Today I look at this picture and think I look fat compared to how I look now! I am 23 pounds slimmer now from this photo taken last year.

Your tummy looks awesome, Merry Christmas, I am so happy for you!

You look amazing, and Maddy is right I thought there would be more swelling. Congratulations!

You look awesome!

You look great a real transformation, congratulation on the hard work.

Awesome work, you look great and should be so proud of your accomplishments!

Hmm just noticed what I wrote that should say between 252-255.lol

You look great, congratulations!

Sad, this dress is too big now! But the wonderful shoes still fit, guess it is time to go shopping again!

You look great, congratulations on your success!

this picture was a few months before my surgery, I had already started losing some weight and had dropped from a size 24 the summer before to a size 22. I thought I looked pretty good that summer until I look at my arms, this was before I decided to have surgery. I made my decesion to have surgery in September 2010 after my BP meds were increased and I had a positve sleep study and they told me I needed to wear CPAP due to sleep apnea. No way was I going to do that. No flippin; way.

This was me in May at the Charlotte Motor speedway "Coca Cola 600 race. This was taken in May 2009. One year before surgery. I was at my heaviest here, I weighed in between 152-155 lbs. This is the heaviest I had ever been and this is also when I started having problems with my knees. It took me a year from this picture to finally get the fact that I was going to die young if I didn't do something to better myself.

Feb 14, 2012. 165lbs, 33 lbs from goal.

Me and my sugar butt, Lexi.

Nice tan, and the little diva with the purple scarf is Lexi, she is not overweight. She is 12 years old as of yesterday and loves to travel with mama.
