You look great!

It will hurt. It will take time. It will require dedication. It will require willpower. It requires sacrifice. There will be temptation. But, I promise you, when you reach your goal, it's WORTH IT! (Author Unknown). I feel this sums up my ongoing journey to a healthier me!

Nik, I think you look FABULOUS!!!!

Which is why I can't wrap my head around the fact that we way the same amount, but I don't think I look as good as you do at this weight. I know it's totally a mental thing too, but still...I think if I could look at myself and see your rockin body I'd be happier.

Numbers shmumbers, you look fantastic! I'm with the others, I think you look even BETTER at the 200 lb pic than the lower weight one! You look radiant, healthy, confident and happy....who cares what the scale says if you can look in the mirror and see that!

Good for you for getting past the whole numbers thing and letting go of your resentment.....that is all such a head game and some people just don't have the strength to get past that. . .you obviously do!

Meeeeeeowwwwwww : )

Kitteh, kitteh......you look HAWT (all the way around).

Your girls have an excellent, healthy role model in all areas of wellness not just weight and stuff.

I'm 145 pounds and the BMI charts tell me I'm overweight. Nice, huh? I used to say 'just stay under 140, Leslie"...now, it's 150 and I can do that pretty easily.

Go you!! : )

Be happy.

 Nik, I agree with the other posters you wear 200 lbs damn good

On another note: In your pre-op pic you look like your tipsy from sippying on the detergent your holding LOL

4 pages of replies so I am sure you don't need to hear it from me - but you look amazing, you carry yourself in an amazing way and you are an amazing inspiration. That's why you are my WLS hero
