I've been getting pretty down on myself lately for not losing as much as I think I should be. Yesterday was my six-month surgiversary, as I believe most call it, and I decided to take a few pictures to compare to my "before"s. I never thought I would be proud to post the ones taken at 296 lbs, but now I'm definitely glad I have them. My results so far aren't as impressive as some, but seeing the difference brightened my day. Thanks everyone here that's supported me on my journey thus far, and all of you that will continue to do so.

The first three were taken the night before surgery, at a weight of 296 lbs. The last three were taken last night (6 months, 1 day after the previous) at a still quite hefty 208 lbs. I still have quite a ways to go, but I'm over half way there.

Are you sure the 'before' pictures are YOU? Check them, they look more like a chubby second cousin or something??!

Holy Crap!
You've lost almost 100 friggin' POUNDS in only 6 MONTHS!!!
You are absolutely beautiful!
From here on out, it's just icing on the cake (or, uh, perhaps more like a scoop of protein powder on your oatmeal!)
