November Nymphs Bandiversary Celebration!!!

[steph_co 9]

Jeez, Steph, you look great! Put your head on that fairy, and that could be your body!!!

Haha...I wish. LOL I sent some face pics to a friend of mine that was making an avatar for me for Myspace. She said I was getting "tiny." LOL I don't feel tiny when I have 42 more pounds to go. Thanks for the compliment. :Dancing_sorry:

You look fantastic Steph! How tall are you?

Thanks, Sades. I'm 5'7".

Yeah Steph, you do look awesome!! You're motivating me to get my butt in gear. I should have lost more by now. You'll get the rest off before you know it!

[Sades 4]

No wonder you're so much slimmer than me at 188 lbs. I'm just under 5'2" and 185 lbs. I'll post some pics soon.

Steph, Wow! Those are fantastic pictures... I am so happy for you, you have no idea! Congratulations, and if you are still "in a mood", get out of it quick. With pictures like that, they should be peeling you off the ceiling.

Yes...we need pics! :thumbup:

LOL...the mood may have had something to do with my #3 in my original post. I'm seeing the creepy side of that... So yes, I get the good flirting, now...but I also have to take with that the skeevy guys that think I'm some kind of object. :thumbup:

Thanks for the compliment. :smile: I do FEEL a whole lot better, now. I think I just get frustrated sometimes that I still have so far to go.

Wow! One year ago today I had surgery. What an amazing journey. I've lost 59 pounds since surgery and 71 total. I can't believe I've lost this much and I am only 16 pounds from my 1st big goal of 135 pounds. I will decide from there how much more to lose.

Bandpal - Wow! The pictures are really great. You are a different person.

Steph - You look amazing.

I need to take some more body shots.

Congrats to everyone on a wonderful year!

[bandpal 7]

Congratulations, Jill. I know that those 16 pounds are not long for this world. Thanks for the compliments. I guess I am a different person, kind of...

[scarecrow 4]

Oh wow, undy pics!

Awesome man, lol, that takes more courage than I have, but I'm not nearly as skinny as you either.

That's my new goal bandpal. When I am comfortable enough to post a picture of my self, on the internet, without a shirt - I've reached my goal.

You look great though man, absolutely excellent. So have you gone to the fair yet? An amusement park? I can remember not wanting to take a date to the fair for fear of not making a weight limit or size limit on a ride. You should go to an amusement park and ride a roller coaster ; ).

[bandpal 7]

Thank you, Scarecrow - The real breakthrough was the "before" pics - that, for me was a dramatic way of saying, "this is where I am at, I need help and I'm going to do something about it." The "after" pics were just a follow- through; a comparison has to be legitimite, right?

No fairs out where I am but I wouldn't mind horseback riding, something which my feelings about the ethical treatment of animals would have prevented, oh, about 115 pounds ago...

[scarecrow 4]

LOL

Poor horses. The mayor of the city I live in has commercials with him riding around on a horse, and he's a 350-400lbs guy. I didn't believe it when I first heard about it, but when I saw the commercial I learned they found him the worlds largest horse to ride on or something. It was MASSIVE.

I too would like to ride a normal size horse.

Bandpal!!! Wow you look great!! I'm not brave enough to take pictures of me in my undies. LOL I bet your wife is thrilled to death.

I just can't believe that it has been one year. Wow!! What major changes in my life. I wore a 22/24 now I'm a 12/14. My blood pressure is normal. My surgar level is normal. I still have knee problems, but I figure I would be in worse shape if not. There are times when I don't even recogize pictures of myself.

You all remember my DH and DS had surgery too. We have about 350 lbs as a family.

The first picture was taken today. The second & third pictures were taken the day before my surgery.

[steph_co 9]

There you have it, folks. Thank you all for being with me during a wonderful year and an incredible experience.

Wow, Bandpal! What a major difference. You look so completely different. LOL - you also have more guts than I do. I have the undie pics, but I don't dare post them on here.

Steph - You look amazing.

Thanks. You're looking pretty awesome yourself! Your pic in avatar, you look like you've always been a skinny little thing.

Steph you look fantastic!!!! Congrats.

Thank you.
