Can we start a before and now thread of photos?

Better late than never....here are mine!

You know, I think this is the first time I have seen your before pictures, Martha!   If we were doing a before and after matching game, I don't think I ever would have put your two photos together! Other than your smile, your face -- even your eyes -- look completely different.

That's funny that you haven't seen them before, I post the fairly often remembering all the hours and hours I spent looking for them pre-surgery. I never thought that I would get to where I am!! I still startle myself when I look at the befores....yikes!

PS- I am glad your surgery was uneventfull and you are back home with Gus.

Everyone looks amazing.  I still love seeing everyone's before, during and after pics!  I remember looking at so many before surgery and reading profiles until the wee hours of the morning thinking "can this really work".  It does and we all are proof it does.

Kudos to all!

I am so jealous of your skinny legs!!!  My legs NEVER looked like that, even in grade school.  :(

I can't get my pics to copy and paste for the life of me! These are the links to the pics on my profile page, sorry!

Everyone looks so great! Looking at before and after pictures is one of my favorite things to do. I feel so happy for all of us to have this chance to change our health, lives, and darn if we don't all look hot!

I amazed at how it makes us all look at least 10 yrs younger. I didn't realize how much the weight aged me until looking at my pics side by side.

OK I'll play!

Me at 157, vs. me at 340-ish.
