I just had to post this! I am down 43lbs....have had two stalls, but I am here and HAPPY! I start my exercise program next month......so I am excited with my changes and expect to see them really show up when I add exercise. That was one of the reasons I had the surgery, so my already arthritic knees would not get worse as I exercise. I love weight lifting and I love the shape of my muscles when I trim down! This has been a long time coming. I have not been this size since 2007. Trying to attach my Face photo.....hope it shows up!

You look beautiful, keep it up. Work that sleeve!

Very pretty! Congrats!

You look great!

You look fantastic! Keep up the good work.

Beautiful!

You look wonderful ! Keep up the good work.

Congrats!!! The first thing I noticed about how I look was also the loss of the "moon" face!!

I kind of wish I could keep my moon face. When I lose weight my natural face shape shows, and unfortunately I have a chin like the wicked witch of the West. Haha

Thanks all.....it's nice to have support and encouragement!
