I still have 30 pounds more to loose

Hi everyone, my good friend Sallyjo (aka Fran) asked me to post these for her.

The before was taken day of surgery - April 25, 2006

She's been working really hard, 2nd picture was taken at end of June 2007 on our wonderful LBT cruise! --> only 9 lbs to GOAL!

WAY TO GO Sallyjo!

Love,

Karla

I finally reached my goal of 75kg ON my birthday last week, how freaky, lol, considering my goal was to reach 75kg by my fortieth birthday and the day before I was 76.1kg!

Anyway, here's me on Saturday night with my family, that's me in the black and grey stripes. Sorry I have no real befores, we had a computer meltdown and lost a lot of photos.

Now at 204 !! Down 80 Pounds 284 pre op

50 lbs down...31 to go! This feels wonderful!!!

Here's me down 45 pounds!

The 1st photo was taken in May of '06 and the 2nd one was taken 8/25/07..I am down 133lbs.

I figured it was time for an update....

Here are some quick photos. I will post better after photos when I can stand up straight. Too sore for that right now but hopefully from these photos you can get an idea of the change.

foodstampchamp - you are looking great. hope you have a quick recovery.

ok. i posted these on my blog, and for some stupid reason, i am posting here too. this is me starting in 2001 and going through my last picture session. the "big" image can be found here.

I'm almost 9 months post-op, I love my band. I'm currently training for a triathlon. I never would have imagined doing this before!

This is me a few weeks ago about 7 months since sugery.

Although not a before & after it is more like a "before & current". Still want to drop another 40lbs or so.

These are from my 6 months post op post.

Current (253lbs)

One of me not follwing the rules.

These are my WELL WORN NON-Stretch Levis size 14!

I've been trying them on every week for the last two months seeing

how far up I can get them....

A little over a month a go was the first pic.... there was NO amount of

sucking and stuffing that I could make the sides meet... so it was my August goal to get into them by labor day.... I'm a couple days late, but

HERE I AM THIS MORNING! a true testament that inches do come off even when the scale is not budging!

Breathing IS over rated! :eek: I LOVE MY BAND
