|  New before/after pics...
Well, I decided to do a recent before/after pic here; my friends have fussed at me long enough. I am still only with just right at 140 pounds loss and have been living on a plateau for what seems like forever (3 months) with me gaining and losing the same 5 pounds forever now, but my friend encouraged me saying pull out pictures and see how far you have come, and yes, I am thankful for that but I don't like getting "stuck" and not losing!! I am very discouraged and needed to see me as I was then and now. Hopefully I can get to losing again soon, wish me luck. Thanks for looking. |

| I think your name should now be Ethel! Not big ethel - you've lost the right for that title! You look marvolous!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations on your journey, stop a take a breathe you deserve to have a moment of glory for yourself. The platuea will end on it's own sweet time.
Be happy and healthy!
Love, Debby

| You are beautiful! What a difference! You have done an amazing job with your band. I sometimes think our body has to rest to keep up with all we lost. It has been very slow for me the last few months, but I can see a big difference in the inches lost even though the scale goes very slow. Have you checked to see if your measurements have changed during this time? Good luck!
