Thanks... I will continue to work on losing.

I have lost about 45 lbs but my issue is I can still fit into the same clothes. Is that normal? I am ready to be able to go down in clothing size.

Wow, You look Great !! Thid is very motivating for me, I just had my surgery 12/30/2010 and have only lost a little. But I am now ready to work harder to get to my goal, thank you.

I had my surgery on 2/11/09. As of this morning, I've lost 157 pounds. I started at 300 pounds and this morning I weighed in at 143. I am 5'7". My surgeons office told me I hold their current record for most weight loss with their lap band patients. My BMI that started at like 46 to 48 is now 22.4, which is in the normal range btw. I used to wear a size 26W/28W or 3x/4x. I just bought a pair of extra small scrubs pants and a small shirt. I also just bought a pair of size 6 jeans. NEVER IN MY LIFE WOULD I HAVE THOUGHT I COULD HAVE ACCOMPLISHED THIS! YOU CAN DO THIS TOO! IF I CAN.... ANYONE CAN! This tool has been a miracle for me. I love my life.... although it's been a crazy two years. You really learn who your true friends are. I am a different person..... inside and out.

Thank you for sharing your story with us. It is very inspiring.
