Hi there thirties...I got a new haircut last night and when I got home, my boys wanted to take pictures. I couldn't believe that they were me. I actually looked "skinny". Tell me what you think...the first picture is my "before" picture (April 2007), the other two were last night. Sorry that they are a little blurry...my boys are 5 and 7...a little shaky taking pictures.

they look great!!!

YAY!

Hi:

You do have collar bones! You look great.

I found my collar bones too. I'm melting from the head down. First I noticed that some of my chins were gone, then I noticed that I had collar bones, then I noticed that my boobs seem bigger because there's not as much fat under them. I'm hoping that I can lose some of this belly. Seems to be the worst part for me, the lower belly. Plastic surgery here I come......next year.

Congratulations on your collar bones.

Sue

sue,

lucky you ... i've lost my boobs!

Back when I was in research mode, one of the things I saw consistently was very pronounced shoulder area features in all WLS patients. All that I saw pics of, anyway. This seems to be the first area we lose, but also where a huge difference is made. At this weight on my way up, my collar bones didn't protrude as much as they do now. I even have that little identation in my neck, and I was like 180 the last time I had that.

Gotta <heart> collarbones! They make us look skinny from the neck up!!

You sure DO look skinny! Congrats!!

I think every woman that looses weight should have a great haircut!!!!

WOW, you look fabulous!!

I am having surgery on March 17 and I can't wait until I can see my collar bone too!

Congrats on the collar bone!! You look fantastic!

You look great!!!!! I am finally going to get my new do sometime this month. I like it and might have to take the picture to show my girl. Something simple is what I want and I really like it.

You look AMAZING!

Those "now" photos are great! Love the way they got a great shot of the ceiling. You and your new haircut look wonderful-congratulations on your success.

Thanks guys...I appreciate all the kind words. I've been slacking on my diet and exercise the last two weeks because I have been sick. I need to jump on that treadmill and get things back on track. I want to get to a 100 pound loss before my one year bandiversary. I know I can do it. I only have 13 pounds to go and I have two and a half months to do it. However...I would LOVE to get there by my sons birthday (3/18). Wish me luck!!! Good luck to all of you too.

Wow Tina, you look fabulous!!! Keep up the good work!

You look absolutely fabulous!!! It's very inspiring!

You look GREAT!
