3 months out and feeling great!
Today's my 3 months out anniversary. I'm down 86.8 lbs total, 50.8 since surgery. I've lost 42.75 inches and went from a BMI of 57.8 (super obese) to 44.6 (morbidly obese). Still have a lot to go, but I'm feeling GREAT. I know this is the honeymoon time, but I plan to enjoy every minute of it that I can LOL. I'm keeping up a personal blog that I'm happy to share with folks, but since it's protected, drop me a line at [email protected] and I'll get you added.
Anyway, some pics... most days I look in the mirror and don't see a difference. I take pics to help me see things ARE changing. :)

wow hun you look fantastic.. what a change and what an accomplishment. You are doing great..
I just answered a reply you made on my thread about the 3 month change of appointments.. I was doing it from my email and just now entered OH.. I guess I got my questions answered.. along with photos.. lol...
You should really be so proud of what you have accomplished.. you look like a totally different person.. that is a lot of weight lost in 3 months.. I am so happy for you... I am taking pictures too.. I can not see the loss in the mirror either.. I still see myself 94 lbs ago.. I have to look at the pictures to see the difference.. but I cant see as much of a difference as I see in you.. WAY TO GO.. love the hair color change too.. it really makes your face pop... I see you have put makeup on for the picture.. I am doing the same thng.. I did not wear makeup before even when going out unless it was a special occasion like my daughters wedding.. I think I just figured why bother, like putting lipstick on a pig.. as they say.. lol... but now I feel so much better that I really want to look as good as I feel...
keep up the good work..
huggs..

Thank you all for the sweet compliments! It's so nice to be on this journey with others.
Teresa, I've always been a big fan of makeup, big and small(er). My "before" pic was taken after doing a water workout, so that's probably why I didn't have any on. What's interesting is that I go out without makeup more now than I did at my highest weight. I felt like if I had makeup before, no one could accuse me of being sloppy. Ah, the things we tell ourselves :)
