Toony

Here I am... right before surgery - and now! I'm down 70 pounds
and feel GREAT!

I don't know if I posted this "neck" tendon photo before...
but it's me, looking for collarbones, and only finding these
tendony things... I swear there are NO COLLAR BONES there yet...
you are just seeing TENDONS or SINEW

Tendon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

No worries...I'm smiling... all the way to the scale!!!


Sinewy Yours,

Toony

Awesome progress, Toony! You look so different and SO great!

And hey, collar bones are not the be all and end all. Mine make me look kind of too boney. Plus, they are the first part to catch all the sun and in the last few months I've had a horrible sunburn twice focused all on the collar bones.

See? Ouch!

Great Toony!
I love that you are holding the same stance in your current photo - still the "usual" you, but one huge change!!! You look more vibrant as well as the visible melting! Congratulations on your landmark and awesome weight loss!
Cheers,
Vim

WOW Katie! Just incredible--and your neck LOOKS collar bony--or tendony--or whatever you want to call it. I call it just awesome!

I got your email too...I'll write more later. We're on our way out the door!

I don't know why I haven't thought to use this before, but in the words of Billy Crystal: YOU LOOK MAH-VA-LOUS!
