Hi all,

Just for laugh ... ok?! I had to get a new passport sized photo today for my new driving license. Normally I absolutely hate being photographed, always have - but needed to get this done, so went to the post office and used their photo-booth (does anybody come out looking good?) to get the deed over and done with.

When I got the photos I was kinda surprised - I looked so different! I went home and found a photo taken in November by a professional photographer (it was for the company website - I have sense lost that job, sadly) and put the old and the new together and was even more surprised to see the difference!

Check this out ............. I am most certainly no Kate Moss, but as my neighbour said "You lost 15kg and 10 years"!! I could have kissed him!! hahahahaha But it really goes to show that it happens in real life and not just on the television in "10 years younger" or in Gok's make overs.



Red/Black top photo is from November and by a professional photographer. The other(s) was taken today in a photo-booth.

Funny and just wanted to share my "result"!!

Hi Alice,
that looks great well done on you!
You look different between the photo's!
I need to get apassport as id, Not looking forward to the photo's as i always close my eyes!
You look so different!
 
Just thought you might want another laugh!! Here I am today 23 August - 3 months down the line from diagnoses and some 20kg lighter than my current avitar which was taken in early May just after diagnoses!! Still a little weight to go, but I think I am looking pretty ok these days!! :lol: :lol:





Alice
 
You look fantastic.

Have you tried out your passport yet? They may think you are an impostor!
 
if my second photo wasnt a reason to go on a diet then what is

WOW Dermot!! You look fantastic!!! And cute as a button, too!!! Well done you!

BTW - I was 18 st 8 lb too, but three years ago and long before I got diagnosed. I have lost 5st since early July last year - about half of it since diagnoses in late April this year.

So, Dermot, you are doing much better than me loosing so much weight in such short time - but all power to you!

Alice
 
I'm so jealous
I've kept to my low carbs pretty much all the time and after the initial 18 kg loss, I've been stuck for a year

Alice, that thud you just heard is the sound of jaw hitting the ground!
You look INCREDIBLE!!! I am so proud of you!
I am also very envious. I feel like pasting your first and last pics to my fridge as incentive.
You've done so SO well, and you look beautiful.
You are an inspiration.
 
thanks viv the compliments make it easier to watch the lads at work eating their fish and chips and to pass all the bars of chocolate in the shop

thanks again dermot
