My final "Before" pics

Alex took these pics of me just before I left for surgery.

The last one is me super excited. I was just so high-strung the day before the surgery, and the closer it got the more elated I got! I figured I'd get nervous, but I didn't really.

BEFORE

I've decided this will be my official before pic. It was taken this afternoon on the street in front of our apartment here in Brooklyn.

I'm reminding myself to get that side angle as well since that's the one that really tells the whole truth of the situation!

I've seen so many interesting ways that people track and display their weight loss. I'll be featuring some of those and coming up with some of my own interesting ways as I progress.
