i thought to post a before-after pic of me here in main

(so later will dissapear under tons of posts )

in the left im in the beggining of this journey 10 months before

(July 2005) and right at a recent one.

no so dramatic difference cause im not exercising much..

but i do my best. i hope this photo will give power and encourage

people on lapbandtalk.com..

(my english still and always suxxs :cry :think )

you look amazing!! Look at your shoulders and your neck! Truly breathtaking! Congradulations! Almost 100 pounds!

WOW! What a major difference! You look fantastica!

You have really nice knees too, plus i love the ankles. I'm an ankles kinda girl

There's a big difference in your shoulders, and your belly isn't hanging over your bottoms like it is in the middle picture. Also look at the angle of your arms. In the befores, they're much more like / and in the after much closer to | |. Looks like you've lost your double chin, and there's more distance between your calves now. Great job!

Is your avatar you? Just curious 'cause you blurred out your pics, but if your avatar is you we know what you look like anyway.

thank you, though i dont like the progress i had in the 2nd part of my body i wear USA number 14 on pants (42 European or Large) and i was wearing 22+ but i just cant see it in the photos! my husband says

that i choose always the wrong photos to compare.. well i just want

your opinion cause i just cant see any dramatic difference..

and yes its me in the avatar :nono: unfortunately yes you do know how i do look

Looking good!! I noticed that you lost your extra chin, great job!! YGG!!!

You look so great! Thanks for the inspiration.

Looking good!! I noticed that you lost your extra chin, great job!! YGG!!!

thank you you made me girls feeling soo good!

now i work on my extra .. belly! thats the hard part :nono:

Your arms are hanging straighter (closer) to your sides and the neck and shoulders are getting better.. Great...A better bra would do wonders Hang em higher..IMHO!

i think a plastic surgery would do the trick :nono:

and thats the back side picture

HUGE DIFFERENCE!!! There is no more "back roll" really anymore. You just look fantastic!

Great job! I can see the difference in you. I think that we have a hard time seeing the changes in ourselves because although it is a change it is a slight change and we still aren't happy. You have made a good size change though. Even if you can't see it, I bet your clothes tell you different. The bathing suit for instance, you can see how it fits better. It looks like it is comfortably around your back and not stretched at all. Great job, you are an inspiration to me, who is at the beginning of my journey and struggling.

Mary, you look great! What an inspiration! Thanks for sharing your photos..

Holy Moly Pink! You look incredible! WTG, girl! And your English is wonderful...don't hold back, we understand you just fine! WOW!!!!!

Looking good! I can't see any stretch marks or cellulite! What is your secert?
