You look Awesome! I always worry about the weight loss making me look older, but you look younger after your loss. Thanks for the inspiration.

You look fantastic! Keep up the great work, and I also agree you look years younger. Don't you feel incredible?

Wow! Amazing!

Wow so stinking awesome. You look so different and so much younger!

YOu look absolutely fabulous ! ! !

Thank you all for the encouragement. It does feel like a whole new me, I am very active and running on a regular basis now. I feel so much younger as well. It's sad to look at my first photo--I just look so worn out and tired. Although I hate seeing that before photo of me, It is important to remember why I started this journey and I never plan to go back to being fat and tired again. When I was puting the photos together for this shot, I was shocked at the amount of change. Seeing myself everyday in the mirror I still see flaws I don't like and don't remember how far I have come. The other day at work a guy I met just a few months ago introduced himself to me like he had never met me--we had met and had a lunch together with friends then, so for a minute I was thinking how can he not remember me... Then I remembered how different I was the last time we met. That made my day!

Oct. 11th will be four months for me.....and as of this morning I'm down 70.5 lbs!!!! I love my sleeve!! You've done great Swiftflow.....doesn't it feel wonderful??

I'm just 7.5 lbs from my surgeons goal weight, but I'd like to lose an additions 5 - 7 lbs so I'll have that cushion. I'm not sure why, I'm never hungry, but it would

just be nice to have it. I need to talk to Tiffikins and find out how to "maintain"!!! Any ideas out there??!!!

Have a great weekend!!!

Hey my sleeve buddy!

The only thing wrong with that picture is that you have on a DALLAS COWBOYS SHIRT! YUCK!

I'll be in Dallas for the Saints game on Thanksgiving Day....GEAUX SAINTS! hehehe
