Before photos

[gail74]

Here's some photos of me at my largest. I'm so ashamed to show these hopefully I will be at my goal before long. I'm so ready for this I have been looking here and I have been inspired by lots of the before and after photos. this is me at 217 and my goal is 150 or so. And this one photo is of me just last summer I have put on over 40 pounds sense then.

I'm so ready to do this. so you all wish me luck that I can stick with it.

Photo 1 face


2 front


3 side view


4 back



photo from last summer this picture of me looks like a different person. I have blowed up like a baloom. in just over the winter months.


oil painting i did of me back last summer dosen't even look like me. it is ureal what weight will do to a person.

Welcome to the board, Gail. I'm sure you will do just fine. So post often and good luck!

I used to do portraits too but I just don't do them anymore, just some sketching now and then. You are really good!

thanks every one for the nice comments. I really appreciate it much. and yes I look so forward to being back like I was last summer. I'm going to try by best to stick with it this time. I'm not going to try I'm going to do... this time.

I have a question what do you all snack on during the day? I went in to town and I was so hungry and couldn't find a thing in the store to snack on. I read lots of labels and looking for this and that. But I finely got some peanuts and pumpkin seed. is that ok to have? I no I can have the pork skins but I hate them. so I got a few peanuts. I need to read the book I no but just haven't had time to get really into it. and too I hate to read is one thing I don't like to do.
