Sorry, but I have to say this...

I hate to be negative, I really do, but I HAVE to say this: I cannot understand WHY people want to post pictures of thier incisions. They all basically look alike...4 or 5 little holes and an incision about 3-4 inches long. It's not like anyone on the forum sees those pix and goes, "Wow, look at that! I've never seen anything like it! It's so interesting, so intriguing, so amazing!" A fat tummy, a few little puncture holes and a little gash. If I want to see that then I can pull up my own shirt and look. Now, if the incisions were all grouped together and formed an outline of Jesus or something, then that might be different...even the Virgin Mary. Or, if you could gaze into the incisions and fortell the future, or make out the winning lotto numbers, or connect with loved ones that have passed; that would be good...but otherwise; I just don't get it.

Well I haven't seen one yet.... I find it sort of amusing as to why any one would want to but Que sera sera. If it helps them to lose wt by visual motivations who am I to question. to each his or her own. I find them sort of ugly and wish they would go away!

Wow, thank you so much! Now, do keep in mind that I take all of my own photos, so first off, I know just how to photograph me, so that the photo is flattering; the correct angle, my best side, great lighting...etc. Secondly, I took like 50 shots, so that I could get a few decent ones. Third, I have a little bitty face...little bitty hands and little bitty feet...the rest of me; SUPERSIZED!

It's so strange though, and I don't know if it's because I'd grown so used to carrying around all of that weight or what, but I never realized what a difference 30 pounds could make...so at my 8 week weigh in I was down 28lbs...it's probably at least 30 by now. Also, I'm CONVINCED that when you stop drinking carbonated beverages and stop eating all that junk that your body totally "cleanses" itself from those toxins. For as hippie-tree-hugging-new age as it sounds I think you just sort of "shed" your old skin.

And, I guess it doesn't hurt that I'm a deliriously happy on the inside for the first time in my life. Iguess it shows when you're not carrying around all of that sorrow.

Let me tell you girl, when I get all my wieght off, I'm having my picture made butt ass nekkid! I'm not posting them, of course, but I am having them made!

Thanks for the wonderful words.

LOL! You sound just like me...and I know just how to suck my stomach in, and stick out my chin so my double chin doesn't show, and tilt my head just so, and then place my three children in front of me...so that's why I look good in that pic. LOL...I don't care how skinny your face was before...30 pounds makes a difference! LOL...You'd better learn to take a compliment girl because you'll be getting lots of them (fat people aren't used to compliments on our bodies)! You look fab! -BG
