My profile photo has been updated; this photo shows me at a BMI of about 28; I started out at a BMI of 40, about a year ago. Also, you can see how thin my hair has gotten in this photo; I got it cut about a week ago and it looks much better, it camouflages the thinning very well. Thank goodness my hair is curly, that helps a lot. At my 6 month appointment, all indicators remain in the normal range: blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol. And no problems with iron, B12, etc; at this point, my nutrients are all adequate. I don't know exactly what my doctor's goal is for me, but my personal goal is just over 20 lbs away. But honestly, my real goal has already been achieved: I am healthy! Sheryl

OMG SHERYL!! I was looking at your posting picture and about ah*t my pants when I went to your profile. I had no idea who you were from your posting picture until I got to your profile. YOU LOOK GREAT!! MY GAOSH YOU LOOK GOOD!! Erin

Sheryl my goodness Sheryl. You look totally wonderful. I had no idea it was you till I went to your profile. You are doing so great. I am very proud of all of us!!! Hugs Mary

Mary, and Erin, it's funny you said you didn't recognize me! What you didn't recognize, my dears, was that I actually possess collarbones. Completely invisible in my prior photo, quite prominent now. And a jawline, I have a distinct jawline now. It's funny - the photos both show me in brown shirts, that was totally unintentional, but it makes it very easy to compare the photos together. What you can't see in my "old" photo was that most of my hair was tucked back in a knot, just tendrils hanging down in front. The new photo...that's all the hair there is. Mary, I agree with you, I am quite proud of all of us! Sheryl
