Woo hoo Julie! You look fantastic...and you need a new smaller shirt, your tiny body is SWIMMING in that old shirt.

-8lbs lost during the 6 month insurance hoop jumping,
the rest is since surgery.

Thank you everyone for your kind words! I am so pleased with my progress, it's feels like aging backwards. :)

About the shirt - my original thought was to take a monthly picture in the same shirt for comparison (and this just happened to be a shirt where I had a good pre-op picture). But now it has gotten so big, it's hard to really see the weight loss!

I take swimsuit pictures, too (UGH!!) so I can get a better idea of the changes. But should I scrap this big ole shirt and just do monthly pictures in something nice? The brown shirt is so big, the only time I wear it is for pictures.

Seriously - as soon as my clothes get to where I'm feeling frumpy - I take 'em to Goodwill! I'm not losing all this weight to feel dumpy/frumpy. Fortunately, I have had a couple friends pass clothes to me, so I haven't had to buy too much.

What do you all do for before/during pictures? Same clothes? Size appropriate clothes?

 You look great!! What a difference! You should definitely take a pic with a shirt that shows your figure!! But we can definitely tell there is a difference under there!! Keep up the good work!
