Do you want to post them so we can see it for you? sometimes we just can't see the thin person emerging.

I know I only see the fat Steph when I look in the mirror. I must put on a fat suit before I look. I don't know.

With 30 pounds there is bound to be a difference! When you think of it, that's just a little smaller than my 3 year old. How can it not be noticeable.

Don't fret. The difference must be felt inside as well as seen outside. And even if you don't want to post a picture, try picking up something about 30 pounds and carry it around for 5 minutes. THAT'S a difference you will notice.

Keep up the GREAT WORK! 30+ lbs is a great accomplishment! I'm impressed.

I hadn't thought about it all being in my butt, before. Maybe I should have taken a picture of that! :) I want to cry thinking that 30 lbs is like my 2 year old! Thanks for the encouragement. I wish I could figure how to post the pictures. :smile: Frustrated at that.

I don't know if you'll follow my instructions very well but I will try to help you with posting pics.

First thing you have to make sure of is that they aren't giant pictures like my first attempts were. To check and see open the picture in a picture viewer. Your puter usually automatically does this when you double click on it. The size it opens is the size it will post. If it is too large you need to resize it.

Now, my computer opens pictures in Windows photo gallery. Most of mine are giagantic so I must resize them. To do this, on the right of the tool bar it says open and I open with office picture manager. Once there I choose edit and resize it. I then save it to my desktop so it is easy to find. Name it something easy for you to find.

Now, to attach, you have to do it from the "new reply" not "quick reply". Once you're in the message section you should see the paper clip to attach with. You then browse to the picture you want to attach and do so. As long as you have changed the sizes they will attach quickly. If they are too big, it will not attach it.

I think that should give you all the steps you need. If you are still having trouble, tell me where the instructions broke down and I'll try to lead you from there. It really is a great idea to show the pictures. I'll try to help you through it as well as I can. I'm not an expert, but I'm learning too.

As far as your two year old, imagine carrying her around all day every day and never putting her down. That's how much progress you've made. Awesome job!

The reason you don't see it is because you see yourself everyday and as you lost the weight you didnt notice...I am that way too but EVERYONE has noticed the difference in me!

Another visualization I use is 5LB bags of sugar . . . and I sure couldn't carry 6 of them around . . . so you are going GREAT!
