The dresses I wore in these pics, were size 12 !!! yEEHAW!!! Tanya 358/196/185 5'6"

WOW!! Hey girl, you look HOT!!!!!! You are so beautiful!! Congrats on the great success. I see we are WLS twins!! I had my surgery on the same day,,,and I am wearing size 12 too,, for the first time ever, and Im 59 years old!! Isnt it just almost unbelievable? I bet your daughter is so proud of you!! You both look so pretty in your pictures. Have a great day! Thanks for posting your pics. You are an inspiration! Betsy

YES!!! It's just amazing, although she is conscious now, cause I actually wear a smaller shirt than she does due to my smaller waist... but she wears WAY smaller pants... LOL!!!! Her friends say that I am her younger aunt not her MOM... I dont have a sister ... LOL!!! It's the clothes... feeling younger, looking younger.. I just turned 41... feel like a Million bucks!! Just got back from Six Flaggs yesterday.. second time in 2 weeks, and rode EVERYTHING!!! Pretty COOL!!

Tanya, Very glam!! You look fantastic!! I know about the whole obese thing: I am still struggling with BMI of 1.9 points until normal at 160 pounds at 5'5".... But remember where you were in Sept of 2005 and how far you have come( I say that to myself all the time) A size 12 is so great. Fantastic pics. Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing. Hugs, Jacqueline

Hi Tanya, You look amazing ! You know what happens when people look at pics before being fully awake? they think WOW they have the exact same skirt on...lol, then I looked again and realized it was a pair of shorts...hehe Now about being STILL obese..Did you factor in the 20% change that most surgons say to count as bone mass due to being obese in the first place? At 185-20% would put you at 148 adjusted weight witch makes your BMI 23.8 very well in the normal range. Okay now that I made your day and givin you an all day smile I'll be on my way. Hugs, Shel

I hadn't heard of this before. Are there websites that talk about it?

COOLLL!!!!! I didn't think it was that much.... It just bothered me that everyone thought I'd get to 150 or something.... I wouldn't have any fat on me.... I'm 31% fat now, which is acceptable...

WOW, you look fantastic...SEXY!!! Put a new head shot up. That one is outdated already! Your face is much thinner now. Keep up the good work! Paula

Tanya, you have got to change your posting picture!! That does not even begin to show how you look now that you are minus so much weight!! You look fantastic!! It was hard for me to tell who was the mom and who was the daughter!! Keep up the good work!! love donna

thanks... It's SO FUN going places now...especially with her... and she's not embarassed or feeling sorry for me.. We've beeen to Six flags TWICE in the past 2 weeks...!!!
