Here is a before & after of me one year out. I am down 40 pds & a lot of inches. I have to say that I really haven't worked at it that hard & that is why I lost so little. I cheated- didn't exercise that much & well lived life. I know that by exercising alot more & making even better food choices I will lose at LEAST another 40 this year. I hope it will be 60;0)

The last shot is me & one of my girlfriends hanging out in Naples. I love my band & pray that I will NEVER lose it. Lord please here my prayer!

A special thank you to Penni for the montage of photos.

OMG, this is my first posting of pictures. I am so excited that I can finally see a difference. I'm down 47 lbs. and feel so much better! I look at my surgery picture and think how in the world???? I still have a long ways to go, but I just had to share.

Wheetsin had the quote right...apparently I "was" a beautiful person before, but I am so much HAPPIER now that it couldn't be better stated!

I'llsucceed - OMG, you look fabulous!! You're pics tell such a story! What an inspiration!

P'nut - I'm jealous! I'm 5'4", 227 lbs. and still stuck in a size 22! You go girl!!
