Ok, So it is a start of a new month and many of us have or are coming up on our Month anniversary and many will be hitting it soon. So I thought it would be fun to start a before & after thread, so we can all share in our progress.

So Here is mine, The pictures are not the best sorry.

I am still having a hard time seeing the changes, but I feel the differences.. in my clothes and I know that the outside appearance will catch up I guess... I just wish the weight loss would help with my Lupus Rash (this is why my face is so red and has sores)

Thank you very much. It is always encouraging to hear that the weightloss is noticable to others! sometimes we can be so hard on ourselves. Your pictures are amazing too. Keep up the great work!

well I hope I put up my pictures right. The first one was taken last christmas the next was taken july 4th over a month after surgery, and the last one was taken 3 weeks ago. I can tell in my face that I have lost weight!

Wow, you look great! Your smile in the last picture says it all! :thumbup: Fantastic work!

Ann, You look absolutly AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to have DH take a pic of me tonight... I've noticed the incredible difference lately.

Wow, you look great, John!! And how sweet of you to give your dw a surprise party. :thumbup:

I just posted these on the big before/after thread, but I thought I'd post them in our May thread too.

Today, I broke through the 200 barrier so I thought I'd Celebrate by posting some pics... (this one is actually from Sept. so maybe 5 or 6 pounds ago...)

And from February of 2009, not all that long ago:

Linda -

Hey everyone, it's been awhile since I've been on here, just been busy, but just wanted to tell everyone that you all look great! Ann looks to me like you don't need to lose anymore you look fabulous! John you look like you could be at goal!

I thought I would join you all in photos. Before was taken about 2 years ago, but at the same weight that I started at with surgery. The 2nd one is from yesterday. I don't know how to do this so the image just shows up, so here is the link to my album. GB
