here are my before and now pictures, as recent as lastnight.

I dont know how to copy the pics directly into the text but here I am...

The first pic is April 2004, 6 months prior to surgery, the second is June 2005 and the last is September 9th with my daughter and my best friend.

The before pictures are from 2000 - that is a ways before my surgery but I was very resistant to having my picture taken so I had to dig deep! The now pictures are from mid Sept 2005.

I'm down 40 lbs & have 60 to go.

First picture me at 280. Second picture me now at 190

I can't really tell in my body yet but I've had several people tell me this week that they can tell I've lost weight in my face so I found some pictures and I can start to tell a little bit of a difference.

A month before surgery

down -25 lbs!

There.. Now I have a before pic.. (of my face anyway)

Sad thing is, I already lost 40 pounds in this pic

I think this is JUNE 05

I am down 65 now, but my digi cam is broken.

I will get a after pic soon... asap

I am most interested in this fat ugly engorged deformed face looking normal again, (sorry.. but thats how I feel, its SOoooooooo hard to post this)

I wont post many ugly pics until i have nicer ones to set next to them, I got some dozies...

P.S..NOT MY COUCH and NOT stoned~And not pissed off either.. thats just how I look.. its an exhausted FAT lady..

Well, I've never posted a before and after pic before but I hit the 50 lb milestone a few days ago and I figured it was time...

My before pic (blue t-shirt in case you can't tell ) is me at 285 last year. I couldn't find a more flattering picture - I usually hide when cameras come out but someone caught me unaware. The after pic is me in my bedroom today at 235. I still have 85 lbs to go, but I'm feeling so much better already. I can't wait to get under 200!!
