an 8', but she insists, and they actually fit. It took buying several more size 8 outfits before it finally sunk in....I wear a size 8....OMG.

Soooooo, that's my story...in short. If anyone has any questions or just needs support, I'm here. I hear I'm really good at that whole moral support thing. lol

Thank you for the compliment, BibbidyBobbidyBoo!!!

I will say this about myself, no matter what my outside may reflect, I don't think I'll ever have the brain of a thin person. Has anyone else experienced this or am I just crazy? lol

 

[disneyfan551]

southernwingz...so glad to see you here on the WISH board! It was great to read your story! You truly look amazing!! Congrats on your weight loss!!

If by that you mean you won't ever feel thin even when/though you are..... nah, that is not crazy. I think you WILL at some point- but it might take some time. Especially have to consider how long you have been overweight. I think it might be quicker to realize how thin you really are if you haven't been overweight long. But if you've been overweight a long time you may not see yourself as a "thin person" (even after you are) for quite some time. But I think eventually you will come to grips with it.

Atleast this is what I think for myself.

Thank Mskanga for posting these photos for me.

This first was taken in December, 2002 at the DIS-Con-II at WDW.

This photo was taken at Epcot on Tuesday, 09/12/2003 after losing 38-lbs..

 

[geetey]

Wow, Boo!!! I didn't think it would be possible for there to be so much of a difference in your body when you are at goal but the toning you have done is fantastic!!! You look GREAT!!!!

Your first picture is pretty much where I am now.... so it be able to SEE where I can be is SO motivitating! THANKS for sharing your pics!!

 

[BibbidyBobbidyBoo]

Thanks!
And you're very welcome.

Basically, to post a photo here it has to be 'stored' somewhere and you put a link to the photo in your post.

Now, I found that the easiest place to store my pics was actually here in the DIS photo gallery. You have to register to use the photo gallery and then what you do is to upload (transfer) the photos from your PC to your own photo album in the DIS gallery.

Go here for the gallery and click on the 'register' button. Once you're registered you can upload some photos. Space is not unlimited though so don't expect to be able to keep loads of pics there - pick and choose carefully!

Once you've uploaded some, you will see a message that the pictures have to be approved before they can be seen. This only takes a short while (a few hours in my experience). Then, when you want to post in here, right click on the photo, click on properties. Then you will see the 'address' of the photo in the middle (looks something like http:etc etc etc). You need to copy all that and come over here and reply to this thread. Then click on the button marked 'IMG' just underneath all the smilie buttons and paste in the address of the picture.

Hey presto - picture posted!

Phew!
Hope all that makes sense!

Thats how I posted my picture anyway!!

I just realized that I had posted some pics on WISH a few weeks ago - so I might as well post them to this thread as well! If you'd like to know more about me and my journey, you can read my introduction post or my six-month update post, and there's always my WISH journal.

Here's the pictures, before and "during"...

Have a great day!

Hi all!

Here is me a while before I started WW at 23 stone (322lbs) and my 'so far' pic which was taken in Dec 03 when I had lost 4st 5lbs (61lbs). Since then I have lost a further 13lbs

I have more photos HERE if anyone's interested!

 

[Lewski709]

New to the WISH board and posting the worst photo I can find? I need serious help.

I am going to get this weight off again. Lost 60lbs before the birth of my seond son, it is going to go away again...forever.
