Awesome, you look great. I was thinking the same thing. Looked at family photos just the other day and was like, "wow, I got that big?"

You look amazing, and yes the weight sneaks on you. I have not had the surgery yet but there is a big difference between looking at pictures and looking n the mirror. Sometime when I look in the mirror I'll say to myself "I'm not that fat I don't look so bad" but then your at an outing and someone snaps a full body picture of you so you look at that picture and just want to crawl under a rock and never come out. Months go by without you seeing a pic of yourself and then its "I'm not so bad looking..." and the vicious cycle continues...well until I get sleeved lol

You look absolutely terrific! Way to go in 8 months! Keep up the great job!

I don't think I realized or let myself realize exactly how overweight I am till I kept seeing pictures of myself...pictures don't lie. I have a picture of our Great Dane Bedford as my profile pic...he's gonna stay there too, at least till I get to a weight that makes me happy! You look great, Congratulations!

You are one of my FAVORITE people here. Thank you for being so supportive.

I'm almost 40. My oldest daughter is 21. I have 2 sons 17 and 18 and 2 more daughters 7 and 4. My start weight was 246 and my surgery date was 12/12. I'm so happy with how I look. It's pretty amazing!!!

I don't think I realized or let myself realize exactly how overweight I am till I kept seeing pictures of myself...pictures don't lie. I have a picture of our Great Dane Bedford as my profile pic...he's gonna stay there too' date=' at least till I get to a weight that makes me happy! You look great, Congratulations![/quote']

Bless your heart. I remember not wanting to go places because I was so embarrassed of how I'd let my weight get our of hand. This feels so good and I pray you get to share this feeling. ALL THE BEST!
