What difference a year makes.

Today at work someone brought up my old wedding pictures and pointed out that I look like a different person. It really made me stop and look at myself and I thought perhaps sharing with everyone here might help motivate others. This is exactly 1 year between pics.  This was June 23, 2007 at our wedding, I was 331lbs This is this past Monday (June 23,2008) Exactly 1 year later.  I'm 7 1/2 months post op and at 179 lbs and still losing.  If you want better looks at the pics, they are posted in my profile as well, but I thought I'd share here and also say THANK YOU! This board  is a HUGE support for me and I love you all so much! 

Angela you do look like a different person.  Congrats on all of your success.

Congrats Angela....terriffic work!!

You are completely amazing!

I'm gonna check to see if you downloaded the picture Guy took of you last night!

You looked absolutely stunning at the meeting last night!

You're right about this board too!

I don't know where I would be without everyone here. Prior to meeting you all, I was isolated and a hermit in my home.

Now, I'm free!  

I love you so much!
