Rich and I just about a year ago...

Just got a reminder about wedding pictures from my BIL's niece's wedding which was 10/16/2004. Created this link to one of the photos. In the back row are: Rich, me, my father and my sister. http://www.collages.net/store/emailedphoto2.asp?uniqueproduct=6913464 As of the time of that photo, Rich was already down just over 100 lbs. You never saw someone smile so much and be in awe when he tried on that tux. So he is in the 320s or so in the picture and is now around 245-250 (at goal). As for me...I was probably in the 260s or so (on my way back up to 276). My mother died 2-3 weeks before the wedding. The bride wore her 52 year old wedding dress. Unfortunately my mother never got to see it finished. The wedding weekend was the thing that got Rich and I talking about me having the surgery. And about getting married ourselves...a year earlier than planned so I could get on his insurance and get the surgery done. Hard to believe that was a year ago now. Anyway, Rich and I have both come along way since that surgery. My sister too has lost weight (the wedding dress worn this day was hers too) and I want the dress she has one. Hope to try it on at Christmas. Enjoy...Kathy

Kathy, What a difference a year and WLS can make! Lori

I was already happy for you Kathy, but seeing you in that picture and knowing what a different life you have now, I am extremely happy for you and your hubby!!!
