I can't believe it's been six months already. This is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I have lost almost 50 lbs (most of it just from my friggin be-hind! I think). I finally had to get a cushion to use on the hard chairs at work. (never noticed how hard they were before...)

Six months ago, I was wearing size 22-24. I'm now wearing 18's and even fit into a size 16 dress this week. My blood sugar level is now NORMAL (Goodbye Diabetes!) and I have so much more energy. I gotta tell ya...I LOVE the extra attention from my DH. Last sunday, we must've spent the whole day in bed. (blush). He just took some pictures for me to post here. (No...no naughty pics heh heh)

Thanks for all your support!






And was such a pretty day so we went outside to take this one:

 Jolena, your bathing suit pics disappeared!  I swear, that happens every time I try to put a pic on the forum.  It shows up one minute, and disappears the next.

But, I did see 'em before they disappeared, and I gotta tell you I would have thought that was more like 100 lbs, than 50!  Quite a drastic change!  

Glad you (and hubs!) are having a great time enjoying the benefits of weight loss.  Keep up the good work!

LOL..Thats because I've been trying to edit the pics for the past 20 minutes!  The comparison photo I made from fotoflexer.com was not fitting right so I reloaded the pics! THANKS!!

 They're baaack!  Seriously, if you can figure out how you managed to lose 50 lbs. off your butt without sparing an ounce from your boobs, you could make a fortune!

Shirt tucked in AND a belt?  Wow!  I'm still chicken to try a belt afraid that it won't go around me!  You look awesome Jolena!  I so appreciate your contributions to this forum.  You have a great attitude and I'm certain that's why you're such a winner!

Congratulations on your awesome results!

aww thanks Lisa. Yup..today was the FIRST day in a loooong time that I dared to be belted and tucked in!  I was feeling fat until I saw the difference in the swimsuuit photos.  Thats why I take these pictures because it's the only way I believe it myself.

You look great.  I can't wait to get my band.  I hope I lose as much as you did in the first 6 months.  Good job.
