I haven't been on here for a little while, but I just bought size 12 jeans. And they're comfortable! Eeeeeeeeeeek! I started at a 24. =)

You look great! Don't you just love crossing your legs!?

Stacy, my hubby and I have done this together. I had my band in Aug 2012. He has his in Sept 2012. I started out with a 40 lb head start. (I know it's not a race, but seriously you do notice.) we are now even. Both of us are at 75ish lbs lost. It has been such a great journey for us as a couple, as parents, and as friends to others. The really cool thing is that we aren't even very far into this. I'm excited for you and your hubby to be able to do this together. I can't imagine any other way for us.

You look HOT! Go girl!

Starting weight: 263

Praise God!

Great job! I'm so happy for you!

Not the greatest pics, but they'll do. :-D

You look hot! Great job!

Thanks, all! I'm sure she was just going thru the motions. I suppose I have no clue what's going on in her life either. Maybe she was just having an off day.

RESOLVED! That, in itself, has made this journey worth it! I'm only about half way to my goal, but I'm feeling so grateful for the results so far. I had previously been on 2 types of insulin as well as oral medication. =)

I had my first appointment with my GP since I've started my journey. The nurse weighed me. I'm down 64lbs from the last time they saw me. She says nothing. Fine. We get in the room, she's going through the whole list of standard questions, then asks if I've had any changes in my health history since my last visit. I told her I had LB surgery on Aug 7. The very next thing out of her mouth was, "Your BMI is high for your height. Do you want some weight counseling?" I told her I just had LB surgery, I've lost 64 lbs and lowered my BMI by 10 points! She casually says, "Fair enough." Wow! Lol! Oh and my A1c was 4.8!!!!! My doc changed the status of my diabetes to"resolved."

Weight as of 11/6 199 lbs.

Oh and a size L top.

Rock on, girl! That is so exciting!

Congrats!!! You look fantastic! Welcome to your new normal!

What a great story! You look amazing! So handsome!

I tend to be obsessed with the scale. Bad, I know.

Oh, and I'm 5'4". :-D

I understood that you want to weigh 152 in a year, right? If so, I think that's attainable. I started at 263 at the beginning of my journey. I was banded on August 7, 2012 and am currently sitting at 201. Good luck with your journey!

You really rocked it, girl! You look fab!

Amazing! That's fun!

I am only 5 lbs away from ONEDERLAND! It's so close, but feels so far! I've been hovering at the same weight for a week or so, and almost feel like when I'm close to a mini goal like this that I sort of sabotage myself for a bit. So yesterday, I decided it's time to quit fartin' around! That's all. :-D
