I would love to see a thread with all of our progress pictures on it so I will be the first. DH gave me the idea. I was on Lucky #7's reading and he asked me where everyone's progress pics were and I said, "Well, you have to scroll through the posts to find them" Which is kinda hard to do so I decided to start a new thread for progress pics and here it is.

I will start with mine.

Pic on left is 072608, just before surgery...............................................Pic on right is 012708, 6 mos. later

Janet you look beautiful and stand with so much confidence on your face. You are amazing and such an inspiration to all of us. YOU GO GIRL!!!

Thank Jackie - but the chin is up cua you know how it goes the chin was always up due to the double chin issues now it's turkey neck and habit

You say you have 57 more lbs to go - I dont see 57 maybe 30-40 - but I wont' deter you from your goal - I was talking to my trainer and he thinks 150 would be a good number for me - he said i am big boned - that i have big hands and feet - yep 9 or 10.. He is doing a program about weight issues and women - it's not the # on the scale - it's how you look and feel - he said I would be to skinny at 120 or 130 - LOVE MY TRAINER ME TOO SKINNY - I have never been to skinny - I am not changing my ticker cuz we will see what 160 looks like first..

I totally get the holding the head up more to hide the chin. I have done that for so long I still do it. This last time I took pics I tried to mentally put my chin down but when they were taken I noticed that the chin is still noticable.

I don't know about the 57 lbs either. Like I said I was 20lbs more than what my goal was before and some people commented that I was 'too skinny'. My mom was having a fit thinking I was going to opposite and becomming anorexic. The thing is even if I lost the 57 lbs I would still be on the high end of my BMI. I don't know. My family doc thinks 57 will be way to much but I will see how I feel and look as I go. We are our own worst critics so I may have to post after another 20-30 lbs and see what you all think.

Grrrr! My comments got chewed up as well. You're both looking fantastic. Not only is our group the friendliest on the forum we're damn gorgeous to boot and getting sexier by the day! :biggrin:

I wasn't sure what made me want to cry more...the new BEFORE pics or my GORGEOUS new pics. I decided if there were going to be tears, they were going to be tears of joy. Look at my face...I don't even look the same to me! I am normally not one to toot my own horn, but DAMN I am looking good! Can't wait for the tummy tuck, so that I feel this good about my WHOLE self.
