To all of you thanks for the good words and encouragement. And thanks Vera for posting the pictures!

And as you can guess, purple is my favorite color. The first outfit is a 2x and the last picture I'm wearing a size 12 from Coldwater Creek.

Surgeon took out half my fill so that I lose my last 20 to 25 pounds more slowly. It has been rough because now I want to eat more. So I started to increase my exercise and am at least maintaining for the moment.

THANKS AGAIN!

Carol,

You look wonderful. Purple/lavender is certainly a color that brings out your 'glow'. You were beautiful in your before pictures and just better in your present photo.

Congratulations!
