Would love to see some before and after photos if anyone would care to share. My journey is just beginning so I find it very inspiring!!

I still have another 30-35 pounds to lose' date=' but it's my most recent "before and after" 228 pounds lost (so far). The before pic was the day of my surgery 20 months ago. The after pic is my daughter and I both in the pants from the before pic. [/quote']

This is such an inspiration. I'm 23 and weighed 365lb before surgery a little over a month ago. I'm at the beginning of my journey and love before and after pictures like these! Well done. You look incredible.

Honestly, it makes me so happy when I see young people take their health back. I was about your weight at your age, too. I wish to God I'd have done something about it back then- before the scale got over 400 pounds and I spent my adult life miserable. I'm 40 now and finally happy, but just think what an awesome life you're creating for yourself! It's pretty amazing

That is how I saw it - I could struggle for another 20 years, or I could take control now. I was ready to give up before I had my daughter, but I started thinking about all the things I couldn't do with her, and all the ways she would miss out if I stayed on the same course. She saved my life!

I haven't lost as much as other or as much as I had hoped I'm going into my 4 th month and omg the scale might not be moving but the inches are falling off !

I started at 191, I only lost about one pound a week, but I preferred it to come off slowly, chances are better for it to stay off.....trust me I am at a point now that I don't want to lose anymore weight. I went from wearing 12/14 to 2/zero....

You will get there....

WOMAN!!! You look amazing, werk it girl.

I was banded in Feb this year at 340 lbs, and got good restriction after 2 fills by July. I'm now at 265, with a goal of 170 (I'm quite tall). Here are my before and afters :-) will post a current full body one soon too. Xx

Looking great Lizzie! Keep up the good work!

You look awesome!!! Great job. How tall are you? Im 5'10 and weigh 290. :-( hoping to get banded next month after my 6 month pre op requirement by my INS.

Like its not even the same person!!

My one year progress, not where I would like to be but ALOT closer than when I started. Stay focused and you will see the weight come off.

Thank you so much!

You look AMAZING! Keep it up girly!
