Latest pic on profile

At the very bottom of my profile I changed my before pic and added a new after pic. DH took the new pic yesterday with the camera I got him for his birthday. My father-in-law said I'd have to stand in the same spot twice to make my shadow. I'm still 16 lbs from surgeon's goal, 29 lbs from mine. Of course, I've fallen off the wagon the past 3 days and am scared I'm ruining all that I've worked so hard for. I've let stress get to me, and I have to crack down and take back control.

Beautiful! You look so good! I love the tat on your back... I have one in the exact same spot that I HATE! I want to get it covered up after I get to goal. You should be proud of yourself for your progress. You look GREAT! Lori 281/198/140 58lbs to goal!

You know what's funny about that Lori? THAT tattoo IS a cover up! Seriously! It's covering a horrendous tat that was a mess from the second the dude laid ink to skin. Looked like a 3 year old had done it. My DH knew how much it bothered me, and took me to get it covered up a month before our wedding. Thanks for the compliments!

Yeah mine is a mess too! It was obviously done by an amateur at home with a homemade gun. I am sorry I ever let him touch me. My husband had one done on his upper arm by this guy too. It was horrible... a wolf with what I call "turd" toes. Like a cartoon. My father in law is a tattoo fanatic so he took my hubby in and had it covered. But mine is still as ugly as ever! Yours is gorgeous! The one I have is a rose with a banner going through it... I want it covered up with better roses and vines. About the same size as yours. I also want to get a lower back tat of a butterfly with some flowering vines. That will have to wait until I get to goal. It will be my present to myself! Lori

You look Beautiful..... Great Job... I think we all feel like we're falling off the wagon every now & again. Try writing things down for a couple days, you'll probably surprise yourself to see that you're not really eating as much as you think you are. Keep up the great work.... Tammy

I'll try that Tammy! Good idea! Thank you... Connie

Hey you look great! You lost so much in your face just like I did. Congrats on being so close to your goal!!

Mrs. G. You are a beauty!!! You look awesome! My son would love to go mud running with your husband, he loves that kinda thing! Stay Strong!!! Hippie 291/224/160

You look wonderful and so happy. BTW, I finally put up a recent pic of myself as well. Torrey

Hey Connie! You are looking so wonderful! I am so happy for you! .....I really need to update my pics on my profile. I have changed so much, and alot of people are telling me I don't look like the same person, and I can see it when I look back, but I still am me! I also love your tat...is it a fairy?? That is what is looks like. I have a beautiful white tiger face with a red rose under his face on my lower left hip...I can't show him off too much, he is my hidden puddy tat! I am afraid if I have to have a tummy tuck it will ruin him and I do hate that, but don't hate the thoughts of losing the excess skin. I need to start coming over to this board more often, it is more happening and it is so nice to see how all of your same surgery month and year folks are doing. Take care and I will chat with you later! Nancy 320/205/170 (ultimate goal of mine 150) *almost in onederland*
