Nine months and 75 lbs. (Pics)

I decided to finally be brave and post some progress pictures. I'm 75 lbs. down from my surgery weight of 236, weighing in at 161. The first photo is me the night before surgery (with no make-up on and just before going to bed--scary stuff!). The second is me at 9 months post-op in Vegas. The third is one of the few close up photos I could find of me before surgery and the last is a close up of me at 8.5 months post surgery. It doesn't really hit home to me how much I've lost nor how large I was until I compare these photos side by side. I'm still a work in progress and would like to lose 25 more lbs. The weight is coming off slowly, and if I never lost another pound, I'd be okay, but I think I'll at least get to 150 by my one year surgiversary.

You look fabulous! Congrats, you are doing well!

“Not many of us are living at our best. We linger in the lowlands because we are afraid to climb the mountains. The steepness and ruggedness dismay us, and so we stay in the misty valleys and do not learn the mystery of the hills. We do not know what we lose in our self indulgence. What glory awaits us if only we had the courage for the mountain climb. What blessing we should find if only we would move to the uplands of God.? JRM
