So you are starting at almost exactly were i did. 5 2, start weight 223. Banded 11/10/09, Started at size 18, and a 1-2xl shirt, 44G bra. Currently 143, size 7-8 jeans, large shirt and 36FFF Bra. I wish you all the luck in the world.

just noticed your two year ban-anniversary is coming up too.... i'm two days before you (11/10/09). I'm not as blessed in the height category, being only 5 2. We started about the same 223. My goal weight was 150 at first, but I think 130 would be good for me. You look incredible...

so last night my husband asked "how much more weight do you want to lose" I said I don't know why? "because your starting to look like a bag of bones" "and your face is getting wrinkled"

OMG..... as of today i have hit 143.... this means i have LOST 80LBS... YEAH WOOO HOOO.. HORRAY FOR ME...!!!!

So I have to say you look great. Fill us in on your journey...

Tried on all the jeans.... THEY ALL FIT..... even the SIZE 6

One of the girls at work cleaned out her closet and has blessed me with all her Jeans... can't wait to see if i can fit the size 6... (fingers crossed)

Good luck today.... hope everything goes well.

This weekend started Thursday night for me... went to dinner and dancing with husband and friends. Took the day off Friday. Saturday rode the Harley to St. Francisville,la. Ate and then went visit "The Myrtles"... booked a night in the caretakers cottage for the night before Halloween... so excited Hope i see a ghost. Yesterday, spent the morning cleaning then the day with the two grand-kids. Got to love Chuck-e-Cheese

Doing much better... just went thru a mental ruff patch. It's happens....I need to get a personal trainer. This last 20 is killing me. Posting a pic of this weekend at The Myrtles.

omg... i just realized your from Louisiana.... me too. I live in Houma.

Maddy, Congratulations on your WLS. Hope everything goes well. Post some update so we can follow along with your journey to the brand new you..... so Good luck...

I have a 17 y/o niece and i so wish she could have this done. I feel she is or was in the same boat.. very tall and over weight. I could not imagine the torment you all must have gone through..

hey... how is my fellow bander of 11/10/09... can you be leave it's almost two years?... how are things going?

hey... how are things going ..... funk soul brother...? hows the weightloss...?

listing to the radio the other night and thought of you....... Fatboy Slim... funk soul brother came on.......lol

you know , i thought losing weight would give me more to smile about. But, lately i have nothing to smile about.

Why can't life be more simple.....

would love to see your progress over the past year....

Busy weekend... cooked, cleaned and did yard work.... and still the scale is at 149.. what's up wit dat....

OMG... we got our band exactly one year apart. banded 11/10/09, i have only lost 75-77lbs

not doing so good lately.... with my food choices. Need to recommit myself to my band and get my crap together and lose this last 20lbs.

When you get sick and tired of feeling sick and tired, you'll make the decision that is right for you. LB is not easy and not a fix all. For me it made me accountable for me and what i was putting in my body. This is not a diet.. it's a life change. I got my band 11/09 lost apx. 77lbs. I would do it again tomorrow if i had to.... best thing i ever did for my self and my marriage. Good luck

Sorry your intro to this web site was not great. 99% of us are here to support and encourage. But you know like everything else, there is always one bad apple in the bunch. So good luck with everything and i hope everything works out for you. Still think if you can get away for a weekend, it would help... I did for me when i was going thru the same thing.

Still at the plateau, can't seam to get under the 147-150 mark. I need help!!!

Well today i'm going to cut my hair. This is very scary for me. My long hair has always been my security. But, it's time for a change. So i dyed my hair a reddish color and cutting about 4" off.
