No wonder my daughter is crying in this pic - look at the state of me!
Thankfully that was 6 years and 111 pounds ago. I had a gastric bypass and changed my life and I'm struggling to even remember being this size.
The reason I am on this site is that the surgery wasn't and isn't a magic wand. I still have to watch what I eat like a hawk and since I started a new job at the end of last year I put 20 pounds on as I wasn't exercising and being vigilant with the food. So far 18 pounds is off (since mid June) and I'm gunning for 150 which was always my original weightloss goal and not the 157 I settled for.
My daughter is now 17 and told me last week on holiday, "mum, you look good in that bikini" - wow, how times have changed!

while you loaded then right, the pics are too big. you need to resize then, maybe by half or a little less.0

If you open those pics up in MS Paint (under start, accessories) you can re-size them then save as a different name. Put those resized pics on tiny pic then update your MFP post with the link to them.0
