Ok, I guess it is my turn to attempt to post some pictures of my work in progress. The "before" pictures were taken at my highest weight in April, 2 weeks prior to surgery. The current pictures were taken today, 46 pounds down.

Avilla here are your pics side by side and resized for you.

Before and current photos taken exactly 6 mos apart. Obviously you can see the way I feel (both days) just by looking at my face! This is the best thing I have ever done for myself!

Thank you all for your kind words! It really makes me proud of what I've accomplished so far! When I posted those photos it was the first time in 6 months that I had ever seen my "before" photo - I had no idea how really terrible I looked - I knew how I felt, but didn't really know what I had become since I avoided cameras at all cost! I decided to do an "apples for apples" comparison this morning wearing similar clothing. Here are the resulting photos. This year is OUR YEAR! Keep up the hard work (yes, it sure isn't easy, is it?)...
