Sunday weigh-in, 6/24/2007 edition.

Your pics look great! How did you do the side by side pics, I want to do some 2 month pics but I don't know how to get them side by side. Roz

Thanks for commenting! I have a little advantage for doing the side-by-side, unfortunately. Part of my job is graphic design so I have the software to create pictures available to me. I used Adobe InDesign which is really easy. You can probably do it with any photo software like Photoshop. I just created a new project and placed all four pictures, then exported it as one single picture (jpeg). I did it specifically because I was having a hard time looking at the pictures singly and seeing the difference. Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions.

Way to go everyone!!!!!! Sounds like everyone is having WOW after WOW!!!! I had a good week. I am down another 2lbs. I started my journey at 242, DOS 230, Today 188. I too have started to notice the extra skin. My question before surgery was what plastics will I need.... I have started seeing the signs... Full Body Lift, arms, and Breasts. I do feel the energy coming back and yet get impatient. As summer is in full swing I find myself forgetting to look at how far I have to go and not being proud of how far I have come. Thanks for keeping me in check. Jessica... YOU LOOK AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! Katherine

Highest weight (early last summer): 310 Day of surgery: 250 Last week: 232.1 Today: 228.7 3.4 since last week and 81.3 all together. Hopefully my stall is over for now. Congrats to all our big losers Ride on!!

You guys are all too nice THANK YOU. I needed it too, I am having my own anxiety for the last couple of days about not losing enough or fast enough. It will pass I am sure...

Anyway: highest weight 357 DOS (bowl prep) 349 today 296 61 pounds I will never see again I love this message board!! I go to a few others but I really feel everyone pulling for eachother.

Ok this is my first post on the Sunday Weigh-in but here goes! Highest 325 DOS 309 Today 264 Total lost 61 pounds lost forever! This is week 2 of working out with a personal trainer and I see and feel a world of difference! In the first week alone I was in a stall phase and lost 11 lbs so I love the workouts! Have a great week to all! I read everyday and you all are doing a great job!!

Hi DD and everyone!! You are all doing so well, I am so proud of our successes and even of the struggles through the tough times - we have to remember those for when we get ****y later, lol. I am down 1.5 lbs this week, to 271.5 from my highest 322 - so I have lost 50.5 pounds and Tuesday is my 2 month surgiversary! Yesterday my husband and I cleaned out the closet - he has lost 15 lbs since my surgery, just by making better choices and no more fast food (except once a month he allows himself something). I packed up 40 articles of clothing for a friend who can use them, and found that I can wear about 10 things I was keeping that I thought were still too tight. I'm doing pretty well with the clothes and have only bought a smaller size denim skirt so far, oh, and new underwear, lol. Bras are still hanging in there, but hooked on the tightest hook (gosh, DD and Jeff, I bet you're thrilled to read that!!) Yesterday I went to Steve and Barry's and checked out the new Bitten clothing line and it comes to a size 20 - so soon I can buy affordable jeans and tshirts - wooohooo!! DD, surgery so far - very successful, not easy as we all know, but worth it every day, even the bad ones. Shr-inky
