Well...here is the first before and after I've posted. I've exceeded my goal, but am training for a half marathon and expect to lose a bit more. The after picture was taken today at work, after I showed a coworker my before picture. She insisted on taking an after picture (ugh--not the best!) and emailing both of them to her daughter to convince her to get banded!

Before I had my surgery almost two years ago, I made a list of all the goals I had. Of those 20 or so things, I only have about 3 of my original left (I've added a few more now!) One that I recently crossed off last weekend: feeling confident in a swimsuit in Vegas!

So here are some before and after pics of me. I've been maintaining between 140 and 150 for about 9 months now, and Vegas was a good way to Celebrate :thumbup:
