Shocked by weigh in picture

Posted on July 14, 2015

I am new to dietbet, just signed up for a transformer and submitted the first weigh in picture. I don't have a full length mirror at home so I never saw myself like that before. Let's just say it's not pretty. On the contrary: a brutal reality check. Somehow I kept on telling myself that just because my BMI is over 30 and that means I am ofically obese - I don't necessarily look fat. how delusional I was...

But there is no point in whining about it. In the meantime i found a crosstrainer on (the swiss version of) craigslist for 30 dollars (!!!, i must have been really lucky, they usually go for about 10x that). While watching TV yesterday night i did so on my new machine - no more excuses :D

How did your first weigh in picture make you feel?

Hey. I don't have a full mirror either. I always take a double take when I see myself in stores or at the gym. I feel so much smaller...*LOL...Maybe because for someone my size I am still much more active than most people think of "FAT" people. I started off at 350 pounds three years ago. Sadly...when I started this challenge I started at 328 pounds...that is how much weight I lost in three years. Butttttttt....I now weigh 315 and with my determination and the extra help with DietBet...because ohhh I hate to lose money!! I will get rid of my fat...*smileAnd so can you..I am morbidly obese and I am about to change that....and if I can do this...ohh so can YOU. We can all do this together *smileGOOD LUCK...let's get this done

I can totally relate, but you're making awesome progress just by trying! My first weigh in picture for DietBet came after taking progress pictures for 60+ days, so it wasn't as surprising... but my before picture really made me go OH... It's a journey though, you'll get there!
