This time last year... (pics)

 This Sunday is my husband and my first wedding anniversary. This time last year I was 80 pounds heavier. Last week we went to Las Vegas to celebrate. Around the same time last year I was also there for my bachelorette party. I love looking at the progress I've made but I'm also appalled at how big I let myself get. I can't WAIT until I reach my goal weight and can take new wedding photos.

65 pounds down from my surgery 3.5 months ago, 60 more to go. It's been an amazing journey so far and I feel AWESOME! I can't believe all the things I'm able to do now that I couldn't do just a few months ago.

Oh, and....OMG! I have a collar bone now!

 you look amazing congrats girl!!!

Wow, girl!! Major difference!!  Keep up the great work!!  Your hubby must be so proud of you!!  You look amazing!!  -Holly

You look fabulous!  Great pics.  Your doing wonderful!

 Thanks! It might sound silly but sometimes I can't believe my husband every wanted to be with me when I was that big. It's still hard for me not to be down on myself because of my body image. Even when I've lost so much weight.

Hell, at my wedding I was wearing a steel boned corset that took 13 inches off my waist and  I STILL looked like a beached whale in that picture. =/

You look fantastic!!! And I LOVE that blue shirt! I can't wait till I can wear something like that in public! Great job!

 I got the blue shirt at Ross for $7 on sale. I definitely recommend those kind of bargain stores for buying clothes as you start to lose weight. I have some GREAT finds!

 You look great! Do you mind if I ask where you got your blouse? 

 If you're talking about the blue one I got it at Ross. Cost me a whopping $7. :) I lovelovelove Ross, TJ Maxx, and Marshell's! Keeps me in clothes that don't fall off my butt without breaking the bank.

You look great! Were always going to beat ourselves up for how we USED to look but we made a good decision for the better and there's no looking bac****ep up the good work at being a loser!
