I know one of my friends told me that my face would age from the weight loss! Guess again....I have never looked better(but then again I do moisturize lol)

I was not a fast loser but who cares as long as you get there! I know the newbies check the trackers and the signatures so although I kind of lost track of how the rest of the weight came off, you should know that it was not fast and furious but it was slow and steady!

current BMI 24.7 that, my friends, is NORMAL!!! Strong is the new pretty!

I've never been one to wear makeup or moisturize but with a new lease on life I may just start.

I've walked past a mirror and caught a glimpse of myself and wondered who that person was! I don't even recognize myself anymore.

I caught myself looking at my hands today. I've always had short stumpy fat fingers. Today I realized they were long and somewhat elegant. OMG!

I can wrap my fingers around my wrists. Not a big deal but I never knew my wrists were fat too!

I took passport pictures pre-op but never got around to sending the application.

So I paid again to get new picture because even after 4 months, there's a huge difference in my face!

I sit in court a lot for work and I now am fidgeting all the time because the seats are soooo uncomfortable. I have no bum cushion anymore. But ... I can cross my legs now!

I love when I'm in bed rubbing my hands on my legs because I just feel the bones - not the fat. It's a really good feeling.

I love these stories! My bum is always sore now on uncomfortable seats... so I can relate to that

The wierdest thing for me is looking in the mirror and seeing my collarbone - Its been years and years and years since I have seen it. I don't recognize myself in the mirror sometimes
