Lonnie found this picture of us taken at Christmas 2004 (almost exactly 1 month before my banding. This was the Christmas that everyone was so worried about me cause I just didn't look good (sick). This is going to be a crappy pic cause I took a pic of a pic with my dig camera.

Here we are this Christmas 2005, 1 year later.

You've dropped more than weight - you look 20 years younger! Great job! :cake:

I agree, you have lost more than weight, you look younger and you now have a "sparkle" in your eyes.

Well Done :cake:
