The fact that I looked forward to vacation was amazing and to go to the beach was unbelievable. First of all I fit into the airline seats! I wore bikini tops with shorts and did not feel self concious (before I wanted to be covered from my neck to my knees, lol). I had a good time taking pictures, I used to be unhappy anytime someone wanted to take pictures of me but this time I was asking everyone to take my picture (my friend bless her heart was very patient with me). I have lost 60 pounds and am loving it (40 since the surgery in june). YAY for the sleeve!!!

Wow! Great pics!

You look great! Congratulations!

Yay for YOU!!!! I find myself posting new pics of myself alllll the time on facebook. It's funny how my old pics (when I would tolerate them) were only head shots. No full body shots, please! Now I'm posing anywhere I can!

That is amazing, you look amazing! But you know what I liked most in those pics? You have such a beautiful smile!

thank you guys so much for the compliments... my self esteem is slowly but surely improving (but i promise i won't get a big head, lol). I feel more confident now and willing to try new physical activities. I can't wait to hit goal.

I know! my sister (who is skinny and think herself a model) said I'm starting to steal her thunder, lol

You look amazing, not sure I would ever wear a two piece and I know what you mean about the plane seats I love to fly now.
