Hey Everyone!

I thought I would share this with you all. You got to love when a big online magazine with 18 million followers steals your before and after, cuts your watermark off it and posts it to their facebook wall. 402,000 likes?!?! My facebook is flooded with hundreds of friends requests and emails from 120 girls asking me how to lose weight. WTF!!!! LOL!

Here is an updated photo from last month of my partner Lesa and I. Lesa had gastric bypass 9 years ago and has maintained her 130 lb weight loss! I had gastric bypass in 2011 and have lost 171 lbs!! On the left I was around 305-311lbs and on the right I weigh 140 lbs.

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

Well first of all, you look AMAZING!!! Secondly, how funny/annoying is that? I'm glad to see the surgery worked so successfully for you though!!

You look great. Congrats on your journey.

I think that would suck to have your pics stolen! But, I suppose having 402,000 likes would feel pretty good as well!

Weird question....but is it legal to use the photos without your permission?

Great photos by the way but I think I would be really angry and get legal advice that someone published them without permission!

Friendly second view: I would not want the stress of anger and using valuable time it would take to seek legal advice--- which a lot of times ends up padding wallets other than your own. If you do seek compensation, here's hoping being freed-from-obesity gives you new-found strength and power to do so.

That's messed up that your pics would get used elsewhere but on the other hand if this motivates other people to lose weight---it's a win. I just don't like the stealing part.

now....that aside..YOU ARE A STUNNER! You are beautiful in all your pics but now you look happier and wow!

Happiness to you and your adorable partner!
