Everyone looks so good!

I wanted to do a face comparison, so I used a mirror and here are the results. Hellow neck! I see my chin, and when did my nose get so little on my face, and now I really see them! thankfully!! I have lost almost 40 lbs since the first pic in Jan 06. I had surgery in July and the after pic was yesterday. It is coming off slow... but I am so happy with the band. My next goal is to start exersizing! I only have 70 more lbs to goal!

I have stopped losing weight as fast but I am still exercising and eating right. This too shall pass. :)

I haven't posted on this thread in a while. The current pic was taken at Thanksgiving and I have lost about 15 to 20 pounds since then. I have gone from a 56 inch waist pant to a 36 inch waist and from a 3x/4x shirt to a large.

The only picture I had for a "before" shot was the one I put on here, in the pink blouse. I was about 176 in that shot and that was in August 2006.

This picture is me ( I am the one on the left) a Christmas at 190. What a difference 14 pounds does because I felt so much bigger!
