OMG - nsv, I almost look normal

[Jachut]

:eek:

finally, a photograph of me that didnt make me cringe. I am NOT the fattest person in the picture, lol. I will always be a "big girl". I'm just taller and bigger built than average. I'd so love to be petite, but I'll settle for not fat anymore.

I hate posting photos of myself unprompted, feels like fishing for compliments but I really am proud of this one. That's me in the black Tshirt, these girls are my bestest buddies that I met online about four years ago, and Sharon in the pink is my girlfriend of 25 years, we went to school togehter and were chatting online under different handles and it took us months to realise we were best friends, lol.

You look great, Jacqui! I love your hair.

[Kathy]

You look just wonderful! I asked my hubby to pick out the Bandster in the group and he chose the lady in the middle with the low-cut dress...thinking maybe she had lost a bunch? Nope, you just blend right in as "normal!" You definitely do NOT have that "I used to be waaay overweight" look. Wow! I wanna be you! :D You are so beautiful!

You look absolutly gorgeous. Thanks for sharing the pics.

[HeatherGurl]

Great Picture! I absolutely LOVE your hair!!!! It is gorgous. You are looking amazing and COMPLETELY normal :)

[paula]

*throat clearing* ahh, could someone make this girl an avator???

What is up with your FLAT tummy??? Jacqui - you are a FOX!! Honestly, If I would see you walking around, Id do a double take and wish I had a body as nice as yours!
..and I love LOVE the long straight hair ;)!

What's this ALMOST crap?


Besides, you look BETTER than normal... you look GREAT.


I'm not normal either. Folks like to tell me I'm ab-normal. They are talking about my stomach (abs) right? Normal stomach, Ab-normal.








Is that good?

Beautiful picture and I would have never guessed you used to be overweight! What an inspiration!

[Jachut]

Oh, lay it on thick guys, lol... more more more!

The hair - bio ionic straightening is the bees knees! I actually have awful frizzy hair. Not curly, just fluffy. Impossible to straighten with a blow dryer. Best thing I ever did - at least as good a decision as my band! Never had a bad hair day since.

Jacqui, I would have to say model quality if I have ever seen it! You are absolutely beautiful!

[Goannabanda]

Wow Jacqui, you look great! See you for coffee tomorrow!

[Firefly]

Wowzers woman, you're goigeous!

[A1ikou]

Jacqui you are such an inspiration and I looked at the picture before I read all your post, looking for the 'almost normal' one...never in a million years would I have picked you out as anything but 'normal'. You look great and deserve all the praise you can get.

You did it!!!

LOVE the avator. LOVE IT!

[Goannabanda]

Love the avatar too!

Hey girls, it's my turn to make you all jealous!!! I met Jacqui IRL last Thursday - she's even more gorgeous (and normal looking :heh:) than her pictures reveal.:heh: We had a great morning over a few coffees with two other local lapbanders - tarajane and tolmc, both of whom post on LBT regularly in the Aussie section.

Looking forward to the next coffee break with Jachut...

You always were my hero, now you're my "normal looking" hero! *laughs*

Very beautiful.. you've done such a wonderful job with your weightloss, Jacqui. You should be feeling very proud! *hugs*

[Lovemylpband]

You look fabulous!
