Our Family Pictures!!

Just to wet your appetite... here is our family picture from December of 2005. I am, of course, the family Christmas tree as everyone is gathered around me... (can I tell you that I FERVENTLY despised this picture?)


Here we are October 2010. I love the colors of the trees! It was a really gorgeous place.


We had over 100 pictures taken with many different poses. This one was a pose that was a little different for us, but I kind of like it.


And this is my Anne of Green Gables shot (with my Gilbert!)

At one point in between shooting, the hubs gave me a piggy back ride... which was never really attempted before due to my massiveness. That was fun! The photographer snapped this picture.


And a little comparison picture. The one on the left was taken in October of 2008, and the one of the right October of 2010. I remember thinking that by hiding my head behind my hubby that you couldn't tell how fat my face was. (yeah, right!) Funny thing is, I still have a hard time not thinking like that! It will take a while to change the way I think as it's so engrained in me to think like a morbidly obese woman! But I am loving that challenge! Bring it on!!

    These are amazing photos! The contrast is remarkable. Even though you don't like the Before pics, I'll bet now you are glad you have them for the astounding contrast pics.

    I think my favorite is the one of the whole family, casually sitting on the ground together. Made me smile... just so homey and loving-looking.

    I appreciated your last comment on my blog... your "random thoughts" were great! I totally agree... love is not a feeling, but a choice!

    Margene, these were beautiful and fun photos! My favorite was the casual family group shot, posing on the ground. It has so much more personality in it, and the setting was very pretty too.

    That piggyback photo was great! You guys need to each carry one of those in your wallets. The kids (as adults) will be fighting over who gets those. LOL

    Your progress in those photos, all over a mere two year period of time, is simply amazing. I can see why it would take your mind a while to catch up to your bodies, but you'll get there! Love it ... love it, love it, love it!!

    Congrats on your fabulous success!!!

    Keep focused!!!

    Just found your blog--and may I say: great job on getting fit!
    You could have just posted the pictures--they speak for themselves!

    And the face hiding thing--don't I know it! I've been trying to get better about this myself!
