Congrats on the move down the scale! The chart is sparse in my neighborhood (5'81/2" and 384lbs.) Maybe I'll send my photo in as well. Thanks for the link, very interesting.

Mike, thank you!
That made me rethink the whole worry about weight numbers and how I look.
The lady in the black dress doesn't look bad at all...interesting! And I'm GLAD for that encouragement today. Reduces some of the worry!

But I realized as I looked at them that all of our bodies have weight distributed pre-op that changes after surgery. So REMEMBER that my WLS co-horts when you pull up the pictures. My shape changed dramatically when I hit goal, so I encourage you to think about that as you check out the bodies! And I think I PREFER the weight shown in the picture of that woman...

So for those of you working down to your goal, please know that you'll find a body you didn't know you had under that suit you're working so hard to take off!

Something to think about!
