My Before Photo... - Phentermine.com

KKraver · July 16th, 2008, 01:43 AM

*Deep breath* Okay, this is my before photo. I've got to say, Cashmonkies courage and Bronzybella's encouragement really helped me out on this one, I wasn't going to do this. But, here I am...

Thunder thighs, bat wings, two-nights-of-no-sleep baggy eyes, teen acne I can't get rid of, and the ladies that are bigger then I am. In the words of Chris off of Family Guy, " If I didn't laugh at myself every once and a while I'd be dead right now." Lol.

Welp, I'd better try to get to bed, or i'll be a zombie before long.

Haha, I was just coming on here to do this as well. You and I are in the same boat. I got the teen acne/cystic acne thing going on. And I think if we could rid ourselves of half of our 'girls' we'd be halfway to our goal by now!

Haha, I love how you think you look so bad in this picture. When I see it, I just see a beautiful, sexy lady! Anyway, I'm proud of you for taking this step to post your before pic. If this is before, watch out for after!

Someone that understands! *hug* These things need to pay at least one fifth of the rent every once and while if their going to be one fifth of the weight!.

I'm lovin the happy bunny PJ's, by the way.

Thank you superstar, that really means a lot. I am my worst critic, I can't help but see all the flaws. Like you said though, this will be a memory soon.

(Hopefully like, tomorrow soon.)

Edit: Your sig. makes me laugh every time I see it! ^__^

dbethied · July 16th, 2008, 09:44 AM

like i told you before.....i was exactly where you are only 3 months ago!! i know it seems like forever, but it really goes by fast when you are so focused on losing. if i can do it then TRUST ME, anybody can! you are beautiful now, but you are gettin' ready to be HOOOOOOOT! it's a great idea to take pictures. after losing 20+ pounds i couldn't see it when i looked in the mirror, but when i would look at pictures i could tell a big difference. you're doing great!

insearchofme · July 16th, 2008, 10:38 AM

I think you look great. We are our own worst critics. Can't wait to see your next set of pictures.

libby0920 · July 16th, 2008, 11:46 AM

girl you look great tome! i dont see any thunder theighs.... now I have thunder thighs..i'd take your thighs any day!

litascorner · July 16th, 2008, 11:58 AM

If that's what you look like after no sleep, then i want your secrets. You are just gorgeous!!!!

cashmonkies · July 16th, 2008, 12:44 PM

Glad you posted!!!! And good luck on yoru progress!!!

Jalen&Kaden'sMom · July 16th, 2008, 01:51 PM

You are soooo pretty! Child, you need to take Toccara down and put your picture up there! Lard knows I loves me some Toccara, however YOU can give her a run for her money! If your before pics looks like that just imagine your after pics!!! You'll be trading in your "bat wings" for the Bat Girl black leather outfit. LOL!

thin4good · July 16th, 2008, 04:06 PM

I hope putting up that pic made you realize you don't have anything to fear! Not on this board and not with your weight loss journey! Honestly, you look good, and you'll be so happy you took that pic so you can follow your progress!

scatanafas · July 16th, 2008, 04:42 PM

I think you have a great shape now....when you lose you are going to have great legs, a smaller lower half and bodacious ta tas......

KKraver · July 16th, 2008, 06:33 PM

Wow, you guys...
I mean honestly. Thank you so much.

Good Lord! Now you've done made me tear up...

I mean that from my heart. I can't type what I want to say, because it's so much more than thank you.
I've lived in the smallest hill-billy town in Kansas for as long as I've known. People around here don't give me the time of day. Really, you don't know how much it means to me. I know it's nothing to you, you're just being kind, but I don't even get decency around here.
I best quit babbling, but really, thank you. You never know how a small gesture can make someone's day.

Dbeth- Now I'm all excited! It didn't hit me untill today! It's almost surreal, in three months I won't be like this any more. Weird. I'll take your advice and take those pictures!

Insearchofme- Thanks! I hope your doing well, hun. How's getting back on track going?

Libby- Oh I'm pretty sure i've got thunder thighs, lol. You are lookin fine, girlfriend! 52 pounds is awesome!

Litascorner- You have incredible eyes! No secrets here, just a lot of prayer. Lol.

Cashmonkies- Hell yeah, ya did. You went through all that and still put those pics up? That was awesome. Inspiration maybe? You bet.

Jalen & Kaden's mom- That's what I'm hopin to do! Get rid of these batwings and wear somethin fine for once! Lmao! No more baggy clothes. That'd be a dream come true...

Thin4good- This board is so much kinder than so many others. There's thread's about Weight watchers boards being all snippy and what not. That's what most of them are. I'm glad I found this.

Scatanafas- I'm hoping I can get some lift too! Lol!! Thanks!

Thanks for the millionth time, ladies. It's been one hell of a day, and you guys made me bawl like a little kid again...
