Pictures from last year and today
One year ago, my youngest son graduated from high school. Although I didn't like to have my picture taken, I wanted to have a picture of the two of us together on this special occasion. So today I asked him to help me do an "after" picture. What a difference! I'm over 100lbs lighter, more active, and my blood pressure is perfectly normal without medication. I wear a medium/12 now (and I have collarbones) - the pink top in the "before" was a 24. The necklace I have on in the "after" pic is one my older son and daughter-in-law gave me years ago, but I never wore it because it was too tight around my neck. Not anymore! I am so glad I did this!
Outstanding !!!!

Awesome! You look so pretty! Your son must be very proud of you
By the way I love your top . . . can I ask where you got it?
Finally, not to make your thread all about me but you and I have very similar stats and surgery dates. It's so interesting to see such a dramatic and lovely transformation on you because sometimes I have trouble seeing it on myself, which I know is a psychological thing and not a reality-based thing.
Wow. Thanks for posting this. You look fabulous. What a difference! You should be so proud of yourself for your success. great job!
