Well, I made it to my original goal. I would still like to lose another 10 lbs but we'll see. I went from a starting weight of 175 to 115....so total is only 60 but I am only 5ft tall so it really is alot for my height. I just wanted to catch it before I got diabetes and hi blood pressure and all the things my Mom and alot of other family members have. I'm a little over a year out now. Anyway, as I have said in the past, I'm not here to brag about my loss, I only hope to inspire you all....

one more....

Wow! You look amazing, you go girl! And Congrats on meeting your goal!

Fantastic! Congrats to you!!! Great job, it's hard but it's worth it!

You look fabulous! Where's the before pics?

And where are your surgery scars??? Did they really disappear or did you airbrush it?

Congratulations!! Way to go Laura!

Laura,

I did not get banded yet, but I will very soon. Did you have any plastic surgery done like TT,or is all of that natural?

You look great and you really have inspired us. I'm 5.1" and need to be 100lbs. less. I can't wait.

wow, is that just from banding? Tummy tuck? scars? I am definately encouraged.

I only have one scar that's still visible and that's the port one obviously. If you look close on the black bathing suit one you can see it. I tan alot since I have a tanning salon so that helps hide the scars. I also scar really well. About 2 mos ago I had a breast lift and my scars are already almost faded. I can't see them when I am standing in front of the mirror about 2-3 ft away. Only closer than that. Anyway, no tt....my doc said I didn't need it unless I lose more weight and then we'll see.

oh, yeah here's the only before I have....I stayed away from camaras back then....which was hard considering my hubs a photog...

OMG Laura, I'm 5' tall too.......... is that how I can look when I'm at goal? Woo hoo! You're my inspiration!

I'm so glad to inspire and yes, holly you can get there too!! Just take it one day at a time.

How long did it take you?

WOW! you rock! I don't think you need to lose an ounce more. Now the big challenge.....keeping it off. I know you can do it. Enjoy your new body.

Wow, wow, wow! You look great! I need to lose about 70 -75 pounds and was convinced that I would need a tt and boob lift but your abs are fantastic! What is your workout routine? Do you use weights to get that hard body? P.S. you really do not need to lose another ounce, besides if you get too tiny you will have a hard time finding clothes in size zero!
