I was just thinking it will be a good and bad thing that where I am moving no one will know the fat me (except the family of course).  In a away it will be nice being around people that never knew I was fat.  But like you said it's also nice to get that continuing encouragement from everyone.

I'm always up for some before and after pics! So inspiring! I hope more people post!

You look great! I think you look nice and toned in your new pic. The exercise is clearly paying off! (I should go to the gym!)  

Frankly, you look very uncomfortable in your before picture and so much more free in your after picture. Now that's worthy of some fireworks! You are doing great! Hang in there.

Here are a before and after for me:

A bloated 344 pounds, BMI of 55.5, a few days before my DS:



Me at about 150 pounds and three years out from my DS:

I had the kick-butt duodenal switch (DS)!

HW: 344 lbs      CW: 150 lbs

Type 2 diabetes and sleep apnea GONE!
