I got my first (and probably only) tattoo of my surgery date!! As I told my mom, I feel like it was the day I came alive, and I want something I can look down and see right in front of me always that symbolizes everyday it took me to get there, and how amazing every day after has been!

What an awesome idea! Congrats!!

awesome!!!!!!

I just love this... an external reminder of the new you! Great idea and it looks great!

beautiful, you'll NEVER forget that date. It's the "beginning of the rest of your life" tattoo. I've thought about what i wanted to get when i hit goal. Still not sure yet. Great job on the amazing loss!!

HOLY GUACAMOLE, that's a lot of weight - congrats!

My question...I'm dying for a foot tat...did it hurt??

Thank you everyone! I am so happy we are all in this together, and support each other . YES! It did hurt! I was totally lied to by my firends haha so I wouldn't chicken out, but it absolutely did! Luckily my little brother was there with me (his best friend is the tattoo artist) supplying a ton of jokes, a hand to hold, and a tequila shot beforehand!

That's great!!! And, holy WOW! 140 pounds lost just since Decemeber 2011?? AMAZING! Congratulations!
