As you can see I have a new picture on my profile. I am 3 days over 9 months out. I have a few more pics added on my profile. Total lost 117.5 My BMI has dropped from 55.1 to 35.9. I'm gettin there! Julia

OK I almost did not see any of the before Julia there!!! My goodness you look fabulous!!! So young!!! WOW, it made my morning! Girl we on this board are just like butterflies....changing into these new women. I am sooo happy for you...I am in shock at the strking difference since last picture. You go Girl!! As my almost 36yr old daughter would say, "You Rock Girl"! IN Christ's love, Joan M

Joan, I haven't put any of my pre-op pics on my profile. They really are bad, but maybe I will scan them into the computer and post them on my profile. Julia

you look amazing yea for you ,but I have to say is that snow wow it looks cold there brrrrr we dnt have snow here you do ROCK keep it up

Thanks Rebecca, You look great too. We rarley have snow in Roseburg. We are considered the banana belt area of Oregon, however this time it is staying cold, barely up to freezing in the daytime so it is not melting. We live on a hill side with a hill behind us so the sun that has come out some, doesn't hit us as much. It is suppose to warm up in a day or two so it will melt. Julia

The difference is so noticeable just since last month. You are blooming into a beautifulf butterfly. Keep up the good work. We are all blooming into a beautiful butterfly and we will look like a whole new person. Yeah for US! Julia you go girl. Hugs Kathleen

The change to see in all of us is fun isn't it. Now for the face lift in my future!!! Julia

Julia, Your new pictures are wonderful. Keep up the good work. I'm still struggling to hit that century mark. Also after trying on bras at VS yesterday, I need to look a plastic surgery. All of my age wrinkles and sagging skin wrinkles are showing up. The water aerobics are working though I can definately see the muscles under the sagging skin. And then at Christmas my Dad told me that I looked 8 months pregnant, and I do thanks to the wide hernia I have. Jeanne

Jeanne, I know what you mean about needing plastics, especially my tummy flab errr I mean flap!!. Some I will definitly do, others, I don't think so. It is ugly under those clothes but I am looking forward to gettting really nice clothes to cover it all!!! Julia

Ah nice clothes, please tell my pocket book that I don't need anymore. My girlfriend is telling me that I'm a clothes hound. Yes, I did hit the Macy's after Christmas sale last weekend and did major damage. Especially when I tried on a pair of 16 pants and they fit. Then they didn't have the color I wanted in a 16 so I thought for the fun of it I would try the 14's. They fit like a glove especially in the booty. No more baggy rear end. And i couldn't resist buying 2 pairs of pants, 3 jackets, 7 tops and a skirt. The price was right $10-12 a piece. Gotta watch for the next one day sale will need spring and summer clothes. Plus I still have a Macy's gift card. Now I must be feeling better about how I look because I've even hemmed the pants.. Something I haven't done in a long time. Jeanne
