Default My Daughter Didn't Recognize Me!

I had not seen my daughter since she got married the beginning of November. My wife picked her up at the airport just a couple of hours ago and I met them for lunch. I walked right up to them and she looked at me and said she saw me walk in, but didn't recognize me. She could not get over how much weight that I had lost and how much thinner that I was, especially in my face.

Here is the picture of us at the wedding (after I had already lost a bunch of weight).




and another picture of the newer me!

Oh, that's just a beautiful story! Thanks for sharing. I love moments like those..makes me all weepy

I can't see the one from the wedding, I'm sure it was a beautiful time for your family. But in your newer picture you look really happy. And a smile is worth a million words

Best wishes on your journey.

I also couldn't access the first photo, but your story was fantastic. I've had this happen to me several times since I've lost weight, so I understand your excitement. Weigh to go!! I'm so happy for you!!

It took a bit to get the wedding picture to show up. But it did! Kewl Beans!

So you're the one who's putting on the mileage in that challenge! ...

If you right click on the x and go to properties you can put in in your address bar to pull it up.
