Almost 9 months out ...

[MINI-Me 196]

Haven't been able (read brave enough) to do this until now ... but thought I would post before and after pictures. Not sure I am at optimal weight yet, but getting close.

your looking great keep it up!!... im in that 3rd week post op and i am at a slight stall ugh! so its nice to see how others have done great work!!!!

[MINI-Me 196]

Thanks! Stalls are the worst. I know it's not easy hearing "everybody goes through it" ... but it really does pass. Just keep doing the same things you were doing before the stall. Also - check those body measurements. Those changes help get you through those blasted stalls!

Minime...

you are looking good!!! What a transformation... I bet you feel a million dollars now...

Can I ask a question; in your 'slim' picture you hair looks lovely; thick and glossy... was it like this all the way through? Mine has started to go thin!!

Anyway, congratulations on your weight loss... and being below target!!!

I have always had thick hair. My friends with thinner hair love it, but that's because it doesn't take them an hour to dry and straighten it!

I have lost quite a bit, but thankfully no balding spots yet. It seems to be slowing down now (started around 4 months).

Thanks everyone!

You look gorgeous! Way to go.

You look great! What a difference.

Sleeve or bust: I tend to lose weight closer to my two week marks...does that make sense? Tomorrow is a weigh in day. I do them biweekly and I swear the first week after my weigh in I see nothing then around day 10-11 I start seeing pounds drop...it is strange but consistent in it's on retarded way.

Yeah you look really terrific. You look very small now. How cool. I have noticed that my lower body has less fat than upper body but I am not at goal. My fat above waist has changed but I would like to see more fat off above waist. Wondering if you noticed any of that.

[MINI-Me 196]

I've always been a bit of a pear shape ... so my stubborn fat is in the hips and lower abdomen. I keep telling myself that after babies and being in my 40's I look HOT, but I still want that fat gone.

Thank you ... That Trace Atkins song, "One Hot Moma" has become our theme song around here. My husband is so great - he can't keep his hands off of me these days. AND, I'm not complaining!
