Updated: New before and after pics

Well here is my before and during picture it took a lot of courage to post this pic :cursing: but I think you can see a difference. I have a very long way to go.

Here's me!

Just wanted to check in a post some pics. Happy Slow Loser - one for each year I have had the band.

My before and almost after - crossing my fingers that I did this right and the pics actually appear

Still lots of work needed.. this is my best before pic.. around 250. recent pic 226.

Hello all! It's been a while since I've been on this site and even longer since I've posted pics. So, I thought I'd check in and post a new pic. I had my surgery in April 2008 and the "before" pic was the day I started the pre-op diet. The new pic was two days ago. I've lost about 100 pounds. I really want to lose about 12 more pounds, but they are extremely stubborn. I'm a little below the weight my doc thought I'd be able to reach so I'm a happy girl. I love my life. I'm 4 weeks from graduating nursing school, I run at least 25 miles/week, and can shop anywhere I want. It doesn't get any better than this! Good luck to all who are just starting their journey, it's all worth it! And I hope all my bandster friends are doing well! Have a blessed day!

It’s been a while so here is a little update. The first picture is about 6-8 months pre-band (about 285lbs). The second was a few weeks ago on a cruise ship. The third was just a few days ago in my new Triathlon wetsuit. I made it to goal in about 10 months and have been focusing more on fitness than weight since then.

Here is a picture of me taken last night, with another "during" and a "before"

Penni, feel free to delete the last post of my photos!

Congratulations Everyone - we're looking great!!!

Big change in myself people. First pic was taken March 6 2008 my wedding day (5 months and 12 days before my band. I was so unhappy with the way I looked. I was at my "fattest" at 264 pounds.

Second pic was taken November 25 2010. 2 years 3 months and 7 days after my band. I now weight 149 pounds. I'M NOT ONLY SOOOO PROUD OF MYSELF BUT PROUD OF EVERYONE ELSE! WAY TO GO EVERYONE. WE ALL DESERVE A BIG PAT ON THE BACK HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry the pics are so big, but I wanted to share some hope!

Started around 270, now 135. 5 foot 3.

Good luck!

I am not totally done yet, or at least I hope I am not done. I still have about 40 lbs left to lose. I go in for brachioplasty in February. I started out at 331 and am now down to 220.
