I take monthly pictures of myself. Here's the latest 10 months out. I can't wait to sit by the pool on our cruise in two weeks. No more hiding behind a cover up and hoping nobody was looking.

Hello everyone, I have only lost 50 pounds so far, but I think there is a difference. Let me know what you think. I took this picture yesterday after trying on a blouse I bought a year ago and it finally fit me. My face looks awful because I have been sick with the flu, just look at the bod... LOL.

By the way, everyone looks awesome.

I didn't really want to post until there was a significant difference, but decided I would be brave...I think there are some subtle differences anyway. You all look truly amazing!! Keep up the great work!!!!!

I'm 13 pounds from my original goal, but now I think I am going to create a new goal. I've lost 62 lbs total, but I want to lose maybe 30 more.

OK...here's my halfway there pic...

I feel almost normal!

Here are the pictures that my plastic surgeon took of me before I had my band fitted in Sept 07 and at my final pre-op in Jan 08, the weightloss was about 33lbs. I have just had a FTT and lipo but I dont know how to get the pictures off my camera! As soon as I get back to the UK I will post some more.
