It's been 6 months on the 17th of this month. It's been the best, craziest ride I've ever been on. So many new things!

My mother looks at me like I'm an alien now. In a good way...she's in awe of how differently I eat, act, carry myself. Last month I even joined the YMCA and *gasp* I like it. WHO AM I?

Anyway, I've lost about 62lbs depending on what day it is. It also depends on what day it is if I'm under 200 or not....my scale and I are in a fight. Fickle thing. So here is a picture comparison i did from my heaviest at almost 295, then about 260ish (this is what I weighed when I had surgery), and about a month ago at about 205:

I had no idea until I could see it side by side. I mean I knew I had lost weight, but wow. I actually have cheekbones and facial features now.
