It's much weirder in person-- this is the good angle. The best thing I got out of the pics is that whether ot feels like it or not, the heinous pannus IS getting smaller, thank Jeebis...just not quickly. I still can't pack my arms and chest into the size my torso wears...it's a drag, but I'll keep on. Thanks!

Note to self ------- Must check Shari's pictures when I get home, because internet browser at work blocks non-sense like personal pages. They just have no idea about OH! Back to Shari, I'm sure you look great. Can't wait to see the new pics.

No, there's just less blubber on me, so they can hang straight down at my sides. I'm a natural redhead-- so the tan is really the aftermath of several sunburns, and all my freckles conglomerating. ;) I swim outside about twice a week.

A place I used to work had a stupid dress code.... all skirts must not be shorter than the fingertips.. the really skinny girls did fine with this... but the size 18's and 20's and more didnt realize that their fingertips were considerably higer - sometimes obscenely so! LOL

NEWSFLASH: Shari has a neck!!! whoooooo hooooooooooooo You look totally awesome!!!!! You should be so proud of yourself. Next time smile dammit.

And yes you do have huge knockers. My god woman!!! LOL Okay, I have to ask you. I know you did this for your health but I have to ask whether or not you are enjoying the physical changes. No, don't tell me that you are smaller and saggier, I'm serious here!!!!

In a word? No. I don't look "better." I just look different. I don't have that "smaller is better" thing in my aesthetics book, so I don't see it that way. It's harder to buy clothes that fit now. The arms and legs are wrinkly and saggier than they appear in pics. I do like having a neck, however. Long and short of it is that it's good to have visual clues that something is happening, but I can't say I look better-- just...shifted. Glad others enjoy it, though. These are pictures for my surgeon's file-- I don't want to smile in medical photos, ya goof. I'll smile in others, another time tho!

I see a difference everywhere. When a person sees you a daily basis they don't notice as much, but in the pictures it is clearly evident and such an inspiration of the hard work you have done. Even though you are not smiling, you still look happier in the new picture. Keep posting here all of you are helping me.
