GeauxForIt 659 Posted January 6, 2013 I'm guilty of seeing how far I still have to go instead of how far I've come. I've got to work on that bc I'm doing well!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chitowngirl 886 Posted January 6, 2013 I agree. I love seeing pictures. What really bugs me is when people post updates, such as finally lost -100 lbs, or finally hit onderland, finally made it to goal, or 1 or 2 year surgiversery and they don't attach pictures. WTF man nothing speaks more than a photo. There are a lot of people who don't post their profile pictures, I guess a lot of that is a wish to remain anonymous. Well all I can say is I personally don't respond to progress updates on weigh, if there aren't any pictures attached. It may be mean or whatever, but in all honesty I am a visual person and I just really love reading a story with an updated pic at the end of it. Ps everyone looks awesome!!! Keep up the good work my fellow sleevers. With all that said here are my before and after as I am now a camera wh0re!!! 5 iegal, Sadlers1999, Lisa'slosinit and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrs sandy r 152 Posted January 6, 2013 How tall are u ? I'm 5.1 n I see myself n pics n see FAT :/ idk if its only me :/ I'm 5'2, don't be so hard on yourself . I felt that way the first month , things will get better , be confident , I wanted quicker results, but I'm learning to accept 1-2 lbs a week , when others are losing more. Fact is, before the surgery , I wasn't losing any lbs per week & stuck being fat. At least now it's slowly coming off. It will happen for you , good luck . 1 Danilax reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tamjo37 37 Posted January 7, 2013 My husband and I had our surgery 2 weeks apart. He started at 454 and is down to 341 and I started at 345 down to 275. His surgery date was Aug 27 and mine was Sept 10. Best decision ever. The top pic was 3 weeks after his and a week after mine. Bottom pic was this weekend! 4 DanaInNewOrleans, TakeCareGirl, Sadlers1999 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
