Wow, you look fabulous! I just love the dress you are wearing in the last pic.

thank you all for your kind comments... I really appreciate them.

That dress caused me a real dilemma, it was for our school prom; staff and pupils... It took some courage to wear such a bright colour that I would never normally choose. I really want to get rid of the dowdy old me and although I was really nervous to wear it I am glad I did. I had many compliments, even off the pupils, one lad, said 'Woooooo Miss, you are looking well fit!!!' I just laughed it off and told him he was looking handsome!

At this stage in my journey my acceptance of my new body is changing... I am starting to feel good about what I have achieved; focusing on the good stuff as opposed to being fixated on the scales and I have to say, this has been a liberating experience. I would like to lose some more, but I will reconsider that in a little while... right now, I am living the pink!!

:DYou are doing fabulously! I love the pink dress!! It and red are 2

of my favorite colors. I hear you on the fixation with scales issues, but

I would simply determine what it is that would make you happy regarding your

size and lost weight. This is your investment, and you have to take care

of it in the best way. It is wonderful that others are noticing and

complimenting your successes!! Keep up the great work! Ronda

You look fabulous! What a beautiful transformation. You should be so proud.

Wow! You look awesome! I love that dress in the last picture. I know you've worked really hard to get to where you're at and you should be proud. You will serve as encouragement to me...I'm 2 weeks post op. It's hard to believe that I may share some of the same victories you're having right now. Good job! No...GREAT job!

Aww!!! Now isn't this an awesome place to be? The scale doesn't have anything ON ME!! I'm glad it doesn't for you either. All I know is you look fabulous and fit - so keep smiling and the heck with that scale.

You look gorgeous! I really appreciate you putting the pictures up so we could see you shrink with the passage of time. Would you mind me asking you a couple of questions?

What is your most favorite thing about being the size you are now, versus the size you started with?

What has been your biggest surprise along your weightloss journey?

Thanks

Sharon
