The REAL me!!!

Check it out! A recent picture has been added! I no longer have to explain that the woman in the photo is not the woman replying to your post! Wow, there is an OH photo god. Thank you OH photo god. Karen 278/136

Thanks Jane. Wow is big! ...and Mom upside down. Today the Mom upside down thing is working for me. Karen

Amazing how much you have changed. Congratulations on a great wls journey.

Thanks Jane. As you know the journey is a long one filled with big hills and little hills and sloping paths and difficult terrain and grassy plains filled with sweet smelling wildflowers. My journey will continue through our lives...I am happy to be smelling the wildflowers within the grassy fields! Continued success to you, Karen

What a transformation. The pictures side by side look like two different people. Congratulations! You look great. I really need to get my before and after pictures on here. We had a big bash a couple weeks ago here in MS, and some of them said the only way we knew who you were is because your two friends have your picture on their profile. How sad is that? I have pictures, I just haven't taken the time to send them in. Busy! Busy! But I love seeing everyone's photos. It is inspiring. Melissa Lap Rny 1/15/04 277/136

Thanks Melissa. I think as formerly MO we are not in the habit of getting in front of the camera, unless of course if only standing at a side view, or behind a big chair or person! Get your pictures up and working...you will feel so much better and we will all be awed by your incredible success! Karen

Wow Karen! You are beautiful. Glad no I will really be able to see who I am "talking" to.

I want to correct that to read NOW-not no. I suppose that is why they allow us to preview our posts

Thanks Lynda! I am so glad not to have to include the disclaimer "no, you are not talking to the fat chic in the picture...I actually have had WLS and am not just making guesses based on what my MD told me." Glad to be among the veterans with proper ID to prove it. Karen

You're funny! I needed the laugh! Thanks! And I'm sure you are twice the person you used to be! I know I am! ~Vanessa~
