I've never posted pictures before, but here goes nothing.  These are from December 2013 and December 2014.  I'm linking to my blog post since I don't want to post the pics directly to OH.

I love these.  I honestly don't know if I will ever be able to post any for myself when the time comes but I sure love other people's!  Such a happy vibe in the 2nd picture, you have done so well.  Congratulations.

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much!  I was thinking of waiting until my year surgiversary, but then I realized that I had pictures that were a year apart now, so I might as well :)

I love that you decided to share these! What a wonderful transformation you've made, and it's so nice to pair a face with your posts. You look so much more comfortable and happy in the more recent photo.

Thank you!  I'm actually bummed that I look so unhappy in the old picture.  I wonder why - I wasn't unhappy, I was getting ready for a concert!  I really have to work to smile in pictures in general, so I look silly a lot as a result! :D
