Here are some before and "after" pics. I put after in quotes since I'm still losing. I was shocked to look at these two pics side by side today and thought it could be motivating.

The first picture was taken in April 2011, one month prior to surgery. I weighed 414 pounds in the first photo and was wearing size 32 pants. The second picture was taken today, I weigh 301 pounds and am wearing size 24 jeans.

Thanks! Bigdaddy you are totally rockin your sleeve too! Congrats!!!

Cali, you're looking great! Be sure to keep track of your measurements, too--I didn't measure, rats, so I can't tell how many inches I've lost, and I wish I had a record of that.

You're just kicking it!! Keep up the great work and congratulations!!

YOU ARE DOING AWESOME! WAY TO GO!

Congrats, you look great!

Thanks! I haven't taken measurements...I probably should start, good idea!
