The first Pic was taken about 2 yrs ago at my Heaviest, 270 lbs.

Since I wouldn't let people take pics of me this is the only one I could find and at the time I hated him for taking it. So now I thought it would be fun to take a similar pic to see the difference.

Yesterday we went to the beach.

Vera.....you look great! Thanks for posting your pics. It helps to see others in their successes (is that a word? It made me make a whistling sound) anyway I appreciate you sharing.

What a beach babe! Can't believe the difference Vera - you look great - what a change - I love the hat too!

So great to see photos of you at last - I love your hair - I have ALWAYS wanted curly hair

take care xx:D

Vera, you look sensational!!! you're so cute!!!! and where did you get that bathing suit?? it looks fab on you!!! thanks for the pics...........gabby

Thanks for all the wonderful compliments, I'm smiling.

Oh bathing suits. I've got quite a collection. The bottoms are from a Lands End set I got on E-bay. The top for that set was dirty at the time (very cute with one large stripe over the bust) so I wore it with a tankini I've had for years, I think it was purchased at Mervys. I have a purple set tankini top, boy short bottoms I just love also from E-bay. The trick for me is I buy bathing suits 2 sizes larger. Ebay has great deals if your quick to "buy them now" or wait till the last minute to bid so you don't drive up the price. These suits can run $60.00 at the store, isn't it ridicules the price of clothing! I love E-bay

hey vera!

i love e-bay to! i bought a BRAND NEW newport news bathing suit for $15 that is AWSOME!!!!
