    Gladster, you are looking GREAT! I started noticing a big change after the first 20 pounds, but it seems no one else did, and when I hit 35 I really saw a diference and STILL was only get occasional comments. However, in the last three weeks, EVERYONE has noticed a difference (I'm at 50 now) and it's not just "a difference", it's a "WOW!" difference! Actually there seems to be a point when the POUNDS start to slow down a little and the INCHES start to fall of, and that's when people started to stop me in the hallway and go WOW. You've done a phenominal job! Keep it up!

    You look great! I can see the loss all over your body! Thanks for posting them...I started at the same weight and had surgery with Dr. Rodriguez, too, so it's cool to see what I might look like when I lose some more!

    Keep up the good work!

    :whoo:
