You guys are so kind. Thank you for all the nice comments. I know weight loss can't solve all your problems, but my weight loss and new found fitness have changed my life. I was weighed down as much mentally by obesity as I was physically. The physical changes are obvious, but the mental changes are just as dramatic.

WOW! You all look great. This is so encouraging. I am scheduled for surgery on March 24, 2008. I found out a few days ago that I was approved and got my real surgery date yesterday. My stomach is in knots and my knees are shaking; but this thread reminds me of just one of the reasons I need to have this done. Thank you all so much for sharing your before and during pictures.

Salsa, you look like a totally different person! I bet if old friends saw you on the street, they would not recognize you. Wow, I am totally impressed by your weight loss. Good job!! Quote:

7. Even if no one sees you eat it, the calories still exist.
6. Size 10 is not just for someone else.
5. A double chin is not necessary for survival.
4. I wasn't big boned...just fat.
3. The scale only gives you a number, and I am MUCH more than a number.
2. To chew or not to chew...depends on how much foam you want to spit up.
And the number 1 thing that I have learned in the last 6 months...
1. To love who I have become, and to forgive myself for the past.
Oh yeah...AND I'M HOT!

I'm glad I did this. I hope it works!  |

Andree, you are not a slow loser. 60+ pounds since August is fantastic. There are a some of us who have been very fast losers, largely because we do alot of exercise. I know I'm lucky to have a fast metabolism, good restriction from almost the beginning, and the time for and interest in exercising. Keep doing what you're doing and you'll be at goal before this year is over!
