Default Just A Comparison :)

Hi everyone, I ran across an old picture of my hubby and I today. The picture was taken in Dec. 2000 and I remember thinking, when I was pre-op and a few years after the picture was taken, that I wished to be that size again.

Yea, it was one of my thinner-years pics and compared to now...wow I was still kinda chubby. Our faces have really thinned out...maybe it's also age? I dunno but I thought I'd share. We are both so proud of our success and eager to move on to the next phase-plastics!

Hi Eli!

What a wonderful comparison and an awesome transformation, you 2! I just noticed that we (you and me) were about the same weight starting out! If you look that great now, I only hope that I can look half as good as you! Although I set my goal at 135, I felt great at 150 and would be extremely happy at that weight again.

Thank you so much for the kind words! I do feel good about myself but I really don't see the "beautiful" part. Anyway, thank you again and I think you are such a pretty lady too...I love that tat on your chest...what does it say?

Thanks Olga! Oh I know you will look just as good...if not better! Just keep doing what you are doing and you will get there. How tall are you? According to the bmi thingie...since I'm 5'5 my ideal normal weight should be 150...and I'm so close.
