I wish I'd taken befores:

here are some afters though:

My stomach didnt come out too bad:

and its just so darn good to get photos back from an event and not feel sick at the sight of myself. That's me in the back in black (and my gorgeous mum and sisters!)

Down one year and 72lbs! :wink: 28 to go!!!

Great job redins!!

Here are some new before/current photos of me. I am down about 101 lbs.

First at 280, second at 179.

I have been looking at pictures in this thread for well over a year and this is my first time posting any. I'm pretty happy about it. For now, I'm just posting face pics - it's amazing when I see the changes reflected in my face.

I have been banded just over a year now, and am finally getting some pics up. I have around 65 lbs. It's not coming off as fast as I'd like, but at least it's coming off.

Everyone is looking great! I'm at 13 months post-op. Still loving my band!

Here are some new after photo's.

Before...yuck!

Now

Just did my 1 year post op at my doctor's. They sent the pics back. I sort of want to cry when I see them. But still after roughly 72 lbs down I don't feel or "look"(to me) any different...Anyone else have that problem?

I hope this isn't spamming the board but last weekend I took the BEST picture I have ever taken in my entire life so I want to share. Still 216lbs.

In comparison:

The one in the green is me right before surgery in 2/2008 weighing about 322lbs. The other one is current of me at about 230lbs. I am now an iPhone junkie. The photo of me in the b&W shirt was edited with ColorSplash. I did not change my photo, but it allows me to decide what I want in color and what I want in B&W. In this case, I put me in color and the background in B&W.

I think I have about 50-60 lbs left until I reach my goal.

Thanks to everyone for being such a source of inspiration. Congrats on everyone's successes.
