Here is a pic from this summer. Its a sideveiw. I cant find any front veiws on my computer but I am on the hunt to scan one. There must be an old one of me standing, when I was at 400 pounds.

Here are my pictures at 270, 255, 225, and 205.

If there is a kind soul who could put these pictures side by side like Tricia did, I would be ever so grateful...pleaseee.

Teresa, Vera took the words right out of my mouth, what I notice the most is how happy the two of you look. Your man looks so in love with you. You go girl!

Oh yeah, I remember those other pictures, what a difference!

First one is me in Vegas for my 10 year anniversary - 1 week before surgery @ 266 pounds

[ATTACH]3371[/ATTACH][ATTACH]3372[/ATTACH]

Second is me getting ready for Hubby's Holiday Party - 6 weeks post-surgery @ 244 pounds

Personally, I think I look bigger in the most recent one!! Maybe it's the big sumo arms hanging out or maybe it's the big hair-do!! I feel a bit like the boo-bah you see in the background!

I took the old pic of me that Pat found on the forum and mixed it with a couple of the recent Mexico shots. We LOVED our cruise and can't wait to book another one. What a wonderful worry free way to vacation. I have never been treated better in my life.

Ok, I'm not down near as much as ya'll, but I can see a difference in my face, so I decided it was time for me to post some pics.

post-204785-13813132748022_thumb.jpg

The first picture is before I had my lapband surgery. Not my highest weight, but my highest over the last few years. The second is today at our NC get together.
