Ok, Here are mine.  (Yes, I stink at taking camera phone pics...)

Before:

Now (5.5 years out, down 190 pounds, after brachioplasty, panniculectomy, mons lift, and tummy tuck).  You can see that I naturally have a wide waist and that I still have two little spots of residual fat above my waist on both sides (because I did not want to pay extra for lipo when I paid for the tummy tuck):

The side view amazes me every single day.  I cannot remember EVER in my life having a really flat belly.

WOW!! You look fantastic  I don't think that I have ever seen a before picture of you. Good job with the pitcher and bowl hiding the never to be seen thighs.

LOL.  I thought you would like that!

My belly button, with the skin pulled down from the panni, looks weird... But I don't have the same rule about it as I do about the thighs!

OMH!!! 1218 views......all you have to say is barely dressed and photo and they can't stay away  I always said that if a peeping tom ever looked in my window he would deserve his eyeballs being burned from seeing that sight.

Your belly button looks fine to me!

You look wonderful!!!  I had a TT and I am still not brave enough to show myself on here!!  I never got as low as you and wish I had - oh well, I am still 100 below my highest weight and healthy, so I will be happy!!!   Thanks for sharing.

As long as you are happy and healthy that's what counts, right? I need to gain a good 10 pounds and am having a hard time doing it but I will get there!

Thanks, Martha

You WILL Scarlet! On top of that you will have the experience of the difficulties and coming through them as a vet that will be valuable as a member of this forum for those having a hard time in the beginning. Many of us who are here now as vets don't have that.

How are you doing now?
