I know everyone loves before and after pictures. They were my biggest inspiration before surgery. I would spend hours on end looking at everyones photos hoping I would have my own before and after's someday. I hope I can inspire all the beginners out there.

I am down 124lbs from my heaviest and exactly 100lbs since surgery in June!

[Starting Weight: 311] [Surgery Weight: 287] [Current Weight: 141 [Goal Weight: 150] 9 lbs BELOW goal! Yay!

gorgeous before and even more gorgeous now...I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOve your hair especially in the before photo ( I can see more of the style) very, very becoming. You obviously have/had style. That is something I am tying to learn.

Thank you for the comment. I honestly do not have style. I walk into a store and do not have a clue how to coordinate clothes. If the salesperson can't help me, I am lost. If it is on a mannequin I can copy it.

I have 3 daughters, and we never, ever shopped because MOM hated the thought of undressing and standing in front of those huge mirrors...let alone finding things that looked nice on me. I feel so badly about it because my middle daughter told me about a year ago that she has no style and no idea how to dress. I honestly feel I caused that.

Some women just know how to dress...they have great style. I used to think it could be a learned trait, but now I'm not so sure. I'm lost in a store. I have an event to attend next week, and I am already stressing about buying something to wear to it. I'm a jeans and flannel shirt girl...that I can do.
