Just having one of those nights where it seems that everything is going right and decided to share! I dont post that often but I read almost daily and trust me, I have the same highs and lows as everyone else! Nothing really happened that was extraordinary today...just have an overwhelming sense of accomplisment - with school, family, and just with me as a whole! 8 months ago I would have never seen myself in such a positive light! It's a damn good feeling that I hope sticks around for a long long time!
As far as weight loss progress I am down about 135 lbs since my surgery a little over 7.5 months ago. I am about 35-45 lbs from goal and for once in my adult life, there is no doubt that I will hit it! Here is my before pic and one I took a couple of weeks ago (horrible quality but its all I have).

I'm posting from my Mac instead of PC and no matter what I try it wont put the pics up...hopefully the address will work instead!
Everyone have a great night!
Jackie

Thanks! I have to laugh because my hair is almost always the thing people comment on since I have lost weight....while a lot of others went through losing hair, mine grows like crazy now! Weird!

Awww thanks I guess I just thought I would have lost more than I have by now but I guess it all takes time after all I did not gain it all over night.
