Ok guys, Thursday was my one year anniversary, but Sundays are my weigh & picture day, so postponed any updates until today. I'm now officially an 18/20 top and 22 bottom. That's down from a 34+ top & bottom pre-op, and a total loss in my first year of 130 lbs.

Here are my progress pics. Note: NO, I don't wear camis alone, only under things but it's one of the only things I could find that's "clingy" and would show my current shape.

i cannot believe it has already been 5 months... picture time!

weight loss has REALLY slowed ... REALLY REALLY slowed, but i know i am gaining muscle... in fact, if i compare 4 month and 5 month pics my shoulders and chest area look bigger in the 5 month pics, but the shirt hangs lower ... go figure...

i am down just about 80, pretty much the same as last month (less than 4 pounds lost last month :girl_hug: )

Here are some face pics that wowed me, LOOK I HAVE COLLAR BONES! I thought I was missing those LOL :confused:

The first one is July 06 and the second is last weekend :eek:

So this is my pics, First three taken last year. The two new ones taken a few minutes ago in my bathroom by my cell phone. I will hopefully get some better ones. But now you get the gist of it. These are my before and during. :)

You all look wonderful!!! I can't wait to see if my insurance company will approve me...I just turned 41 today and I'd LOVE to lose about 130 pounds!!! I've been eating healthier and just started walking so I've lost 12 1/2 lbs since January 11th, but it's SOOOO hard when I can eat whatever I want lol...

Good job everyone!!!

Here's my starting photo - about 265 lbs here (I'm in the pink sweater, right hand side...this was Thanksgiving 2006 with my kids, mom and daughters boyfriend)
