X-Post: Shameless Photo Whoring and my goal gift to myself!

I don't post much recently - have been very busy with work and school, although I read posts in this group almost daily.

My VSG was 22 months ago, and I reached my goal at about 18 months. Maintaining has been pretty easy, especially now that I have started working with a trainer again. I have been building a fair bit of muscle mass, which makes it possible for me to be a bit more indulgent with my food .

I have reduced my body fat percentage from 34% in June to 28% now - which is pretty respectable for a 46 year old woman with no aspirations to performance athletics!

As a gift to myself for reaching goal, I had a set of photos taken - nothing too raunchy, just boudoir-ish - and I LOVE them (and hope hubby will too when he gets an album this Christmas). Other than the sagginess of my ass and the extra skin around my neck, I am really thrilled with my slimmer body - and I feel really, really fantastic, with lots of energy.

Here are the photos...

wow you look amazing congrats on your success

All I have to say is that your Hubby is a lucky Man

I'd say hubby will love them. You do look amazing.
Congratulations.

You look fabulous and your smile says that you feel it too!  Good for you...you deserve it!  What a great gift for you hubby..and you!  I have always loved reading your posts and miss them..so it was great to see your name again!

Happy Holidays!
