My pics of everything

[NotSoFunny]

I am going to just keep coming here and updating my pics. easier if i have my own thread LOL

Most people don't know, but i just cut off all my hair. it was falling out really badly. ugh. :( but i know it will grow back soon, and I am looking forward to that.

So here is a pic of my hair, my facial progression of my weight loss, and a pic of the star I most reseble...i want to look like her!!!

[EmileeKaye]

Great pictures girl! I like the short hair!

Like the idea of having your own thread with your pics. Think it would be a problem making one of my own? Would be nice being able to come in and see the whole progress....

[NotSoFunny]

no that is why we i a forum like this. so you can have your own thread and not have to search. so post away, and show us what you got!! :)

[503-250]

I looked over your pictures carefully...I counted them, made notes and then drew a partial diagram of the combined images. That's definitely not everything.

[NotSoFunny]

yeah...it not. i have to put more up. I need to take more too. my evershrinking butt needs to be documented!!

[Goannabanda]

F-D is lookin gooood! Way to go gurlfreend!

Love the short hair, and wow - at the rate you're losing, by the time it grows back, you'll be so thin, Lauren will be lookin for a lapband (or wish she was "Six Feet Under". LOL!)

[AnnDe]

Funny you are looking great!!!! I'm so happy for you. Isn't the band just GREAT!!!!!:orange:

[Telly]

Oh wow, you look great Funny. You cut it short :) *hugs* How do you feel? Sad? Happy?

I love it!

[Diane]

Funny, you DO like like Lauren. I have always thought you were absolutely beautiful. :love:

Love the pics.

[HeatherGurl]

The hair looks great Amy!

[NotSoFunny]

Telly, I was sad at first, but when we went to the club this weekend I gelle it down like you see in the pic, and everyone just said that it really looke goo. A lot of people think it shows off my eyes more, an rob says it really shows off how long and slender my neck is getting. He was lying though. He's a man and will say anything to get laid.

As for Lauren...I would KILL to look like her. I think she is one very gorgeous woman!!

Diane....omg girl...your avatar picture is STUNNING!!! You look absolutely fantastic! I was trying to find a thread where I could post that but just couldn't take it any longer and had to say something.

Thank you girls. It feels good to have this change happening. I am going to become a camera whore.

[DonnaB]

Amy, you're so brave! I can't bring myself to cut off my hair even though it's falling out all over the place!

How much time do you spend in front of the mirror playing with it? lol

Remind me, how far out from surgery are you? When did you start losing hair? Can you see new hairs growing in yet? Who is Lauren? She's beautiful and, you're right, you look an awful lot like her! I don't have a celebrity look alike. It's probably for the best.

Congrats on your new do!

[Telly]

Haha, I already am a camera ..what you said. :D

[NotSoFunny]

My hair started falling out a month after surgery. I was banded on July 10th. I was finding that I was coming out what looked like new york city sewer rats, the clumps of hair were so big. No new hair growing back yet, but it will happen. at least now the hair that falls out is and inch and a half short. LOL

Lauren is an actress that has done a lot of stuff, mostly indy films, but is well known for her role in six feet under, and the teen angst movie Can't Hardly Wait. She's hot. I want to be just like her.

Telly at least we don't tuck and dance...

[mysherrijo]

Hey babydoll,
It's me. Your banded buddy form Mexico. I'm so glad you invited me. I couldn't believe all of the crap going on OVER THERE. Your hair looks awesome. Your like me, you've got enough thick hair that it'll be back in a few days. LOL

Oh, I was goining to call you and see how your fill went but it's tomorrow isn't it. If you've still got my number call me if you get a chance. It'll go great. I've got the baby today so can't surf much, she's napping now. Oh, I had my first pb thing 4 night ago, remember how bad I was dreading it. I was eating some of our ribs off of the pit and corn on the cob and was gobbling it down like I was starving. It hurt but I made it through it.

Let me know if you want some more sauce and I'll send you some more.
Missed my girlfriend. I was afraid I made you mad when I called you the other day, you sounded busy, I was just worried about you, that's all.

Hair looks great. Keep in touch.

Love ya,
Sherri

[NotSoFunny]

LOL Sherri, you did not make me made, I naturally sound like a bitch when i am deep in the trenches of design hell. LOL Thanks for the compliment on the hair. It is freaky, but I am starting to like it. AND YES SEND MORE SAUCE!!! that stuff is so good if you sauteed mahi mahi steaks in it with a little olive oil and some veggies. omg yum. I was using my finger to get the last of it out to put in my tuna the other ay. LOL

***For everyone who does not know, Sherri and he husband own a BBQ place, and make their own BBQ sauce. It is amazing!! Light and tangy, and goes well on everything, even as a salad dressing!! Its awesome and I truly recommend that you give her a pm, buy a bottle an give it a try! Its full of flavor so a little bit goes a long way, and it is not "burn your throat out" spicy. Perfect balance***

I gotta get more pics up here. I went shopping at Old navy for the fist time for my self. That was fun!!! The top of me is losing faster than the bottom of me. I feel like a mound of dough that is slowly being kneaded from the top down. I am a 2x on top, but my lower body is still a 28. *sigh*

[Morsaille]

Love the pictures! You are so pretty! The hair looks great, too, but not as great as this site!
You all deserve a big - Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!

[EmileeKaye]

Can't wait to see more pics of you!! Get the hubby to take pics of u in the new outfits.

Old Navy was MY store during my losing. The clothing is pretty inexpensive, so yeah, I knew I was going to get smaller soon, but I wanted to look cute while I was in the size too.

[NotSoFunny]

I will try to get more pics. I keep telling him "You have to take pics of me tonight" but then we forget. LOL I need to update my full body shot progression shots.

[Susan]

You look great, and I love the new do. I think your hubby is right, it does show off your slender neck and pretty face.

[NotSoFunny]

so, here are my latest! :)

[Tricia K.]

CUUUUUUUUTE!! :hug:

[NotSoFunny]

TY! :) I am slowly melting from the head down LOL

my butt and thighs and stomach look like melting wax ha!

[Tricia K.]

You're very welcome...and, I hear ya about the stomach and thighs thing. LOL

[Tricia K.]

BTW, you've made quite the transformation already. Congrats, girly! :hug:

[stac1982]

Funny! You look really amazing. Keep up the great work our honorary NC member :)

[NotSoFunny]

Thank you Stac! It feels good! I am halfway there! :) well i guess more than half way.

[JDru]

Funny you look great!! And you have a very cute shirt there. :)

[kebsa]

Funny you do look great! you must feel great when you see how far you have come!

TriciaK , I have to ask what is FUPA?? is what we here in oz have referred to as the front porch??

[Tricia K.]

TriciaK , I have to ask what is FUPA?? is what we here in oz have referred to as the front porch??

FUPA = Fat Upper Pelvic (or Pu**y, Penis, etc.) Area

[Goannabanda]

Wow Funny! You have changed heaps. But I miss that mohawk...

[Alicia521]

Funny, you look awesome! Where's your neck and chin? Oh yeah, gone forever! Lookin' good girlie and I love the shirt!

[Mrs Sabre]

Awesome pictures! I think you already look like her :)

[NotSoFunny]

thanks guys! I do feel good. But i have body image issues because of the sagging apron and bat wings. they have gotten bad. But I know some day they will be taken away by the plastic surgeon fairy. hehehe.

[Kim G]

Wow Funny...looking good girl!!!!!

[Laurel86]

you are so cute :) u look great and i love your hair short like that! its sexy! lol.

keep smiling!

[NotSoFunny]

Thanks Kim and Laurel!

Laurel, my hair is cut short because it was falling out from the fast weight loss. It looked so thin and unhealthy that I chopped it all off. Had a small mohawk for a while, along with Telly. :) I am glad it is growing out now. I miss having pigtails!! LOL

[Natural-1]

Hey Funny, you look great girl!

It looks like you need a new ID soon. I still have my old driver's license & work ID. Everytime I go on a site visit, the guard always stope me and say this doesn't look like you, then I have to explain that I've lost over a hundred pounds.

In my area you can get your license through the mail but I won't be able to because of the picture. It's amazing how when I look at it, I still think it's the same person but everyone else says I look totally different.

Anyway, I feel you on the bat wings and excess skin. I have no idea what I am going to do. I am 5lbs from my idea weight without the skin hanging excessively. I know I will have to pay for PS and I do not have the money and neither do I see it in the near future.

But I wouldn't change a thing, I'll take the bat wings & excess skin. Today I have on a pair of dress slack size 10 & a medium blouse and I love it!

Keep up the good work.

[NotSoFunny]

actually i really need a new one. LOL it expired hehehe. i didn't know until i went to cash a check the other day and they refused me. doh!

[lins12]

It seems like just yesterday you had not even had surgery yet!!!!

So proud of you Amy...MORE PICS MORE PICS MORE PICS!!

[Txblue_eyedqt]

You look awesome!!
Long hair, short hair, I think you look gorgeous either way.

[NotSoFunny]

Lins - Thanks girly!! I know...it does seem like only yesterday i was still waiting for surgery. :) Actually, if all had gone to plan, I would have only had my surgery 6 months ago. I have been so blessed.

Cynthia - Thanks hon. I miss the long hair. There was a lot more I could do with it. LOL Right now I can either wear a headband or....wear a headband. LOL

[EmileeKaye]

Your hair is so cute! Love seeing the new pics girlie!

And it will be fun watching ur hair grow long as you body shrinks away!

[NotSoFunny]

A new pic of my new clothes. Size 20 pants and size 22 shirt! :) YAY ME!

[NotSoFunny]

Here are my VERY highest pics. they are very crappy pics because they were taken with a camera phone. Just found them.

[chrispygal]

You should be very proud of yourself Funny! Looking good!

[stac1982]

Lookin' good funny!

[DebbieChoos]

That is so not you!!! What a ride you have been on! Skinny minny...

[JDru]

Amy you have made such incredible progress!! Keep up the good work! :)

[kebsa]

keep those phots forever! they prove just how far you really have come- especially the side view! you look like half the woman! and half the age!

[NotSoFunny]

i feel like it. the last week has been a huge eye opener for me. I have run on the treadmill, I have played ALOT with the dog and kids, i have done OK on keeping up with the house work and laundry....(housekeeper was sick so I needed to pitch in.) And my energy level stayed high the whole time. I did not hurt or get tired. I was a bit tired from other reasons, but not from my body being too big, and that is huge for me!! I love being smaller.

[Alicia521]

Wow! What a transformation. You look great! :)

[NotSoFunny]

Thanks hon! :) Where are your before and after pics huh? huh? huh? hehehe you are so close to goal. you have done an amazing job!!

[Neal R.]

Funny, question, do you look back at the old pics and think you could not have been that size? I do, I look at my before pics and am amazed. I did nor see myself that big when I was that big. Just wondering if others feel that way?

[Alicia521]

Thanks girl...I'll probably update my thread at my bandiversary with before and after shots!

[NotSoFunny]

good alicia! :) I want to see as many images as possible all together so i can see the changes :D

Neal, I totally do that. My highest pic, the one in the red pants, blows me away to see it all the time. I cannot believe that was me. I look like a balloon that has been over inflated. And I didn't really feel that way, but since I have lost I feel better than ever. it has taught me that even though i felt good at that time, i could have felt better.

Even now i look at pics of my new bod, and i still don't feel that big. i guess I will always feel like i did at 110. more than likely I will get to that and find myself feeling 300 pounds LOL Its so delayed!

[Tricia K.]

Looking good, girlfriend! Congrats!

[NotSoFunny]

Feeling good, Lewis! :P *raises her glass*

[NotSoFunny]

No pics yet, I am waiting for my bandiversary. But I wanted to put my update in here.

As of today I am down 162 pounds. I have 89.5 pounds to go before I reach goal. I have gone from a size 6-7x to an XL shirt and size 18 pants. I know that my apron surgery next month will correct the larger sized pants issue. It takes up so much room. :( Oh well, I will be hot soon. :D I have acheived this by eating a balanced diet with a little extra protein, doing lots of exercising and circuit training, and drinking a gallon of water a day. I have TONS of sagging skin, but I plan on plastic surgery when I get to goal to get my whole body tightened.

So close. It will happen. And I am really excited!!!

[tann]

Congrats Funny, and wishing you all the best on your upcoming tummy tuck. I have sagging skin too, but am glad that it is sagging and not filled out like before:heh:

[NotSoFunny]

Thanks Tann. I agree I am happy it is not as filled out as before. But it has a pocket of fat that will not budge, so I will be happy for that to go away for sure!!!

[JDru]

That's awesome Amy!! You have done so well this past year...you're an inspiration to us all. :)

[NotSoFunny]

Thanks girl. Actually my inspiration is everyone here. You all keep me going. :D Everyone is so great, so supportive, and getting so hot hot hot!!! lol

[lookingout]

Ditto to what JDru and Tann said! I am so amazed by you....your endurance, and positive energy is infectious! I'm so glad you directed me here when you guys started this site. I look to people like you, and your determination when I get down on myself. You'll make it through the apron surgery and be even cuter than you are now....if that's possible! :)

[NotSoFunny]

Thank you you guys. You all make me smile, and blush, more than you can imagine. :)
