The dreaded before picture and measurements

The day y'all all have been dreading!!! Before pictires and taking your measurements. Remember they are before pictures for a reason! I also like to see inches lost vs pounds lost on the scale. 

That being said I will be taking my taking my pictures and measurements on Sunday. The challenge starts Tuesday. 

Tips- on pictures

• don't smile- I wasn't happy with the way I looked so why be happy in the picture? Show that camera your pissed off face!! Grrrrrrr! 

•don't suck in

• side shots on both sides.

• front shot

• back shot

• gut shot not tucked into your pants or undies. 

* I have a gut... And I am amazed at the shrinking in the pooch area. So you all know what I'm talking about... If your pooch hangs over snap a picture of that. You might not want to and it will probably depress you looking back at the pictures but remember.... That's your biggest competitor! YOU! I'm here to help and cheer you on and hope to get a little motivation myself. Just remember everyone starts somewhere. 

• Measurement Tips•

• Measure the following•

• calves

• thighs

• butt 

• hips 

• gut/ pudge 

• natural waist

• arms

• neck 

• shoulders

I was amazed when I noticed 6 inches on each thigh gone.... Holy hell that's a ruler length! 

You might not be in the best of moods when you finish this first step towards the challenge but it's one step forward.

Look at that gut! Don't "tuck" it in your pants during your pictures. I'm totally ashamed of that hot mess but I got there on my own. 

Some of my progress I've never showed anyone. No judgment zone here.... Don't be an ass. Please and Thank you. 

See!!! No happy face!! I use the app PicFrame for all of my collages. 

* this has taken a lot of guts for me to post these pictures. Make fun if you must, do whatever makes you feel better about yourself if needed. But don't be mean or hurtful.  Words hurt just as much as actions. 

Just a southern girl trying to get healthy and lose some weight. I let myself go over the years... And now it's time to help motivate others and motivate myself.
