Comparison Photos at Nearly 100 Down

Wasn't going to let that measly .4 of a pound stop me from posting the latest. In reality, this comparison should be done in three weeks because my surgery was three weeks from yesterday, nine months ago. I was supposed to do a two week pre-op diet, but got sick so surgery was postponed by a week, ended up doing liquids for three weeks. The before pictures I use are actually from the night before my surgery. So, here are the latest from today in my new size XL button down JCrew shirt. Weight = 183.6.



Thank you all so much for your lovely and hilarious comments yesterday!! xoxo

  14. See. I am going to try and explain this to you so you understand, bc when I post my pics people say things like "you are so skinny"...etc...and I think they are just being nice.

    So I really mean what I am about to say.

    When I look at you, besides being so proud and feeling all mama bear inside, I swear to God that I do not see a chubby girl. I dont see a girl that could "stand to lose a few", I dont see a girl that has, or has ever had a problem with food. I see a very slim, very average (well, smaller than average really) professional woman who if I saw walking down the street I would envy and think "skinny bitch".

    You look amazing. It will be interesting to see how these next 10-20 pounds change you even more...bc I cant imagine you needing to be thinner...but I know you will be beautiful.

    I just wanted you to know that when i say SKINNY i mean it. and healthy! and proud!

  15. Holy Shit...there...I said it.
    You look absolutely amazing and fit.
    Both shots are amazing but the one from the side makes you look like a rail...that's a compliment...I'd love to look like a rail.

  17. wow. just wow.
    Where are you supposed to lose the other 20# from? your earlobes? because that's the only body part I can't see and the rest of you looks so thin!

  19. I second Amy except instead of feeling 'mama bear' I feel like the cub, trying to follow in your very skinny high heeled shoes.

You and Tracy were walking up the stairs ahead of me and I was like -- now THAT is what I call progress (and small booties)!! :) Congratulations. I am so happy for you.

  31. Wow. I am with Amy you don't look like a big girl or a girl who struggles with her weight. You look like the kinda gal I see who I think, "Oh, she wouldn't understand.... she's naturally thin."
