Here is my before and after. Still trucking away. :-)

1st one was 6 months before surgery 280 pounds, 2nd was last week at 218 pounds.

Progress pics. About 115 lbs down, and about 80 - 90 more to go.

And DH cut my head off. Photographer he is not.

Ok this is a better comparison since the last post you couldnt really see my face in the old pic this one is the first pic is Oct 2006 and the 2nd is June 2006

The first pic of me in the chair i weighed a whopping 290....The next two pics down -57lbs.

Before 297 (Christmas, 2004)

After 170ish (November, 2006):

I saw this dress and fell in love with it, I will post new pics from the Christmas party with my hair and make up done.

Here is my before and after pictures. Before was taken in May 2005 1 month before banding. The after is 4/2006 on a cruise my husband and I went on. I hope this inspires the newbies! before weight was 273lbs and at time of picture in 4/2006 I was 180lbs. As of today 11/12/2006 I weigh 155-158lbs. I'm enjoying life again.

Hey guys! I haven't been here in awhile and wanted to share a picture from Halloween with me and my daughter....I am not standing up in it but the change in my face is obvious!

Before - June 2005

After - Halloween 2006

I hope this works.

Before at 285

Now at 245

56 inch waist in the before - down to a 38/40 in the after pic. I started my new job last week and could never have pulled off this look with a white shirt! I still see myself as a big guy, but not miserably overweight when I see my reflection. Its funny to see my tie hang down now instead of out.
