I thought it might be some nice motivation for us if we did a pic update (before/current). I have to admit I have been feeling down about losing the weight much slower, so I went through some old pics and suddenly I feel better! I'll go first:

August, 2009

November 13, 2009

Let's see some before/after pics from everyone! Honestly, I think it's a nice check for us all that we ARE doing a great job!!

I don't have after pictures yet but I wanted to say you look beautiful!

You are so pretty and have a handsome guy to booth!

I don't have After because I'm not at goal yet. So, Before and During:

You think your weight loss is slow? Then I hope I have "slow" weight loss, too! ha ha! Just kidding...but really, you have lost 40 lbs since August, and only banded for 2 months... I don't think that's slow at all, especially since you started at a lower weight than many people here. You're doing great.

Shoot...I hope I lose that much in two months as well. LOL. You look good...definitely pull pics out, I've been taking pics as well...and my fam/friends can see the difference in just a month and a half.

I was banded on Sept 16th, the picture on left of each thumbnail was taken the weekend before my surgery. The one on the right was taken the weekend of thanksgiving at my grandfather's funeral.

put in wrong descriptions of pictures

Kylee -- you look awesome! It definitely looks like you lost more than 30 lbs! Gotta love that weight distribution factor, right?

Keep up the good work! You look great!

WOW Willow!!! You look amazing! You've lost so much since June, you should be so proud!

I'm not in the 'after' stage either. About 40 more to go, but it's good we're all taking pics to keep track of our progress.

Congrats again on your weight loss! You've done such a great job!

Juilansmom----You look amazing. You're beautiful!

Well this is not exactly an after because I still have about 40 pounds to lose before I'm where I want to be.

So this is my before on the left from about 3 years ago and at about 300 pounds. Then on the right is my current from a few weeks ago. I was about 202 in the pic. I am currently at 199. Yay!

Jill, you look AWESOME...great inspiration..keep up the great work!!!

Thank you so much!

OMG Jill you look AMAZING!! (And I would've guessed you weighed at least 180 in that pic). I am staring at this with my jaw on the floor! Gorgeous! Keep up the great work! What wonderful motivation for all of us!!

Wow! Ya'll look GREAT!!!:smile2:

Don't be discourage, we're all just in this less than 6 months. I know in all my past diets, there was no way I stuck to it that long or lost that much so ya'll are doing great!

I started my pre-op diet on Dec.8, 2009 & Banded on Dec.22, 2009. I'm down 30lbs.

**gosh, sorry these pics are so dang big, I have no idea how to resize. Sorry.

Looking good, Sweet! That is a quick 30--great job!
