135 pounds, March 2009

Wow. You look great. Awesome job!

You look absolutely stunning! I dont see any surgical scars...did you lose all your belly tissue from hard work? Its amazing!!!

My scars are VERY VERY faint... not noticeable to the naked eye. All of my belly fat is 'under' the bikini... so it is not noticeable unless my panties are off. With a tummy tuck, my stomach would be much flatter, but I'm not going to complain, and the scar from a tummy tuck is much worse than what I've got going on under my bikini!! Thanks SO much for the compliments. I hate bathing suit shopping and had NO PLANS on getting a suit like THIS. But it worked...

Can I be you when I grow up? You look amazing!

I must say you look awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you look beautiful, & girl i dont see NO belly fat, i hope to look like you do one day, id be so happy, well done..

You look good!! I never thought a two piece would be an option but you give me hope!!

Wow...that is awesome, I can only hope my belly scars could be so faint....did you use anything to lighten them?

You are an inspiration to all of us! Thank you!

I did not do anything to lighten my scars. Time fades them very well.

Wow! that can't even be the same person! Congrats! You look great!

You should be very proud of yourself. You look great! Congrats!

HOLY CRAP! You look freaking amazing! How in the world is your stomach so flat with no surgery??? WOW!

With the swimsuit not being low-cut, you can't see the 'overhang' I have underneath. A good pair of underwear or higher cut swimsuit covers it up...

u look soooooooooooooooooo PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!! can i borrow ur 8 pounds to get me closer to goal....lol....congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done! There is hope for me yet-your pics just made me want to keep to the band rules! You look fab. x x

ok it is official, you are my hero! lol everytime I think I am not going to be able to do this, I will think of you! You go girl!

You are truly an inspiration to all of us! I am to be banded on May 28th. Soo excited to finally have some control. You did a GREAT job making the lapband work for you! Way to go!!

If you don't mind me asking, what were your stats before surgery? You look great. I hope you are as proud of yourself as all of us are for you. Anyone that worked as hard as you have really does deserve to look amazing. I plan on working hard....LOL Jennifer

Yeah...I ditto everyone else! You body is amazing and your stomach has no signs of someone who used to be bigger! Your hard work keeps us going!
