I wasn't going to put any before pics up because I kind of didnt see the point.. But a friend suggested it would give me more encouragement to put some up now and then repost every few weeks or month to see the progress so here goes.....These are of myself and my boyfriend and my son..... My bf and I are doing this together...

It's not very big at all.

Pictures are great motivators! I really wish we had a digital camera so I could track my progress better.

Congrats on the 3.6 pound loss so far. You're that much closer to goal!

Happy New You in the New Year!

Hi Miranda!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful picture with us!

I've been compiling pics recently. (I use to avoid the camera {still do out of habit} when I was at my largest so there aren't very many in existence but I do thankfully have some).

The older ones are hard for me to look at as I am shocked at where I was (I didn't really realize what I looked like) but I am thankful now that I have them to look back on...they are great reminders!

Keep taking pics of your journey, you'll be happy you did!

It's great to meet you, I look forward to getting to know you and reading your posts.

Talk with you soon!

I just told in a before post that is a good idea taking photos, you'll can check the progress each week and other people in the forum will can give you an opinion.

Just say that is a big travel and the first days are the easier, the secret of this and the secret of the success is being constant for a long time. Is good that you an your bf are together in this "travel", each of you will can give support and encouragment to the other one, it's very good.

Good luck.

Your friend is right Miranda. Pics are very motivating indeed! Thanks for posting yours. You'll enjoy putting up more and seeing the progress.

How nice that you are doing this with your boyfriend. It's a huge help to have company along the road!
