Hello Worldette,
I realize I have not updated this in a while, but thought I'd provide a bit of a photo update to show how I am doing on this weight loss journey. You will have to ignore the general lack of makeup or nice hair and definitely don't take note of the less-than-flattering outfits; but you can see quite a difference already. The photos on the left are from about one month after the surgery on 8.22.10, and the ones on the right were taken on Thanksgiving (11.26.10). Right now I stand at a 42 pound weight loss. The holidays are going to be tough to keep the loss going, but my primary goal is to make it through the season without a gain.

I do have a ways to go until I hit my ultimate goal, but these photos are encouraging! I can see improvements in my posture and in things that I don't normally see in the mirror. Slowly but surely, I'm getting there.
Happy Holidays!
