I posted my 1 yr(4/10/14) pic

on my profile...If you want to, pls look at it...it has day of surg, 6mos and my 1 yr post op yesterday. Ive been hearing some negative comments lately in my real life and I have to admit its making me feel badly about myself.  Im still losing and plan to get to MY goal.  My surgeons was 197 but Im past that and plan on getting to mine.

Anyways, any comments are appreciated. Also, if anybody can post it here, id be greatful...it doesn't work for me.

Thank you all for a super year.

tia

you look beautiful!!!  way to go!!!  what an inspiration!!

I think you look great! I haven't had my surgery yet, I will start my 2 week liquid diet on Wednesday... I already have a few "negatives." I refuse to let them deter me, though. I do have a question for you, if you don't mind. I noticed your ink. I guess I didn't think about this, but do you notice any change in the appearance since you lost the weight?

I have 3 small tattoos.  One on my arm, one on my breast and one on my back and I haven't seen a change in the appearance of them since I lost weight.

Thank you! 

I Haven't had my surgery yet-hopefully in june or july but I really hope I look as great as u do in a year!!! I bet u feel great also??

I'm sure the negative comments can not be about your weight loss, you've done wonderfully... congrats

And for whatever the comments are about, just ignore them.. works wonders

You look fabulous Tia! I also have a personal goal below my surgeon's. Keep up the good work. 

You have a beautiful smile!  Congratulations on your success.  

I think you look good.  I was studying your pics, trying to see what would make the people in real life make negative comments, and the only thing I noticed was your face has gotten really thin compared to how you were before.  Maybe they're noticing that, since we tend to focus on each other's faces?  I've seen several people on here mention that they went through phases where they looked gaunt, but then fat redistributed and they looked better later.
