Hey yall. Ok so I just took pictures of myself, wit my digitalcamera, in my underwear(no not sexually) but to see what i really look like. i was so distraught!!! i mean, its really an eyeopener. i am totally motivated now. not only do i have a weight goal, i have lil goals like i dont want my stomach to go out past my boobs anymore and i def dont want my lovehandles. so ill do excercises to get rid of those. i made a deal with myself that for every 8-10 lbs i lose, i will take another set of photos-that way i can see how much ive improved. by the end, itll be like having my own set of before and after pictures and i will be SO proud. yall should try this, its so motivational. ok well ima ride for tonite. i got church in tha mornin lol bye and good luck 2 yall

I was going to do that too and then our card got stuck in our digital camera, grr. well I wanted to do it so whenever I have the temptation to eat junk food or stop excersising I will just look at the picture and then I will know I have to continue what I am doing. Good luck everyone, Shannon.

Ya that's a really good idea. Anybody who wants to lose weight and might need some motivation should try this it really helps and sometimes mirrors can be sort of deceiving... well I think it's better to take a picture because then you'll have a better idea of how you really look and how others see you. It's good motivation and a good way to keep track of your progress. GOOD LUCK HILLARY!!!! :D
