Wow, I agree with the person who said that you didn't even look like the same person. And you look so much more happier and confident (though I suppose that could have been the social situations.
Wow what big beautiful eyes you have. Isn't it amazing how the face comes out of hiding when one drops a few lbs? Love the haircut too. You look modern and hip.
Wow, what a difference! Great job. (I love that "back off with that f-in' camera" look in the first picture, compare it with the second and it really shows how far you've come not just with your weight but your self image.) I hope to post similar pictures soon.
