Hi everyone -

I thought it would be nice to put faces to names and get some pre-op pictures on here. To start us off, here is one taken of me around Thanksgiving and one biking this past summer! Since I've never posted any pictures, I hope this comes out.

Hopefully this works. Here I am crossing the finish line at the Nike Women's Marathon on October 21st, 2007. I'm hugging my Mom and holding on to that Tiffany box. They give you a Tiffany necklace as your finisher's medal. One of the greatest days of my life!! This will probably come out as a GIANT photo....but oh well!!

What a great photo and a great accomplishment! Congratulations!

Be proud of what you have accomplished and what you are getting ready to accomplish.

I'm a photographer, so I'm going to head over to the studio in a couple days and have my husband push the button for my official "before" pictures. I don't really look forward to it. But, on the other hand, I want a TRUE before picture so that when I'm fit and fabulous it'll be as dramatic as possible. :redface:

Anyone in the Cleveland area want to swing by and get one taken, too? We can have a fat party! LOL

If only Minneapolis wasn't so far away - I'd be there in a second.

Sounds fun - have a good time with the photo shoot!

Hi everyone. Here is me at a little shindig in my golf shirt. Me and my huz on our cruise from a year ago, and me sledding this Turkey Day. It doesn't really look appropriate..., what I am doing with the sled.

Some pretty ladies here. February bandsters rock!

Me on Jan 19th. Getting the band on Tuesday 2/5.

Nice cap Peter!

Go Gators!!!!!! <chomp>

Good luck everyone.

I hope I did this right....:rolleyes2: Not really sure how to shrink it down...Sorry

Beach Bum,

That is an AWESOME picture!

:blush:Aww Thank You TaisMommy! That is very sweet of you to say!!:frown:

These pictures were taken in November '07

I am so not as short as this picture makes me look!!! The last time I had pictures taken, was my best friend's wedding 7/07

Dang. You are all so pretty!!!

*afraid I'll be the only ugly February bandster*

gibson, no one here is ugly. We are all beautiful, both inside and out. The only difference is that we are working on making the outside a work of art. I've read many of your posts and you are a blessing to be around. Please don't let some snide remarks of others keep you from being that person. The truth is, some people are so intimidated and unable to accept that, they work on making other people hurt. It actually makes them feel better, and that is essentially their problem, definitely not yours.

I will post some pictures very shortly myself. I am going to wait until my 259 pound set, which I do every ten pounds to keep a record on my progress. I am VERY close... :wink2:
