11 months and GOAL!!!! and rockin' the butterfly costume ;~)

yesterday was 11 months since i had lap rny. as of yesterday, i have lost 131 pounds and REACHED MY GOAL of 123 pounds!! :~D here's a pic of the scale and another one showing my body fat percentage just to prove that i actually MADE it, haha!!

AND, here's a pic of some of my extra skin (i even took the time to label it for ya ;~) just to prove that i may look great but it hasn't been without it's consequences. sorry if this offends anyone but hey, the truth hurts!



also, katie and i went to dan's halloween party last night. it was at his sister's mother-in-law's house (i think) instead of dan's house since he no longer lives in decatur. some of you may remember that last year i went as wednesday addams...



this was a month before i had my lap rny and i weighed 254 pounds. this year i went to the party as a beautiful pink butterfly weighing in at 123 pounds...



isn't the difference just incredible!!?! and yeah, i had to get the butterfly costume out of the children's section because the adult costumes were just too big!!!
