Uber Vets and Almost Vets-Let's Share Pics for the Newbies

INgirl-I ADORE that costume..and I love what you said in your "opening statement..true words to live by !

Happy to join the parade!

Bette, you are my inspiration! I have seen your progression photo now 3 times today and after all "negative" stories I read, I still want the band just by looking at your photos! I will now bookmark your blog and add you on my Facebook to read your story.

BETTE-you never cease to amaze me..I LOVE looking at your pics....

Oh..btw...I've decided on my 2013 "word for the year"..that does NOT mean you HAVE to get a new tat..but..if you WANNA...

I'll be posting it early next week, I think..

I don't know. I got a BUNCH of ink last year!

BETTE-you don't have enough body LEFT for all those tats-you must renting space on someone's else's body !

Oh, I have plenty of space left! Plentiful, saggy space!

The before pic is a month after surgery and the after is 7 years later taken over the summer after a dip in my pool.

HEIDI--I soooo appreciate you sharing your pics..I know you hesitated, because of the whole "sharing" thing..but you, my dear, have NOTHING to HIDE..(well..maybe that prom dress pic..lol)

You RAWK, and inspire as much as anyone I know..and I know ALOT of peeps !!!

Wow. Doing this made me go look at old before pics and realize I haven't really taken an "after" pic in over a year.

Before (280ish?):

When I declared goal (Nov 2011, about 150-155)

and the obligatory pants photo (it's really poor quality and I look like heck cuz I was in the midst of packing up my apt!)
