Michelle (Southern Bandgal started a pic trail for me, so I am working on scanning a before pic) I will bring some photos to Vegas with me, so you can see how big I really was. Not a lot of before pics though. I hated to have my picture taken.

See yall in Vegas now!!!!

Greg

Wow, you look fantastic! I would love to see some of the before pictures.

You look sooooo good, Goll, 138 pounds gone forever! How long did it take you to lose it? And looking for a little encouragement because so far I am doing really well, but had a couple days when it seemed like no restriction, so went off the wagon a bit. Did you have some of these days?

Whoo hooo!!! Babs - WOW! Okay, I know I'm not even comparing before and afters, but I don't need to see the befores to see that you look GREAT.

Just a couple more days!!!

Wow -- fabulous! I can't even imagine the beauty in that picture plus 138 pounds. You are an inspiration to all of us. Who's the cute little guy in the photo?

Hi,

Cindy: I have lots of days where there is little restriction and I jump off the bandwagon and eat crap. THe trick is to get back on quickly. I lost 120 in my first year and 18 in the last 3 1/2 months. It is slowing down to about a pound a week.

Zoe: The little guy is my 2 1/2 year old Ryan. I had a pic left on the roll, so I took it right before I was getting it developed. I am bringing before pics to Vegas. Dont have many of them, but will bring what I have.

Donali: Thanks so much for the compliments. I cant wait to meet you.

-138 and hoping to be -140 by Friday!!!!

My gosh, Babs, you're skinnier than the baby! You look amazing, and I can't believe you're think you take bad pictures. There's no such thing as a bad pic for someone that's lost that kind weight. FOXY!

You look so great, Babs! I saw the pic on the other board, too. You have done such a wonderful job. We can all hope to do as well as you.

Lisa,

You have a way with words. (Skinnier than the baby had me cracking up!) You should really consider a career as a satirical writer. I would be happy to co publish a book with you. At least we can make some money from our misunderstood and warped perceptions of life! LOL

Babs in TX

Babs, I've been trying to write those books for years, but I need direction and guidance. I have so much to say, and have been told to write before, but I never know where to begin. Thank you, that's one of my favorite compliments.

But you are skinnier than that babe!
