I made it. It's been a year since I went to Mexico and got banded by Dr Kuri. No regrets, not a single one. I'm not yet to my goal weight and have hit many loooong plateaus, but I'm doing it. I'm really doing it! Here's a pic...big thanks to P'nut for editing services

Here's some more inspiration. These are pics of me at around 240+ which is my high weight. I am down about 60 pounds from there. Enjoy the REAL before pics! Whew...so glad I don't have to carry all that around anymore. Gone for GOOD!

Way to go girl - You can really tell the difference in the end photos:0)( ahh yeah tha'd be the butt Bob!)

Great Job!

LOL I thought I was wearing the same pants as last year, but I don't think I was...but the butt is looking better, for sure. It will never be bikini-ready, this I KNOW, but I have lost 7.5 inches from my hips and it helps alot. I think this next 15 pounds will make a big difference, and maybe have me ready for a tummy tuck. It's my tummy that's really in the way. I have bare belly pics but I'm nervous about posting them. Maybe I'll take "now" bare belly pics and see. And if P'nut will, yet again!, edit them into panels, I'll do it. I'll see how they look first but when tummy tuck time gets here, I'll definately post them...I promise! Anyhow, my belly is what's causing my biggest probs with clothes fitting well. I'm still doing baggy, and it's never a good look.

Happy Band Day!

Isnt it amazing what a 40 pound drop looks like?

Youre looking great, Girl. And whats this new low of 182??? :high5: (((youre making me nervous))) A BIG wahooo to you for that one too!

Ive love this saying (which fits this thread): "I may not be where I should be, but Praise God Im NOT where I used to be!" Joyce Meyer

Thanks for the 1 year pics. Wish everyone would do this!

Youre looking awesome!!!!!!!

It's 182.8, but yeah, I'm getting there! About once a week for the past 3 weeks I have popped a phentermine. They make me so out of sorts, but they work really well. Not just with the appetite suppression, but with speeding my metabolism. They really are exhausting though. I don't want to get a fill, though, so there ya go.

Yep, Praise God I'm not where I used to be! Never again. Just pray I can keep my band.

Truely inspiring. Congrats on your success.
