DOUBLE POST- Stolen before and afters and update!
Hey Everyone!
I thought I would share this with you all. You got to love when a big online magazine with 18 million followers steals your before and after, cuts your watermark off it and posts it to their facebook wall. 402,000 likes?!?! My facebook is flooded with hundreds of friends requests and emails from 120 girls asking me how to lose weight. WTF!!!! LOL!

Here is an updated photo from last month of my partner Lesa and I. Lesa had gastric bypass 9 years ago and has maintained her 130 lb weight loss! I had gastric bypass in 2011 and have lost 171 lbs!! On the left I was around 305-311lbs and on the right I weigh 140 lbs.

I don't know how they can do that and get away with it, but I can see why they would want to steal your transformation photo...stunning!
You and your partner are adorable together. So glad you have someone who has been through the wl process so you can support one another.

CHA-CHING!
I'm a photographer and removing or altering a watermark on a photo is copyright infringement! i.e. you can sue the pants off of them!
Using the photos without permission is something you can sue over as is removing the watermark!
With cases like this, it's pretty much a slam dunk. They can't use your photos in any way, shape or form, regardless of where you post it without your permission.
Contact an intellectual property attorney ASAP!
..and this is one of the most important reasons people should not post pictures of their children online. They are NEVER safe.
But still, I do understand why you are uncomfortable about it. I would be livid.
And you both look amazing and happy! :)
