Melissa's 1 year Anniversary!!!

[~Melissa~]

Hello everyone, I just had to share my one year anniversary with all of you on here. I had my surgery May 31st of 2006. I have lost 95.5#'s. I have gone from a size 28 to a 16. I have about 60 more pounds to go to be at "my" goal. I am attaching some before and after pics. Thanks to everyone on here for all the support and answering my sometimes stupid questions. Without all of you I don't know if I would have made it this far and lost what I have. Thanks again!

Before is in the red shirt, I was 336.5#'s.

Just some random after pics, now I don't mind so much to have my pic taken. Before I tried to hide!

Wow, how did I miss this thread?? Melissa, you should be so proud of yourself! What a difference in your body and in your face! Isn't it amazing and fulfilling to see that the "real us" when we peel back the layers that have hidden us for so long? You look truly happy and I'm happy for you! Keep up the amazing work. The second year gets a bit tougher for some, but if you keep plugged in to local and b2g support, you'll be amazed at what this year will bring for you!

Grats!!

P.S. I noticed that I said amazing a lot in this post, and well... that's because Melissa IS amazing!! :)
