I just love everyone's pictures!!! You all look SO GREAT!

I thought I'd post a before and during picture, just for fun. The 'before' picture on the left is me at my sister's wedding last year; and the picture on the right is me this morning!

Totals are:

80 pounds down since the wedding...

32 pounds on my own

25 pounds down from pre-op diet

23 pounds down since surgery :D

I feel awesome!
