I found a before and after pic if me and here it is... It's hard to even look at the before because I knew I was big but didn't see just HOW big .. It's embarrassing to post this but I know we have all been there..

Wow!!!!! You look amazing! Congratulations!

You should be proud, you took a very big step towards a healthy life and its not an easy thing to do!

Oh and you look awesome!

You should be proud! You look great!! How far out are you? My surgery is Monday & I'm currently 259, hope I look as good as you in a few months

You look awesome! I know how you feel. I don't realize just how big I was til I look at pics of me the morning of surgery. Then I feel sad/sick. You look great!

Congrats!!

I have some pictures that make me feel the same way. I hope to have the courage to keep a few before photos on my fridge once I become an after to remind me of what I was in denial about for a long time. Thank you for sharing with us. You have accomplished a lot.

Congratulations! You look amazing and Im sure you feel it too. Ive always had a body dysmorphic thing going so I really never knew how big I was until I saw it in pictures. Therefore I dont have many because I was so ashamed. Im proud of you for putting it out there and especially seeing how far you have come. Awesome job!

Hey we all have before pics we are not proud of. I know I avoided a camera like the plague. You've done an amazing job! Congratulations!

Thank you everyone!!!!! I am so happy with the after! I have a lil more to go but I am happy where I am. The before us just a wake up call.. My blood pressure is now normal and no other issues. Even my migraines are gone!

I actually had a hard time finding a before pic! Lol I realized I did the same thing and avoided the camera every chance I got when there are tons of pics with my husband and my girls but not me.. It's really sad but now I have a ton if pics with my girls! Lol

Look how great you look! I know it's hard to look at before pics, but I'd say you rocked it lady.

AWESOME!

Thank you!!!!

my hospital takes before and then after pics a year after surgery. They send you a copy of the pics as well. Like you, i knew i was big, but holy freaking crap!! I can't believe i actually looked like that and was THAT huge! But i keep them out to remind me why i'm doing this. I don't like looking at them, but it is a huge wake up call. I can't wait to have some after pics, especially if i can look as good as you do! Damn girl, you totally rocked it!
