Goal! - a journey down weight loss lane to goal

I had gastric bypass in June 2005. I've lost a total of 130 pounds and kept it off for over three years:carrot:

I had a tummy tuck/liposuction/hernia and muscle repair almost seven weeks ago. I don't have any pictures of my progress from that but I'll be going on vacation soon to the beach and for the first time since I can remember, I won't mind wearing a bathing suit in front of people! I even bought a bikini. I must be crazy:dizzy:

Here is my journey down weight loss lane:

I'll post tummy tuck pictures soon as well as my pierced belly button! I actually have one that can be seen now and am hoping to get it pierced tomorrow!!!

I can't wait to take a look at everyone else's journey!!!!

Congratulations!
You look amazing!!
I thought about the gastric bypass a while back, and my cousin had it done. But I would be scared I would eat too much after I had it done.
But Congratulations!!!
I hope one day I will be able to put my journey pictures up also!
