So Beautiful

You look great!

The change in your body is amazing...CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I know it took a lot of determination and hard work. I have to say tho, what really impressed me as I looked at your pictures is that as you appear to have lost the weight you seem to have gained the confidence....from refusing to look at the camera to posing!!! I think that is awesome!!! You have every reason to be proud. I can't wait to join you! I get my band on the 24th!

Now get out there and strut your stuff!!

WTG Little Chicklet :uwelcome: You look wonderful !!

Kelly,

even more beautiful cuz your smilin! I would be too, thanks for sharing!:clap2:

Thanks everyone....Traceylou...I can only speak for myself, I really dont think I will ever get past the "fat" mentality. I still have a fair bit to lose to not be considered overweight. I am still obese according to BMI.

Its a hard question to answer but I really dont think I will think of myself as anything other than fat, or someone that needs to lose weight. I have lived with it all my life so if it is going to change I think it will take a long time.

Hugs and good luck with your surgery.

Your pictures are proof that if you follow the program, success WILL follow. Congratulations!

You look awesome!!!!!!

Sorry to get off topic here but you don't even need to upload the pictures to a web album or any thing, LBT does that for you. All you need to do is:

Click on the paper clip icon when you reply or start a thread (it's next to the smiley face) A new window will open, and then find the photos on your computer and click upload. Then close that window, and just click on the paper clip icon again. The photo you uploaded will be there and you can just insert it.
