Damn! Sorry these R so huge LOL!!!

Started my pre-op diet January 27th and I was banded February 6th ... IF I can do it anybody on the whole freaking planet can I thought I was the most fattest pathetic thing that would never lose that ... LAP BAND CHANGED ALL OF THAT!

Go APPLES!!!!!!!! I was wondering what happened to you lately? You was losing some pounds, Go'Head Gurl!

Gorgeous baby gorgeous!! Isn't it so much fun to see yourself thinner? My dh is pulling out some older pics of me and I can hardly believe I looked like that, sigh.... Keep up the great work!!

You are so awesome Apple!!! Im down about 20 pounds-- 38? you rock!!! :thumbup:

Thanks so much!! the supportive comments really mean the world to me!

Apples! Thanks so much for sharing the pictures! You're a gorgeous lady!

And that's a GREAT weight loss . . . congratz to you! I can't wait to lose more of my "double chin" . . . it's getting there!

To resize your pictures, do you have a paint program? I think one usually comes with computers (I'm not a computer person so not 100% sure) . . . something called Paint Shop (or a similar name).

Grats again beautiful lady!

Damn Apples, look how much thinner your face is!!!!! You are doing great!!!!! Keep leading the way for us!!!

Thanks Jax!!! I really love and appreciate all of you! It feels really good to be down some pounds when I havent see the scale move in ages!!! LITERALLY! LOL! I Just really wanna keep it going and no stopping! I know the weight loss will slow but let it slow after my first 100 ... I really wanna be down 45 more by June! I hope I pray! At this point I will be happy at 200 pounds and I am a tall girl so ... it wounldnt look as bad on someone thats 5'9 1/2 rather than 5'2 or 5'3 ... LOL but me and my hubby are going to Cancun for our anniversary in June and I wanna look good!!!! GOOD GOOD! LOL ... Maybe a cute bikini ... I dont know but thanks for the love everybody. We will all be victorious come this time '09!!!
