Okay, there goes my ego again! Thanks girls, I feel pretty fantabulous!

Port - hmm, wouldn't that be wild if after all my hell, my one little fill is my actual sweet spot? Oops, did I just jinx it? Yesterday I got some restriction and ate very bandlike (aka ladylike.)

The jacket's too small. It fits real snug, but I don't want to "shrink into it." I want it roomy. I tried an XL on in the store that was really, really tight, so I ordered a 2X figuring it would be much roomier. But when you're talking Harley brand leather jackets, the difference between an XL and a 2X is barely noticeable. I need just a hair more length to the arms and one more speck of "give" so I'm gonna order the 3x.

I'm in total disbelief today because I squeezed my ass into Michelle's size 18 Capris. Michelle, you know those darling ones you sent me with the leather fringe/belt? F-ing CUTE. I'll take a pic tonight - they're a flipping size 18, granted their stretch jeans and I'm wearing girdle undies and barely breathing, but woo-hoo (hey, one day at a time, and for today it's woo hoo!)

Another fabulous set of pictures! DeLarla, I've read some of your posts about your difficulties with your port and your doctor, and now I can really see why you would say it's worth it. You look great. And your black-and-white dog looks like he could be the uncle to my Sophie (b/w Lab mix). These pictures are inspiring me to stay away from Ben & Jerry (my favorite guys) during mushy week. Thanks!

Ben and Jerry are my lovers. Ohhhh, sexy! That's Voodoo with Chloe McSorley. She's my doll (friend's bb.) I accidentally posted the wrong pic, but they're so cute together that I left it in.

OMG Lisa, you look like two different people. The pictures are great. You look incredible. You should be very proud of yourself. You are going to look great on the Harley.

Thanks girlies! My sister is a computer-type person and she somehow combined one picture showing the before and after pictures side-by-side. I'm trying to figure out how to post that instead of having to scroll down. I'm just not very computery.

DeLarla,

You look absolutely fabulous! I agree with Bright, you have a great figure... lucky girl!

You are doing a fantastic job. Thanks for sharing your progress and photos.

[DeLarla 22]

Let me see if this works... my sister combined both pictures so you can see them side by side.

Hey, I'm just .75 inch shorter than you -- and if I looked the same as you at 262 lbs. I might not have had the surgery! The side-by-side pictures really help show the change. Wow!

[La_madam 20]

Lisa..posting those pics side by side you can see such a huge difference. You look SO GREAT! I'm very happy for you. It has been a rough road for you and you have done an awesome job. Way to go!! You are beautiful

[DeLarla 22]

Zoe, I'm actually 5 feet 9 inches, but I don't like working in fractions. I'm a whole number kinda gal cuz my mind has too much complication already!

And I gotta tell you, Zoe, last night I was babysitting a little girl named Chloe. She's very bright and wanted me to read the postings, and when I read yours, she became very excited and said she had a friend named Zoey that rhymes with Chloe - cute stuff.

Thanks, Michelle. Next set of pics I'll be wearing your clothes. But I want the moderator to delete this whole post because I complicated stuff by starting a brand new post with the side-by-side shot. How do I delete this whole thing?

Fantastic job, Lisa!

Is that sunburned pool going to be all healed up for the party at your house? woo hoo...bandster pool party! Wait...have any of your seen what your newly flabby skin looks like in a pool? It takes on a life of it's own!!! Mine likes to try to swim in the other direction...and it's very floaty.

lol, ohboy. i can't wait for that.. lol

[donali 57]

Yay, Megan!!! I was just about to post a "Where's Megan?" thread. :mad:

DeLarla, we don't want this thread deleted - go back and edit the original posts you used to start the thread and either delete the pics, or post different ones instead.

[DeLarla 22]

Donali, it's all so computery to me. My mind is busy seeking revenge on my husband to think of anything else.

The pool tiles have been set and plaster is scheduled for Monday. But the pool isn't heated, so it will be quite nippy when they refill. A heater will cost $1200, I'm selling my husband.

I saw a funny sticker last night, "He might look hot, but some other woman is sick of his shit." Something like that.

Hey Megan, nice to see you. I was really inspired by all the support after posting this, so last night I was pretty band friendly and had one Bloody Mary and a small dinner. I've already been on my xtra long walk and did my total gym today, and I'm drinking my Water like a good girl.

way to go lisa!! you'll get there. i'm like you. i struggle everyday, but it's working, in spite of me. lol.
