Good luck with your program ...

As for the pictures, even though it may feel silly to get it done now ... TRUST ME, you'll want them when you get to your goal.
Worst case, take a pic of yourself in a mirror, wearing a bathing suit or something along those lines ...

Congratulations on passing your classes.

Perfect suggestion Dan ..

w/p, that's exactly what I did a year ago; got some brutal pics of me in my underwear no less .. .. And save some "fat" clothes too. I mean, I already know yer gonna do fine over the summer and lose lots o' lbs, but next winter, when the dull grey doldrums set in (hey, you're still gonna be with us then, right??? There's a few of us who support each other through the S.A.D. effects of winter) .. Anyway ... when you reach a really frustratin point, like a stall or plateau, all you need to do is look at those fat pics, or try on those fat clothes, and you'll see how far you've come ... and the desire to keep going will be reinforced. You can do this sweetie...

Nice going on the exams! You'll do terrific, I just know it.

Do as I say, not as I do

You got me! Every single day I plan on posting after I clear my email tray, just 32 left after I deleted a lot of junk.

Wussypuff,
I most definitely agree that you should take pics. They may want to make you cry when you see them but it is very motivating! I had my bf take mine and I was in my bathing suit. I saw them and was shocked at the "side chunk" as I affectionately call it! They got me motivated and I felt GREAT when I saw the after pics because the pics really track your progress!!

Congrats on passing the exams---- I remember fondly (ok, not so fondly) finals week!! ugh!! Lots of all-nighters and lots of cappochino!!!

thanks all i'll start my journal tomorrow...as for the pictures...yea, i'll do those tomorrow too *like you've been saying, you just have to take them, not like them* anyway, i'll begin my journal in the bootcamp and i can get through this!!!! and yes, i'll be here during the winter *gotta love those "mild" wisconsin winters...bleh* 'night all
