After studying before and after face pictures of so many other people, I secretly wondered, if after losing the weight if I would feel like my nose was too big or my eyes would be enormormous, or suddenly I would have massive wrinkles where fat once was. So I was pleasantly surprised with my little comparison. More evidence that when you gain weight it affects every part of your body!! Amazing isn't it?

The before pic looks like it's your older sister. It's great how the clock appears to have gone backwards for you!

WOW! I agree with above post! You look so much younger. Both pics are beautiful, and you are looking fantastic!!! I noticed my shoes are more comfortable and, of course, walking in heels is much easier! I took for granted that, as you say, weight affects every part of our bodies, and that means our tootsies too! :-) I got this great new pair of heels to celebrate reaching onederland. I'm going to post a pic soon! Congratulations on your wonderful loss. You look awesome!!!!!

Agreed with the above!! You look so much younger; beautiful in both! But now your eyes really do shine through... x

...Omg Ren, you are my NEW best friend! I'm 39 years old.

Thank you everyone for the sweet comments...I was so used to seeing my face puffed up by fat, I wasn't sure what was underneath. :confused_smile:

You look beautiful! Hope I look so well!!!! Tracy w.

Thank you Tracy! HOW are you and your hubby both doing? How much are you down? How are the girls taking everything?? Sorry for the 20 questions...you may have updated along the way...I miss a ton around here.

Hey to you, Well, I've lost about 89lbs since Jan which includes my dr supervised stuff and my hubby(who is a month behind me with surgery dates) is at 92lbs....so on our 14th anniversary we celebrated by sharing fahitas and trying on jeans! I haven't worn jeans in 25yrs! They didn't look great yet but I got them on! I seem to deal with stalls some, he doesn't ever! NOT FAIR!!! Sometimes I get sick of protein and want to eat chips...which I do at times! But I don't want to treat this as a law or something...I just keep on trucking! You look great.. and your right my face is changing too...it's so weird! Keep up the good work! Tracy w.

You look fantastic lady! And you eyes look perfect!

I am sure when you walk by you are getting double and triple takes. Carry around the silver bullet to fend off the wolves!

No wrinkles! You look great. I see you still love pretty necklaces.

Wow, awesome photo comparison!! You do look so much younger!!

I have a turkey wattle neck now, but overall I'm not as scared by increased wrinkles/sag as I thought I would be.
