This has nothing to do with anything, (love the pic, can’t wait for the book), but “I want my close-up, Mr. DeMille”? I just watched that movie last night! What a weird coincidence.

Great picture. Glad you shared that one on your blog–have you considered a photo for the front cover, or is that too narcicistic? (spelled wrong, I know)… OR will the cover be the HALF portion of you. and the back cover the NEW half portion of yoU!

What about a split-screen author photo on the back, then and now? Will there be photos in the book.

I am really looking forward to reading it, as a person who has had weight issues my whole life!

That is a GREAT shot of you in one pants-leg! You look so pretty and happy and confident. I agree with v’ron about using a headshot too, because you are an author. Can’t wait to read your book!

This is only my first time being to this website but I have to say that your accomplishments are incredible. Having lost that much weight and still having the desire to keep going. You are absolute on the right track and fitness professionals like I am love seeing and hearing these success stories. Keep it up.

Adorable. But why didn't you just consult our video about how to look lovely in photographs? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRkd6-wZLlA

Yes, the picture looks great, and I’ll chime in on being both a photographer and being photographed. For one thing, I don’t think your photog had to work too hard. Through this blog you’ve already gotten used to photographing yourself, and that’s evident in the picture in this post — it was just a formal setting, that’s all. The photog did a great job of capturing the natural glow you have in your other pictures.

I agree with using just a headshot, especially on the jacket cover. Maybe the one pants leg on the back, but headshots are for AUTHORS, and you are an AUTHOR.

I think that photo is a marvelous choice.

Yea, Pasta Queen! I can’t wait to read your book! I like this photo, and I especially like the off-center angle. It’s both elevated and off-centered, making it feel more “artsy”.

PS- Love, love, love the tennis shoes. Too cute!
