I'm Feeling Foxy!

They say, "You're only as sick as your secrets."

I've been keeping most of my really fat pictures secret from you guys, so I thought I'd share a couple. They are very humiliating. Today I can very proudly say that I've lost 76 pounds since the beginning of my band journey. I'll ask hubby to take some current photos so Penni can make them into a side-by-side for me to update the Before & After thread, but I feel compelled to share these with my LBT family through choked-back tears.

Here's dying Lisa:

Keep up the great work you have been doing recently Lisa! You are looking fantastic. I will do the big reveal for my original picture when I was at my biggest and had taken myself off to Glamour shots thinking with some sort of picture magic they could make me less fat. I guess there wasn't enough vaseline in the world that would help.

I was a very functioning 315 pounder. This was me at work.

And here's me a few months ago. I'm struggling to maintain what I've lost and lose more, but JUST FOR TODAY I'm so thrilled happy that I'll burst if I don't share. Sometimes we need to give ourselves a well deserved hand, so here's mine!

Look at that change. You looked great in your heavy pictures but you are definately looking foxy now. You should be proud of your accomplishment - plus look at how great you have done since surgery. Thanks for sharing. Celeste

Finding holiday clothes sucked. Last year I actually had choices! Choices rock my world!

Girl you are looking GREAT....Hang in there band or no band you have the will to do it. You still inspire so many of us! I use to be that 315 pounder with you girl...NO MORE!

Thanks everyone! I wish everyone would post more pics. ShelliJ's pictures inspire me and keep me away from goodies. Maybe I'll make a whole wallboard of all my before & after bandster friends. I'm inspired by all you people. Life was so lonely before LBT, so I have all you to thank!
