Thanks @@KindaFamiliar but just because I SAID I wasn't fishing for compliments doesn't mean you couldn't have given one! .

LMAO!

And that, kind gentlemen, is the secret to winning the hearts of the fairer sex. Give more than she asks for.

Lol @VSGAnn2014a. Exactly!!

Thanks again to all for the comments and complements (except @KindaFamiliar)! And can I just say that each day I am reminded how amazing this journey is regardless of my new figure (though that certainly helps!). I have just moved 13 bags of mulch each weighing at least 40 pounds and I'm not even out of breath! Seriously the most amazing part. I moved 16 bags mulch to the front yard last week and had to go up a slight hill and while I was more out of breath then, I wasn't sore the next day! Used to when I did yard work, I could barely move for 3 days or more later! And PS despite the gross loose skin, when I am working in the backyard alone by the pool and gates closed, I wear a bikini top win my shorts to get some sun! Quite shocking to me that would EVER do that!

@@melyssafaye - thank you! And what a strange story! How could they mistake you? Damn kids! ???? (seriously that's just offensive. Clearly you looked nothing alike but they chose not to acknowledge you. Just rude!)

Daisee, your summer this year sounds a lot like mine: lots of physical labor doing stuff like hauling bags of mulch while wearing bikini tops.

What a different life, eh?!

I'm no expert on such matters of course but in my defense...

Before one can win the heart of a lady one must win her attentions...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I just did precisely that...

Not that winning hearts is my aim...

I've won the heart I need...

But i am the (alleged) resident creeper after all...

So I've a reputation to live down to...

@@Daisee68,

You look fantastic – just as one might expect given your hard work and tremendous accomplishments! Congratulations on your weight loss and on getting past goal weight. I hope you can start to see how far you have come and you can be proud of yourself – because you deserve it, and because recognizing your hard work and its payoffs will help motivate you to keep the weight off for the long-term.

You look great! My therapist said much the same. I'm a cheapskate and was avoiding buying clothes unless they absolutely were falling off. She told me the people who have the most trouble are ones who do just that. She suggested I wear appropriate sizes and get used to seeing real self.

I hit goal in February 2013, and it took quite awhile before I saw myself realistically. When I see my before pix, I can't imagine I was that big. Sometimes even now I will notice someone looking at me and I think my dress is stuck in my panties or something, my friends have to tell me...no, you and your porn star hair (running joke) are being checked out

Photos help, time helps!

Congrats on your success!

You look great and must feel great too. What an amazing transformation! It takes time but your brain will eventually catch up to where your body is. I just visited "Model My Diet" myself today to get an animated picture of what losing the 95 lbs I have lost looks like to others.

And thank you for your kind advice and support in my very early days in this WLS journey.

You Rock girl! xxxx

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
