just had to post about this. i went out with my girlfriends this weekend and i just got a chance to look at some of the pictures. i almost didnt recognize myself in them. if i werent the only redhead id have sworn it wasnt me! (i put 1 up in my album for anyone who wants to look.) then i look at some pics i took in jamaica in november. what a major difference. i was so heavy, not to mention miserable. those were almost the only pics i took on vacation cuz i felt so fat. i almost cant imagine how hot ill be when i get to goal. lol

i just had to post on here. some things only my band friends understand. i am so much happier than i've been in years. i am really getting back to me. i np longer think people stare cuz im fat.i actually fel like people look now cuz im attractive. the band has given me the best gift i've ever recieved and that gift is the real ME!

You look FABULOUS! Great job. I hope that I will be as successful as you have been. I'm 3 weeks post-op. I lost 20lbs in the first 10 days and only 1-2 lbs since then. I'm only eating 500 calories a day. Sounds like I need to up my calories a bit to actually loose wight. What are your secrets?

That's wonderful. Its really nice when you occasionally get a glimpse of yourself as other see you, rather than agonising over tiny details. Its a big shock to realise you're NORMAL and ATTRACTIVE!!

Jennifer,

I so know where you are coming from. I've had some crazy moments too, looking in the mirror, seeing the woman I always wanted to be looking back. It's fantastic.

You are the same you as you've always been, just happier and healthier. Congratulations on your weight loss. w00t!

Jennifer, what an awesome post and what a wonderful milestone.

You are doing great and your attitude is even greaterer (yes, I know that isn't a real word, but I like it.)

:thumbup:

Congrats on your loss!!! The pics look great!

Keep up the good work! Congrats on your success so far :thumbup:

How great is that!?! Congratulations on your NSV!

Congrats!! I looked at some pics of me from last Oct and am shocked at the difference.. sometimes it takes pics to tell the difference. Speaking of which, I really need to put a new picture of myself on here..

thank all of you so much. and all of you guys are doing great. hers to the skinnier, happier and healthier people we are all becoming!
