Welcome hunter!
What an inspiration! I'm looking forward to "chatting" with you through the forums.

I am very happy for you hunter. HONEST I AM. It sure is a great feeling when you finally realize, HEY, I AM THIN! I, myself, get both kinds of days yet. Sometimes I feel just amazed at how far I have come, and other days, I feel just as big as I was before the surgery. It is taking my brain a while to realize that mike is as thin as he dares to go, literally, after only 6 months on the first of Feb., I got weighed at the DR. today, and I am 140.2#. That is text book ideal weight for my height. NOT GOAL WEIGHT, IDEAL WEIGHT. Barely though. I have to increase carbs now, as I have stated in other posts. My surgeon told me that my ideal weight is between 142 and 151. I am at the low end of normal weight. CAN'T BELIEVE IT, BUT KNOW WHAT I HAVE TO DO NOW. It wasn't my surgeon today though, it was my family DR. I saw. I was advised by a WLS gal today, to start lifting weights, to increase my muscle mass also. I AM GOING TO TAKE HER ADVICE. GREAT WORK hunter. I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU.

Welcome to the board hunter, congratulations on your wonderful weightloss and thank you for joining us.
Hope you feel at home here.
For your pics, do you have a photo editing software? You can size down your pics with that, or as fr1endly2/Lisa says, put it up in Photobucket, where you can make your pics smaller for posting.
Looking forward to your B/As.
(((((((HUGS))))) May your journey go well.
