sorry i dont really post too much here. i do keep up with everyone tho. i thought i would post new pics of me and hubby. to date hubby has lost 155lbs and i have lost 91lbs. i am 7lbs from goal and its really hard to believe. having been banded 3/06 i never thought i would see my goal, but its just around the corner. hubby has about 70 more lbs to go. i actually enjoy going out and buying clothes now. everyone here has been such an inspiration and the bond here is genuine.

I'm going to the gym now and starting to add muscle, so the weight isn't moving much now as I'm replacing fat but my sizes are going down so I know its working. Now if I could just get rid of the double-chin.

The first picture was taken Christmas 2005 and the second one today. I am down 99lbs (I know my ticker says 102 but Chistmas came and...) and am still working on the rest. I want to get below 200lbs this year if I can and then I will see how I look and feel and take the rest from there.

"Before" was taken the day of surgery.

"After" was taken two months ago.

This band is the greatest tool ever invented. It has changed my life in so many ways. I just always remember it is not a CURE it is a TOOL.
