hi Blondie- you did a great job so far!

We've lost weight about the same time and the same amount (but you're ahead of me.. and I'm jealous!!)

I've been reading that purple stretch marks go away unlike the shiny ones. Have you already consulted a plastic surgeon? Is that not true? I'd like to know

hi, you look amazing and your pictures are v.inspirational i just hope that i can be a sucsess story like this one day (at 200lb and 5foot 10 inch) i have a longggg way to go but it will be worth it!

And for the stretch marks at least you have someone to show for them mine are awfull around my waist and im only 16 . but i have a question if i wanted to take snap shops like you how often would you suggest i do them ?
i have also added you on myspace, cya xox

You are very beautiful! Congrats on your weight loss... you are an inspiration and you look AMAZING!

Congratulations you look great!!! Incredible determination.

You are my inspiration. Our goals are about the same. You look wonderful! I have stretch marks too... Worth it right? For the cutest little person in the world.

Thanks for showing your progress, I am sure this is going to help so many of us struggling...

Wow! Incredible! You should be so proud of yourself, that is very hard work... I need to lose 45 lbs and it feels near impossible!! But congratulations.

I was wondering how long it has taken you to get to your current weight from when you started??

WOW..you look absolutely amazing! Well done! As far as the stretch marks..don't sweat it..I had a tummy tuck and prior to it, I had a ton of them. To my delight, after the tummy tuck, they had all gone! I've never been stretch mark free before LOL! No doubt most of your marks will be gone following the tuck

You look amazing! Is that your daughter? She is adorable!

I always try to find before and after pics of someone that I can compare myself to and we are almost identical!!! I started in Oct at 233 and I don't weigh myself but I am guessing I am about 165. I went from a size 18-20 to a size 10! I have stretch marks just like yours!! I also am going to get a tummy tuck and reduction/augmentation as soon as I hit my goal weight of 125.

You look FANTASTIC!!! Thanks for the updated pics....Keep it up!

Do you have before and after pics of your tummy tuck? Did it hurt after wards tell me everything ?

Been following the thread for awhile. You did and continue to do a great job. Your new pics are smoking.

Your hot.

You are such an inspiration! You look absolutely great!

Wow, this is so encouraging... congratulations. I have just started the 6 small meals plan again. I am eating grapes, sunflower seeds, oatmeal, cucumber and tomatoe salad etc. I am trying to eat healthy low fat meals that are no more than 1500 calories a day. And, I am exercisng 30 minutes a day on the treadmill. I drink plenty of water and take a good multivitamins from Whole Foods Market. I think cutting back on sweets is a great idea. You are right it helps to give yourself a snack instead of being to strick.

Do you have a maintenance plan in place? How that it going for you?

Right now, I really need the extra encouragement. Any tips will be greatly appreciated. I also have the Make The Connection video. I am following the 10 tips that Oprah and Bob Greene mentioned. I just started so I hope to see great results as I combine them with the 6 small meals that they also mentioned. I know if I mess up I just need to keep going until I see the results. They will come over time I'm sure. Your post has really inspired me to keep going.

Thanks Linsey..

Vicky
