the first several pics are from me at my heaviest(255), last july and this july, at my brother in laws wedding in march of this year...the picture where I was in the flowerdy shirt and black skirt was taken in May before my surgery (which was June 30th) and the last 2 pics were me in my wedding dress that I wore in 2008 I apparently am smaller now than I was when I got married :) and the last pic was taken this last sunday...I still have 38 lbs to lose but I am very pleased with my progress thus far....
