Thanks lisal, That means the world to me comming from you. I am so dedicated to this. I have the best teachers you, mammamichele, Dawnie, WillT, and all the others here on the forum that have taken this journey before me. I so am a much happier person. And Im glad it shows that way all the newbies can see that this is not one of those quick fix me ups, this is for real and it works, we make it work. again thanks a lots of love for all the people that have inspired me...

Love the pics, You are my hero... I love both dresses, you look amazing.

Girl you are Hot Hot Hot. Great progress. I cant wait to be in that size 16. By the way here comes a happy dance.

Good luck with youre pre-op and youre surgery JoanneB

Girl call 911, because somebody stole Cathy from us and replace her with a SUPER MODEL. OMG what a great transfomation. I am so proud to be youre friend. Doing that happy dance for you.

Thanks girls, I have been blessed to have all of you as my friends. Dawnie I have missed you so much, how have you been doing, you need to keep us posted.

Well look at you Celia, you're in onederland. You need to post some pictures girl. Doing the happy dance for you.

From one Denise to another, you are in our club. When I show my OCC id they do take a double take. It's just awesome to see the peoples reaction when they say "this was you" and I say "yes it was".

Thanks Shelby, Good luck on you're journey, here's seeing you on our side.

I know, I just keep looking at the picture over and over. Thanks Evette I have followed you from the start and you have been my guide thru all of this, If I would have ever had a daugther I would have loved for it to be you.

Thank you everyone, this has been so amazing. If I didn take the pictures I wouldnt belive it myself. All My clothes are very loose, I still wear a pair of my size 22 just as a reminder, that way I know not to cheat and keep focussed on the big prize. A new me, because the old one is gone......For all the newbies if I can do it let me tell you anyone can do it. I am so looking foward to seeing all the newbies progress, so keep us posted.

WTG I am so happy for you and hubby. This a great journey you guys are going thru toghether.

I'm right there with Jann, there is nothing you need to worrie about. They are cleaner that the hospitals here in the states too. Much cleaner and even the nurses are more caring than here in the states. I LOVE THE OCC........

Congrats, You are going to be so happy with youre desicion.

Thanks Karen, I am real happy. Love the pic of you and the baby, so adorable.

I know, I saw Jann's picture and it gave me the strenght to take them. Let me tell you I feel at least 10 years yonger.....

OMG can you believe it, I am so happy today. I will never go back to that other person. I can do more things now. I walk everywhere and I was given the ok to start water exersices. I know you told me, but in a million years I would have never thought I could do it. Thanks , I'm happy for you too. Tell hubby that thats the same thing my husband has been telling me. Hes been on nigths working and got home at 4 this morning and wanted to play. He also said I have to get ride of all the old clothes and my granny night gowns. This is like been born again. I LOVE MY BAND....... And the Eye brows I get them done, Ever since my cataract eye surgery I cant see up close so I let my stylelist do them...

Thanks lisamarie00, Have you had youre surgery yet, Let us know when it will be.

Thanks Mindy, I used te same shirt to see If I could see a difference, I guess we can. Im so in cloud 9 right now. But I still thin my stomach can shrink a little more, so I started at the YMCA yesterday to do water exercises. Hope that works, that way maybe I wont need a tummy tuck. I'm my dreams right Ha ha.

Thanks, I do feel different. At times its like a dream and I have to make sure Im awake. And look at you WOW what a journey its been and those numbers. You must be so happy.

As promised here are my before and after pics, as of 10/10/2008. Its been 4 months since my surgery and 50 lbs. BEFORE AFTER

Girl look at you, you look so happy. Glad to see you got it working.

I had mine done on June 10th, But congrats on you desicion and keep us posted. Time will fly. And you will soon be on our side.
