I was curious if everyone would like to start this kind of thread here with us Crazy Ates?

Boy am I glad I stopped by today. I had problems with my band and it was removed after 7 months. That was 3 months ago. These photos sure steer me toward getting the band back if the Doctor feels it is feasible. Thanks for the inspiration.

OK - I have hesitated and debated long enough...here are my before and in progress pics.

As you can see I am still a work in progress!:thumbup:

Jody,

You look FABULOUS!!! What an adorable little hottie you are!!!

And of course the Stein Mart outfit rocks :thumbup::biggrin:!!!

Love you girl! Congratulations :crying::thumbup::frown:!!!

Yeah Jody! So glad you posted pictures. You are just as cute as I thought you would be! I hope you feel as great as you look, because you look wonderful. Keep up the good work. Becky

Thanks Ladies!! I always appreciate the support and wonderful comments! I just finished yoga/pilates...what a killer for me!

Here's mine:

Just before the surgery.

And, at 10 mo. check up. Only done about 5 lbs from this point, but still losing size.

Awesome Ceradad! All that exercise really does show. You look great. Congrats on your success.

Congratulations Ceredad! You look fantastic. :thumbup: You inspired me a few months ago to join sparkpeople. Thanks, that was very helpful I hope to post some pictures soon!

Everyone looks AWESOME! I'm jealous, thrilled and inspired all at the same time!

Okay -- not sure how this will turn out. I'm more intimidated by trying to upload pictures than I was climbing up on the operating table! :wink2: These shots with my GrandDoll, Sloane, show a change.

Anyhow, the one in pink is on my birthday a month before surgery. The other was in May of this year with like 80 lbs gone.

Okay, 2 things:

-- No, I'm not bald, I just have a FIVE-head instead of a forehead. (That's it, I'm abandoning the slicked-back chignon!!!)

And

-- is it just me or was that 90 lbs all on my BACK??

Nana, are you kidding me? The difference is awesome! You look great and so much younger. Sloane is a cutie pie too. Keep up the good work.

Why thank you, you're so sweet!

This morning my husband and I stopped into Whataburger for our Saturday morning breakfast -- I eat two bites of the egg out of a taquito and I'm good until lunch. :smile:

Anyhow, he got up to refill his iced tea and when he was walking back to the table he got this really big, goofy grin on his face. I said, "what?" He said, "Just looking at you sometimes I'm blown away by how different you look."

It was a relief, cause lots of times he says, "I can't believe how much you look like your mother!"

And that's when the fight starts....:biggrin:

Not really -- just kidding! I do look like her and I fought it hard for years, but I've surrendered! LOL

Nana Renan

Holy Moly ------you look 15 years younger.

Perhaps you'll have to drop the Nana part!
