5 month update (a little late) w/pics!

My 5 month anniversary was 8/31, I am officially no longer obese, just overweight! I lost a grand total of 14 lbs. last month, 4 of those coming dramatically in the last few days before my anniversary after my plateau finally broke. I've lost 2 more since then, I hope this keeps up! My progress pictures are here: http://www.knology.net/~richardson/progresspics.html Michelle Lap RNY 3/31/05 Dr. Richard Stahl 277/188/150?

Wow, I can really see the difference in your 4th and 5th month pictures. You are looking curvy and gorgeous! Way to go! Becky

really? thank you!! i didn't notice as big of a difference, but you're like the 3rd person that said that so i guess i better start believing it! thanks again!

Congratulations Michelle, So glad your plateau broke! Keep up the hard work! Hugggs, Heidi

thank you!!! i'm glad too, i was starting to think that the honeymoon period was already over.

Congratulations! You look wonderful! Susie 235/163

thank you!

Michelle, You look awesome! I didn't know it was you until I went to your link and saw your original pic. What a change, for the better. Don't you just love trying on new clothes now? I use to hate to have to go buy clothes because I hated the way I looked in almost everything I tried on. Now I can't get enough. Anyways, you look marvelous darling. Deborah W. 298/204/170

thanks!! it's fun, but at the same time i can't really afford to get a lot of new things so it's frustrating. i need to go thrift shopping, last time i found a lot of 14/16's but wasn't quite there yet, so i should be able to find some good stuff this time.

Michelle, Wow! You've done such a great job! Isn't this just mind blowing? Toni 267/177/130
