Here we go....before & during...

Let's see if I can figure out how to do this....

I'm attaching "Before" pictures now. The facial shots were taken earlier in 2007, and the full body shot(s) were taken on July 4, 2007...the day I got married. I began working out on July 30 and have lost 36 pounds. I want to get down to 165 or 160. I'm 5'9" tall, with what I've found online to be a "small" frame (my fingers overlap when my thumb and forefinger are ringed around my wrist). Some sites say I should be 130 to 150, others say 140-170.

I'll get some "during" pictures ASAP!!
 
you are very cute.. love your glasses and your smile :)

I want to smack you upside the head and say stand up straight in your last picture :) you're beautiful... shoulders back - walk tall :)

you're gonna be dynamite when you get to where you're satisfied with yourself :)
 
Well, that last picture has a story...

The husband and I had a very, very small ceremony. Me and him and a pastor. I figured my family wouldn't show up at all, so we didn't do any families. Well. They crashed the wedding, but missed it by five minutes. That picture was taken as my heels were sinking into the ground at the house...posture isn't normally so bad. :smilielol5:
 
Current pictures

Well, here are the current pics...Taken today (1/11/08), in fact, in a size 12 pair of jeans and the dress I got married in, to compare to the one above....
 
now that's a smile in the first two anyhow :)

you're looking fab-U-Less :)

what a difference in the dress...

Nice curves i the first pic :)
 
Today is the first time I've looked at a picture of myself since the wedding shots. Guess I haven't lost ALL the curves after all....
 
Sooooo... that's what you look like, Mindi Girl! hahaaa You're a looker, Ms. Thang. Sorry, I've been MIA. I was in Hawaii for a month, but look at you... wow... you're already in the 180s??? Fan-freakin'-tastic, doll. Keep it up. You look smashing!

Hey Mindi!

You look good in a pair of 12's!

And you have a very beautiful smile. :)
 
Daaaaaaaaaaamn, I wish I had looked THAT good in a pair of 12s. Course, an extra 5 inches probably would have helped. :D

Congratulations! You look fan-freakin'-tastic!
 
Awwww....thanks, y'all!!! All this support makes me want to go work out again today....you're GREAT for my motivation....
 
You look great!! Way to go!

We're the same height. I just started trying to lose weight seriously and I'm at the weight you started at too. Weeeeeird!
 
Btw,

don't let pictures get you down. Sometimes, one weird angle can really fuck with your head and that is something you don't really need. So, if there is something you find disappointing don't let it bring you down, let it bring you up and make that something to look forward to.

Congrats on the weightloss so far. You're looking really healthier and happier.
 
That's been the biggest plus so far, DarthPooh...I feel SO much better than before!

I can tell. It's really obvious in the pictures.

The truth is I let those little things that annoy me, the little shortcomings of measuring and weighing myself be the motivators that keep me moving for the rest of the week or until the next time I do measurements. Sounds like hype... or bullshit, but either way, it makes me work that much harder.
