You look like a completely different person, maybe a much younger niece of the before lady.

When I lost almost all of my excess weight with the LapBand, I went through a divorce, for the same reasons. It was traumatic and scary, but really, a very good decision. Hope you stay happy and healthy!!

Wow - you look like a completely different person!!!!! You lost at least 15 years off your face too.

I must admit that I am totally jealous, though. I have to avoid soda like the plague and I have to workout at least 3-4 times per week for a weight loss that is a fraction of yours. You ROCK!!!! I guess my body want to be difficult.

You look fantastic and I loved reading your post. Thank you for coming back and updating us.

Just a little unsolicited advice, (and you know what free advice is worth), but my year 3-4 was harder than the previous years to maintain. You are dating now and are experiencing the highs of a new relationship, just be careful. I hope you take it the way I mean it, which is with care and concern based on my own experience, nothing personal about you in particular. Hugs to you, you have done an amazing job and should be congratulated a thousand times over for your effort.
