6 months out yesterday (picture)

That's pretty cool!  I'd like to have the same body type as my mom, hourglass and a cute bubble butt - I favor her in my face but not as much in the body.  For one thing I'm 8 inches shorter, and I'm also stockier in general.  My dad is 5'5" and kind of a wall - he's built like a bulldog.  I hope hope hope that I'm sort of petite under the rolls, but I kind of doubt it.  Everyone who knows us both keeps telling me how much I look like my mom now, and she commented on it in the last group of pictures I sent her too.  I inherited a bunch of old pictures (to scrapbook), and some feature bombshell teenage-version of mom laying around in bikini's at the pool and on the beach - and she looks like a 50's pinup.  Why didn't I get to spend my teens looking like that too??? Not fair!

She does look like the cute daughter of the before picture, doesn't she?

You go, Jen!
 

Hehe thanks :)  I think I look old and tired lately so this is nice to hear.  I always have bags under my eyes and when these pictures were taken I was literally about to fall over with sleep, even after two lattes.  I thought I looked pretty bad but didn't want to wait another day to take more. 

Congrats Jennifer!  You look marvelous!

So do you.  Thanks :)

Great Job Jen.  I can see those womanly curves appearing. Your looking better and better all the time. Thanks for uploading the pics. It inspires me to keep going!!!!  Tommi

There is sort of almost a waist happening somewhere in my midsection now.  The weirdest thing is feeling my hip bones.  I had to ask my husband if that's what they were LOL (and I've taught anatomy!) Thanks for the comment, and I hope to see some before and afters from you and everyone else on the boards!  :)

You look amazing, Jen - what a difference 128 pounds makes, eh?  Keep up the great work!  And pay no never mind to that darn weight loss predictor - it's not helpful for those of us that start out with so much to lose.  Plus we all lose at different rates anyway!   You're doing a great job and I'm glad to share your journey -  Kellie

Thanks Kellie, I don't pay any mind to it now, but at first I really expected my loss to at least sort of follow what it showed.  Not even close.  I was a little slower than some people on my surgery month board, but now I've lost more than most of them since surgery.  If only I were already at goal like some of them!!

HEY JEN,         MAN WHAT A DIFFERENCE SIX MONTHS CAN MAKE HUH>? I TELL YA TO, LOOK HOW MUCH YOUNGER YA LOOK WITH THE WEIGHT SHEDDING... AND YOU GOT THEM THERE NICE GIRLY FIGURE BREEDING HIPS AS THEY SAY DOWN HERE LOL....YOU LOOK JUST AMAZING.... AND YOU KNOW I HAVE TO MENTION YOUR EYES THAT I LOVE.... KEEP IT UP AND HAPPY SIX MONTHS OUT SWEETIE!! HUGS MARGE
