Okay, so I've added a few new pics. Some were taken last week Thursday (blue pants) and the others were taken today (red oriental shirt). I really got a lot of compliments today, and it absolutely made my day!! I LOVE THIS SURGERY!! To date I'm down -88lbs and hoping to be down -100lbs by the end of the month since I upped my exercise. Actually got up at 5:30am and went to the gym ... a first for me!! Marlize 318/230/160

So as of this week, I'm really gonna try and get into routine and stick with it ... N e ways, thanks again and thank you so much for your wonderful support, I would be lost without it!!

Hi Marlize~ You are sooooo beautiful!!!! All of your pics are just beautiful! I think your husband is truly lucky! Mine is the same way! He too has stuck with me through thick and thin!!! I had my 6 mo follow up today a couple weeks early, but I got a copy of my before and after pics at the dr office. I broke down in tears! My Dr told me if I didn't quite crying he would too! And he gave me a big bear hug! God, it felt sooooo good! I have not been able to see my weight loss so far but as of today I can and I look GOOOOOOD! And you do too! Can you tell me how to post pics on your profile and how to get your pic to show up with your post? I just cannot get this part figured out! Now I want everyone to see me! Keep up the good work! You will hit that century club before you know it! Love~ Grace

Thank you so much Grace and congratulations on your weightloss too!!!! I have my checkup end of the month, so we shall see what my doc will say!! This truly is an amazing surgery and if you use it right, you will be happy and healthy for the rest of your life, which is all most of us really want!! LOL, I bet you look really GOOOOOOOD, so now we only need to see it!! So to post some pics, I opened an account with http://imageshack.us/ . Its a free image hosting site. They will email your registration info, and dont delete the email, you will need to use the link they email you to log into your account everytime. Then browse and select your photo from your hard drive or network, select the size (they give you a selection-select the smaller pixel for adding pics to websites) and then host it. Once it uploads, it will give you a selection of code to copy into a website or a forum, I select the thumbnail for websites code. Then all you do is copy and paste the code into your profile! Please email me if you need more help, its a little tricky at first, but once you got it figured out, you can post all the pics you want!! Thanks again for the wonderful compliment and support and cant wait to see pics of your progress!!

OH MY GOODNESSS!!! What a difference.. You don't even look like the same person.. Keep up the great work.. How exciting and wonderfull is this??? Shannan

LOL .. thanks for the wonderful compliment Shannan, and may I say WOW, you look great!!!!! Oh, and we almost have the same dog if it is a schnauzer (sp?) in the picture, but ours have a little chinese crested mix in him ... very, very cute!!

Marlize, You're just adorable!! Really, you're such a cute girl and I always like to check out your profile pics because we are built alot alike, we started out at the same size, we've lost about the same amount of weight and we have similar facial features. Jus****ch, I'll post my pics and you'll say, "I don't look anything like her, she's a nut case!!" Right?!? I read the reply where you explained how to link your pics onto your profile. I'm going to try this. I'm not very computer savvy, but hopefully my man will help me out. Question: Do you have get your pics on a disk before you use the site that you had mentioned? Keep up the good work darlin, C Leigh

Oh stop it, your making me blush .... Seriously though, thank you so much for the wonderful compliments, especially the "cute girl" one since I'm almost hitting 30!! I don't look anything like her, she's a nut case!! Once you get your pictues up, I'll take a look and compare so you had better get workin on that girl!!! I like the fact that we close to the same progress, sometimes I get discouraged if I dont loose fast enough, so that makes me feel confident that we are on the right track! Please email me if you need help with downloading it. You dont need your pictures on a disk (download it from your camera onto your hard drive), it only needs to be on your hard drive (C or like me on our network. Then you just select what you want and host it. Again, email me, and I'll help you as much as I can. Its fun once you get the hang of it, as you can see on my profile ... I've become a picture *****! Marlize

Marlize, You look fantastic girl. Keep up the good work. What kind of excersizing are you doing at the gym? Hugs, Cheri
