Are you kidding me? It's a huge difference. Look how thin your face is! And 2 sizes? And 24 pounds in 8 weeks? C'mon? You're kicking it hard girlfriend! Woo hoo!

I too might be braving a bathing suit today as well - Jack & I are considering an afternoon jaunt to the Indiana Dunes. We'll see. I'm apparently less self-conscious than the rest of you on this one. I say, hell the man has seen me butt nekkid anyway and frankly I don't care what these other mystery yahoos think of me anyway. LOL I love being old. It's really helpful on the whole "whatever - I don't care" attitude.

Talk to you later. Ellen

WHOAAAAA I AM HALF WAY TO MY OVERALL GOAL WEIGHT!!!! well that is until I meet it and make a new one! hahaha! I weighed myself after I came back from the beach this morning and WOOHOOOO I made it to 225!! I owe it to you guys for believing in me and being there to tell me I can do it when I want to chow down on that chocolate! HAHA! I know that if I can lose weight anyone can do it! Meeting this goal was a biggie since it is half way there!! I am so excited.. what is the next Challenge going to be???? I need a new incentive!! haha! And thanks for the compliments on the pics you guys!! I do appreciate it! Oh and I felt better being at the beach today.. saw people there they were a lot bigger than I am with A LOT LESS on whoaaaa some people have no sense of what they are wearing out in public!!

Melissa - What the HELL ever!!! girl you look freaking WONDERFUL!!!!! OMG I can't believe you said not a big difference I'll smack you upside the head LOL :smt075

Ellen - I don't know if you came across the website http://www.makemeheal.com but that one was really helpful when I was having questions about having mine done. Pretty much every questions you can think of about the procedure someone has asked. They also sell bras and meds and stuff and there are a ton of users pics so you can get an idea of how the surgery can change your body shape.

I went to the beach too on Saturday with some of my family, we are close to St Augustine Beach (Florida) so hubby and I did our sightseeing thing, grabbed lunch then headed to the beach with the rest of my peoples.

Finalizing my July 4th challenge... I gained 2 lbs back but ultimately lost them both during the challenge. And I got to 9400 calories burned off. So all in all, I'm accepting this as a non-scale victory challenge... and I'm happy with myself this morning!
