That is awesome. I'm proud of you. I can't wait until Im in the same situation.

Amazing success story! You look great!

I plan on getting a few more. Right now I have a tramp stamp of a frog on my back (my maiden name was Hopper). I plan on getting an infinity symbol because my 2 boys always tell me they love me "infinity", and I will do something for the weight loss.

Congratulations! What an amazing accomplishment, I'm so happy for you! You are an inspiration.

That is amazing! How exciting!

And I am praying I don't have to do the 6 month diet. I'm ready for this now. I've been dieting my whole friggin life and I'd so much rather do this sooner than later. I wish August 3rd would just get here so I know what I have in store.

I've told everyone, lol! My family, friends, neighbors and clients. I am a very open person and they've all seen my struggles with my weight, so for the most part everyone seems very happy for me.

It's wondering how long everyone took off work and if you thought it was enough. I'm a hairstylist & makeup artist, but I work from home and make my own schedule. I'm hoping to take a week off and then start up again, with breaks in between each client. Work an hour, relax an hour. Does this sound do-able? I have known my clients for years and they won't mind if I'm doing their hair in pj's or sweats. So I literally can walk downstairs, so a few clients and be done.

Holy crap! You don't even look like the same person!

Omg that's fantastic! So happy for you!

I've been looking for an update from you! That's great news! So glad all went well!

Thinking of you!!!! It's going to be so great!

On one of my many attempts to lose weight I did visalus shakes and they are so delicious.

You look fantastic! I have to say the best part of the difference is how happy you look!

I wish my husband would do this with me. I'm still trying to convince him to get on board for me to do it. He thinks it's the easy way out and I just need to try harder. Ugh. I'm doing this though.

What an awesome milestone!

I am thinking of you today, my fellow stylist!

Wow! Amazing! Does he have a lot of issues with loose skin? It doesn't look like it at all!

I've only been on this site for a few days and these people already feel like friends I've known forever. They will be so helpful. It's such a tough decision but I can't wait. Good luck to you in your surgery!

Um you are gorgeous! Seriously! I know what you mean about friends though. One of my "best friends" is getting married in September and she didn't ask me to be in the wedding (which is fine, I'm too old and too fat to be a bridesmaid anyway) but my feelings were hurt. Especially when I found out shes having NINE girls stand up and I know I'm closer with her than some of them. I remember a long time ago her saying she wanted a "hot" bridal party. Well I don't fall into that category. Whatever.

I'm reading Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies as well and think its great.
