You know, there is a LBT user that is a photographer and even specializes in the pin-up style work. I'll try and figure out where I saw her post. She had a link to her site and I thought the work was spectacular. Maybe she'll see this thread and respond herself.

I'll be in touch. ;)

I found it much quicker than expected....

And my 2 cents...you look fabulous now! If it's the motivation you need now, go for it! But what an even greater treat it will be for yourself once you reach goal! Cause once you reach goal, you're going to have to go back and get new ones taken! ;)

I think it is an awsome Idea to keep you positive about your body! sometimes I get too stuck on a number and dont think about all the inbetweens. I think this is a great idea. Do it now then do it when you hit goal.

Am I ready for this??

Also, check out this photographer and tell me what you all think! IS he good enough??

Brandy!! I say "Just Do It" You deserve it......why wait you are not that far from goal....LOL

Hey Boo Boo Kitty! I think the pin-up girl photos are an awesome idea! I have a photographer friend who has taken pictures of me before who's been talking about doing some Bettie Page-ish photos this summer. It's so much fun. I'm waiting until I'm at least down 40 pounds before I do it, so I can understand why you're waiting until after your PS stuff. :)

I thought maybe you would be interested in this photographer, Anne Ruthmann. I'm a fan of her work and I read her blog, ANNE RUTHMANN PHOTOGRAPHY, all the time to see what new engagements/weddings/etc. she's been photographing. She works frequently in Michigan, which I thought would be convenient for you!

Check out these photos she's done..

And for the girls who were into the boudoir shots, check out her variation on them: ANNE RUTHMANN PHOTOGRAPHY: boudoir

I love her work. Her prices seem very fair, too. :)

You should go for it. Pin up girls weren't size 4 anyway, they were more like size 12's! My hubby has a pin up girl tattoed on his arm, she is curvy and by no means does she look like a 110 lbs. TT or not, go for it!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
