I'm still right around the same weight 39 more pounds to go til goal.

Two of the pictures are my Senior pics, I was around 280, then my heaviest at 303 right before graduation. Today I'm at 222.5.

ok, I added the pictures from my computer...hope it shows up on the screen...

This picture was taken yesterday April 23, 2006. Myself (Maudeispam), hubby Burt and our "little boy" Ethan James.

Well, it's been almost 5 months, and I'm closing in on 50 pounds...so I thought I'd update my pics. I don't think I LOOK that much different, but, boy do I FEEL different!!!!!!

(I have gone from a 26/28 shirt to an 18/20, but I like to talk about pant sizes!!!! hehehee)

Thanks, guys, for all of the help and well-wishes this far!!! I look forward to much more help and support (and hopefully I will get to help at least someone during this journey!!)

It's my 6 month bandiversary so I thought I'd update with pictures. I don't think I look that much different in the pictures, but I feel better and my pre-surgery clothes don't fit! Can't wait to see how I look when I lose all the weight and get some plastic surgery!

Thanks for all or your support - couldn't have done this without you guys to cheer me on and answer all my questions! THANK YOU ALL!!!

Hope y'all can see this.

Ok, I am really not 100% comfortable with showing my body pics yet. I'm sorry. But I will show you accurate pictures of myself. The first picture is when I weighed 240lbs. The 2nd picture was taken last night at 216lbs. I may take full body pics tonight and show you guys. I did take before's at 240 and they are soooo gross to me. They aren't lovely lady lumps that's for sure.

24lbs gone, 81lbs more to go.

Ok guys! I'm still a work in progress, but here is my attempt to encourage others interested in the LapBand to go for it!

p.s. I'm down 7 lb from the latest photo!

This is me, summer of 2004 and last week (with DH). I'm very close to goal. :clap2:

Guys I think I'm going to revise my goal weight. 30 more pounds might be too much more to loose, especially if my neck starts to look drawn. I know that this weight is still obese in fact morbidly obese but Id need to loose 40 more bls to be correct weight and even my doctor said thats probably too much. I vow not to get carried away with this weightloss thing though. Next thing you know I'll have to start looking for a plastic surgeon !

-106 lbs

You look great!

Here's my latest. I didn't come out looking near as slender as I felt in this outfit, but here's me last weekend in the mountains of beautiful Virginia. With my sweet daughter, age 6. I weigh 182 there.

Could someone side-by-side the before pic? The before was taken in 2000 at my high weight, about 240. Same daughter

I'll try, TBM! You look awesome!!! Your daughter's changed a bit too.

Here you go hon.. hope this works: This is Vickie1177 Everyone

I've lost close to 60 pounds and visually don't see much of a difference in these pics. However, mentally, I realize I'm able to wear smaller sizes and can get around a lot better so know I am making slow but sure progress!
