I was going to wait until I was at goal but being 10-15 lbs out is good enough. The now pics are before and at my 50th high school reunion. I had a straight skirt and 3" heels on. Something I hadn't worn practically since high school. I felt confident and proud of myself and had a very good evening. The before pictures are of a person who felt "not of this world" in a room full of "normal" people. So little time to break that evil mindset. Hurray for the sleeve and the courage to say "yes" to a better future.
