Alex, that is so great! These pictures are too awesome to not share! Thanks!!

Awesome, Alex!

Just wanted to share my progress!

My surgery was June 4th, 2012. My beginning weight was 276. Today (5/19/13) I am at 197. So almost 80 pounds gone. I have lost 8 pant sizes and 4 shirt sizes! Total awesomeness.

The first picture was taken 2 months before surgery. The second was taken about a month ago. I was 15 pounds heavier than I am now in the second picture, but it's the most recent that I have!

One year



The photo on the left is me one year ago today....June 2, 2012. The photo on the right is me yesterday....June 1, 2013. I have lost 85 lbs since the photo on the left. I still have about 65 lbs to go, but I am proud of how far I have come so far!

Here are my before and after pictures, it was a long journey but worth it. I started at 210lbs in October 2007, had a tummy tuck in February 2008 when I weighed around 180lb and have been maintaining at around 120lbs for the last 3 years. I kept meaning to come on and post some pictures so I thought better late than never! I got such an enormous amount of support from all of the forum members at the time and you certainly helped keep me focused, I still miss my wonderful canadian friend green, hope you are rocking where ever you are eh? x

This is a recent before & after picture of me. The left side was June of 2011, I was around 315lbs. In July 2012 I reached my heaviest weight: I was 25 years old and 323lbs...it was then that I realized I needed to make a change. I was banded on November 6, 2012, and currently weigh 226lbs! I have lost 97s lbs!!
