 Congratulations! You are so beautiful, and what an awesome way to compare your graduations! 

Amazing transformation! I know you dont like your arms, but they aren't bad at all - i would never have guessed you had been obese before! You got some hot legs too!!

Congrats on graduating!!

You have worked so hard and achieved so much! You should be very, very proud!

And of course--you look mahvelous!

You look amazing and SO SO happy! Congratulations on all of your hard-earned accomplishments!

wow you look so good!!! Congrats on your many achievements!!!

 I think you look awesome! Arms and all! Also, I love the wedges in your last picture, so cute!

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS on GRADUATING COLLEGE!! Huge milestone!! I am 35 and just now finishing my bachelor's degree! LOL! I went to college for a year after H.S. and then got married and had kids. I kick myself in the butt every day that I didn't finish sooner! Better late than never, but BETTER when you are YOUNG! 

Second of all, you look AMAZING! Congrats on your weight loss! You are a shining example of a success story. You look healthy, trim, and glowing.

Keep that positive attitude and you will go so far! Good luck in your future endeavors after graduation and I hope you have a great life. Bet you are glad you did the sleeve surgery so young! Hats off to you!

Wow!  You look amazing -- you are a beautiful young lady!  Be proud of all your hard work.
Wishing you well,
Kathy

 Thanks everyone!  I am so excited to see where my new life takes me!
