7 months out, 108 lbs gone, 6 sizes down...w/pics

I usually try to post my before/after pics every month on the day of my surgiversary... which is the first of every month, so here they are...





I have lost 108 pounds as of this past Monday (I only weigh on Mondays), I have gone from a 30/32 in top & bottom, to a 14/16 (or XL) top and 18 bottoms, as always my ass makes my bottom one size bigger than my top, but that's always been that way even when i was a 10 top 12 bottom...LOL...

I can't believe how far I've come in such a short time, and I'm not always good about my diet, so for anyone reading this who wants to do it but is afraid to fail... it's really very, very difficult to fail, because if I can do this (and I'm horrible about eating the "right" crap) ANYONE can do it...

I post these pics because not only do they help me see how much I've accomplished and how far I've come, but I hope that they will help someone out there, reading these posts, to have courage and hope for themselves too...

hugs,
Carmen

Can you believe how flat your tummy is getting?

And you lost your chipmunk cheeks!
I will look like I'm hoarding nuts for forever. I was born with them.

You look hot damnit!!!!

wow you look amazing!  I can't believe the difference.  We had the same starting weight.  I've lost 100lbs but I still think I look the same.   It's incredible how much you have changed.  Keep up the good work! 

You look great and in such a short time!  You are an inspiration.

Carmen:

You are such a beautiful person. . both inside and out!  Your posts did give me hope as a pre-op chic and I'll look forward to your next update in February.

Keep up the good work!

Meeeeeoooooow!!!!!! 

You look SO fabulous!!!! And you have such a great shape already - it's like magic!
To be totally honest - you look like a completely different person.  I wouldn't recognize you as the same person if your pics weren't side by side.  And you look 20 years younger.  The difference is nothing short of stunning.  Absolutely stunning....

Congratulations - you SO deserve this!!!!!!

You look just great Carmen...good job my friend!
