OK here goes!!! The shot on the right is a year old almost, taken while I was camping (excuse the face and hair HAHAAH!!!) but I am only about 10lbs less now so look very similar to this :)

I am so glad I decided to stop here tonight! These pictures are sooo inspiring. {I think my restriction is going away.....at least that's the way it felt this weekend. My dr won't do a fill until I get back from my cruise (she didn't want to take the chance of me getting ill, etc while on the waters). So, no fill until June 3.} Anyway, seeing these pix have given me the motivation to stay on track with food and exercise. Everyone is looking wonderful. So much lighter....and I'm not talking "lighter" in terms of weight. There's a whole new lightness to everyone.....! And, Frangi.....that view is amazing! The perfect backdrop for your amazing new look! And, yes, I agree....love the shoes! Have you always lived in the Virgin Islands? I've never known anyone who lived in paradise!!! And RubyJade....wow....you look so much younger! And, if I dare say this---the smile in your "before" pix seems forced. The smile in your "after" pix seems so natural!!
Congrats to all!!

Awwwwwwwww thank you for the kind words, guys :) I didn't realize I look SO different until I saw these pics side by side............. my husband walked in while I was posting them and couldn't believe it was the same girl!! (for the record he married me before surgery so it's not like he never saw me back then, he just hadn't seen me looking that way in a long time) :-)

Yay - a picture of Frangi! You look AMAZING!

Sorry I didn't check it out sooner, but I've been a tad distracted this week. I'll have to get a nice in progress pic of myself in my new nifty neighborhood once I get there NEXT WEEK - can you believe it?! :-)

Wow - I don't know how I missed the last few pics in this thread. Great job everyone.

Frangipani - you look AWESOME!!!


I just posted for the first time in the big "Before & After" thread on the main board. I figured I'd share here too.

Hi Candle,

Wow! What a difference!!! You look fabulous!!!!

I don't know how tall you are, but I'm guessing that you are a shorty like me (5'4''), and I think we petite chicks need to drop down into to 30 BMI range to really starting noticing the difference. The advantage to that is once we start dropping below this, every pound we drop thereafter makes a HUGE difference. I have dropped several pounds since I took my picture, and when I look at that picture now, I can see the difference.

Congratulations on your wonderful progress!!!!

Mid-route group picture

Hi All! As promised, I'll post one of my pictures from the drive out to CA last week. This one was taken somewhere in the middle of the Rockies, on day 2 of our drive from Minnesota. The second one is from 4 Corners Monument.
