I thought it would be fun to post progress pictures. I see the pictures of me now and still think that I look so fat but compared to my before picture I look so much better.

The first picture is 12.24.07 which is one month and four days after surgery. The second is today.

Awesome picture! You are looking so awesome. Doesn't if feel good.

Keep up the great work everyone!

Cindy

You all look so good - all a inspiration to me!!! I need to go get some pictures taken of me so I can post them. I have before pics, now I need some new ones. Keep up the great work!

Holly, Thanks,, Yes it feels great. I knew I had gained BUT didn't realize HOW big I had gotten. Now when I look back at these pix, I can see my big ol round basketball face, WOW. And now I have cheekbones and only 1 chin instead of 3. Now if I can just get rid of my 3 tummies,,,

Every one is doing so well. It's fun to see who we've been "talking" to. Keep up the good work.

So, here are some pix of this evening. I finally got to shoot my new bow. I had it since early May and with moving twice in the last 3 months... well... not much time to fling sticks. My form is WAY off; not that there are any expert archery coaches in the room! :cool2: Hey... if there are, by all means, critique my form! LOL

Also, I am firmly down into 2x shirts and 38x32 pants! I just hit the clearance rack at Khols the other day. It is SOOOOO good to be able to walk into a store and not have to wonder if they have a Big & Tall section! I just go to the mens section and start picking out clothes! Now, I did try out a pair of Levies 501 button flys! NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! I stopped wearing those my freshman year in HS. I think my thighs will always be too muscular and "left-over-flab" to get back into 501's.

Anyway...

Before -- Spring & Halloween '07

Current-- Today 8-4-08

What a great looking bunch of people. I think I am due to put some new after shots up.

Wow you look great! You and I share the same band date. Could you give me some idea of what you eat? I've lost about 44lbs and seem to be at a plateau. I have a 14cc band and just had a 3cc fill under fluro that puts me at about 12ccs. I can finally fill some restriction, but can definitely eat more than a cup of food. I'm really starting to get discouraged.
