Me at about 312, just had my 3rd Child who I am holding and he inspired me. This is me at the Moab Half Marathon, coming out of the Porta Potty at 244. Ran it in about 2:30. I am no Kenyan, but it was a Win.

Omg! You look incredible!!

Hey there everyone. I've been a member here for a long time, but I haven't been on in years. I've been busy with my school, work and life, and I am finally at a good place in my life with everything. I thought I would pop in and let everyone know how I was doing, and hopefully inspire a few of you!!

I got my Lap Band in December of 2008. I weighed 395 pounds at my heaviest, right before surgery. With the help of my band, I have lost almost 200 pounds. I currently weigh 195 pounds and I am still losing!!

Besides changing my diet to the general knowledge things (no fast food or processed food) I increased my physical activity tenfold. I park as far away as seems sane, and take the stairs everywhere. I haven't been in an elevator in over two years!! If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask.

I attached a before/after picture for all to see :)

Wow Man great job. You don't look like you have any loose skin. I'm envious. B)

I still have some loose skin, but working out and drinking lots of water is helping!

Hey guys, I had the surgery 25th of June 2011, starting weight was 231, and now I'm at 152(height is 5'5). The before picture was taken on the night of the surgery, and the other was taken 2nd of February 2013.

By the way, everyone looks absolutely stunning
