Sorry this post is so late in the day, but I’ve been running around all day long. I guess it makes up for my rather lazy day yesterday. Moderation, right? This week is bound to be L-O-N-G for the simple fact that it’s the week before February Break. I don’t have any plans over the break, except to go into Bella’s Boot Camp mode and try some new workouts since I’ll have the time. And I have a few other things up my sleeve, but I’ll wait to see how they all pan out before I write about them. (How’s that for a teaser?).
Now it’s time for Friend Makin’ Monday (FMM).
If you’ve taken part in FMM then you know the rules. If you’re new, please take a moment to answer this week’s question on your own blog then add your link in the comments section at: www.alltheweigh.com so we can all see your FMM questions and answers. Please invite your blog readers to add their links here too so everyone has to opportunity to be seen. The idea is to connect with other awesome bloggers so take a moment to post your own FMM post and comment on a couple of other posts. Now it’s time for this week’s topic!
FMM: Before Photos
- Are you on a weight-loss journey? Have you lost weight in the past? Are you trying to lose it now? Yes, yes, and yes. I’ve lost weight many, many times, but haven’t successfully kept it off. Right now my main focus is to get to the weight loss goal set by my surgeon, so I have about 25ish pounds to lose to make that mini goal.
- Do you like being in pictures, or do you shy away from the camera? I don’t shy away from the camera, but just about everyone I know know that I really prefer headshots. Either that or I tend to hide in the back, which is difficult, since I’m usually the shortest one in the bunch. I can’t wait until it doesn’t matter what angle the photos are being taken from.
- Does looking at old photos of yourself motivate you? Yes! Even though my “during” photo is from December of this year, there was another one that was taken of me on Christmas that is mortifying, yet motivating.
- Weight-loss bloggers, do you post progress pictures on your blog? I haven’t as of yet, because I didn’t think there was really an significant progress to show. But once there is, absolutely!
- Will you share a before photo with us (even if you don’t have an after yet?) I’m not sure if it’s the angle that these photos were taken from or what, but I do notice a difference from 2010 to 2011. I didn’t think 17 pounds would show up that much, but I guess it does. See what you think… (click on the photo to see it full size)
Now it’s your turn to answer the questions! And also be sure to go back to Kenlie’s blog and leave a link to your FMM post in the comments! I really encourage you to comment on as many people’s posts as you can – I’ve met some fantastic people through FMM. You never know who you’ll meet today.
I can see a difference in your face for sure! I know the yo-yo feeling, I gained and lost the same 60+ pounds at least 4 different times.
I see it most in your face and can definitely see the difference. I remember the picture that you disliked so much and think that’s a neat way to keep yourself motivated. I’m also impressed that you remembered I’d posted a pic from the bach party — I’m going to have to go back and look, but I’m almost certain I wasn’t in it. But I know there was one group one I was in, so maybe that’s what I posted, but I didn’t remember posting the one with me. Impressive memory friend!
I can tell the difference in your face for sure! Keep up the good work!
Only 17 pounds? Are you sure? I can totally tell the difference. Pretty amazing actually
