In this picture I made sure not to smile. You know you never smile in the before pic right and then you smile all cheesey big in the after picture. Periodically I will be posting updates of these pics so you can see my transformation.
I started losing weight in 2008 and over the next two years lost 106 pounds. In 2010 my life changed when I got diagnosed with Crohn's Disease. Over the next two years I gained back 100 pounds. I'm taking my life back. Today is the first day of the rest of my life. Today is my fresh start and it can be yours too.

My before pics
These pictures were taken on 11/8/08 before heading to weight watchers and my first meeting with my personal trainer. In these pictures I weighed 297.4. I was 306.2 at my biggest and am happy to say that now I weigh 286. Tomorrow I weigh in. Not sure what to expect. I feel thinner for the first time and the scale at home says I should weigh at least a pound lighter if not more. We'll see first thing tomorrow morning and I'll post how I did later in the day.

Great job on putting up the pics. i always laughed at the pic of the lady weighing in on her back. Boy have I felt like that before. Both great posts. Keep it up.
You should have taken the picture in your sports bra and tight shorts like they do on TBL. :) Just kidding. I wouldn't either. I can't wait to get back to MI farm and take our after pictures. Whoa - wait a minute - I might not be able to do the ACC this year if I go on my missions trip. We'll see.
I'm so glad you took before pictures!
When I get upset about how much weight I still need to lose, I compare pictures from now to pictures when I weighed so much more. It helps me see what my brain won't recognize in the mirror, and motivates me to continue building on my success. The problem is all my pictures from that time are of me hiding behind people & furniture. I really wish I'd made myself take before pics when I started working out!
