I finally reached my goal of 75kg ON my birthday last week, how freaky, lol, considering my goal was to reach 75kg by my fortieth birthday and the day before I was 76.1kg!

Anyway, here's me on Saturday night with my family, that's me in the black and grey stripes. Sorry I have no real befores, we had a computer meltdown and lost a lot of photos.

Here are some quick photos. I will post better after photos when I can stand up straight. Too sore for that right now but hopefully from these photos you can get an idea of the change.

I'm almost 9 months post-op, I love my band. I'm currently training for a triathlon. I never would have imagined doing this before!

This is me a few weeks ago about 7 months since sugery.

Although not a before & after it is more like a "before & current". Still want to drop another 40lbs or so.

These are from my 6 months post op post.

Current (253lbs)

One of me not follwing the rules.
