If you would like, I could give you a cute outfit and a new do! Check out the Studio thread about leopard ladies. It doesn't have to be extreme, we don't have to make you look like Madonna, we could just do a little tweaking. I already have a great leopard coat picked out for ya!

Aw heck, why not? I've read that thread. Perhaps part of me wanted to be "leopardized" all along.

If you could shave off 120 pounds that would be cool, too.

I just e-mailed new pics to Unca - at almost 30 pounds gone. I wanted to wait until 30, ,but I'm at 28.3 - and I did have my hair cut today and the lady styled it for me, so I figured I'd better have some photo evidence that my hair is occasionally blown dry instead of scrunch-and-go. Not sure if I was supposed to start a new thread, but I'm trusting Unca to take care of all that and/or holler at me if I need to do something different.

UPDATE: I guess these count as 30# gone pictures - this morning I weighted 234. Of course it doesn't really count in my world unless it comes up again tomorrow, but....

NICKI,
I don't know how I missed your first pictures without thanking you for posting them.
And NOW I must wait to see your 30# pictures...

Waiting....waiting....waiting............................................................!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, I resent them to Unca this morning. I don't know if they're just too large files or if I have the wrong address....

As a reference point when they do show up - I'm wearing the same jeans as in the first pictures, and I think you can see a difference in the fit. At least I hope you can after 30 pounds! But other than that, not much seems different to me except my face.

Anyway, they are official 30# gone pictures, not 28.3, as the next morning after I took them I weighed in at 234. Whoo hoo me!

WOOOO HOOOO !! YAY, Nickie !! There is definitely a difference. A difference in your face, yes. A difference in how your jeans fit, for sure !

But, something else that I think is really cool is that you took these photos, both times, in the doorway. Look at how much further you are from the frames ! There is more space all around you (more space for YOU to fill

).

Oh, and I LOVE the hair ! Definitely a good move

.

Cheers, Nickie. I am so happy you are doing this !!

You look great Nickie but I got a sneak preview that everyone else didn't so I already knew how beautiful your face was. I will work on your movie star picture later.

Its more difficult for us to see the differences in ourselves than in others, but Nickie, you have definitely lost! There is a difference in so many areas and you are doing great! Keep up the great work and next time you take pictures you'll notice an even bigger difference.

Congrats!

Big difference, Nickie. Especially in your chin and face. Like the hair cut. It suits you.

My wait is over at last NICKI! And, Oh, it was so worth it!
Honey girl, you are beautiful---just shining from the inside out!
Just imagine the changes as you progress along, and finally reach goal!
Your avatar? Wow! Lovely!

You're doing great, Nickie, keep it up!
Love the new avatar, there's a smile that wasn't on the old one
