New Photos

I posted today on the main boards that I am down 50 pounds and 27 inches in just 8 weeks so I went ahead and posted some new pics today. There is a front and side preop and also front and side taken tonight. Please let me know what you think.

Your new pics really show your 50 pound loss. 50 pounds in 8 weeks is awesome!! Julia

Thanks, Julia. I cannot really see it as clearly in the pictures as I do looking in the mirror. Go figure! LOL

Kim, I just looked at your pictures and WOW! That is tremendous progress in just 8 weeks! You must be so proud ... you deserve to be! You look wonderful! Congratulations! Deanna

Awww, you are too sweet, Deanna. Thanks.

Oh you look so pretty and so happy! You can really see a difference. Congratulations! Linda

Thanks, Linda. It is amazing what losing 50 pounds will do to your self esteem!!

Kim you look great! Can YOU see it? People tell me all the time they can see my wieght loss but I cant really... just wondering! See you saturday! Tara

Hey there Tara, I am so glad that YES I can see it! I think it is because I started out sooo big. I was 357 pounds when I came home from the hospital, so 50 pounds really shows on me. I can see it in my face and waist -- especially when putting on clothes that were too small before. I have jammies that I couldn't wear before and even some pants and they now fit ... some of my "skinny clothes" are getting too small already. I look forward to seeing everyone on Saturday too! It should be much fun. I went in today and got my nails done so I wouldn't have to rush out on Saturday for my nail appt at 9. LOL

Im looking foward to it too!!! By the way... love your new avatar!!! So sweet!
