Time to update again. I had my band on Jan 31 this year, & I've taken pics every 2 months. I've lost 99lb now (45kg), & am aiming to lose another 33 (15kg)

The first pic is me 05-07-07 and the second one is me 09-27-07 ... I am finally beginning to notice the diff in pics which is funny because I started at a 22 and am a 10-12 now!

I'm getting kind of annoyed at the fact that I'm losing weight so slow, but it is coming off. Arg.

Sorry about the huge pictures!

Enjoy!

Before, I am the one on the right, after is a silly pic I took in front of a mirror the other day with my camera phone.

(please forgive the "hurry up and take the damm shot" look on my face in the last "after" pic, it was 2am, and I was ready for bed!)

Well, the pink shirt, is me last christmas, in all of my 284 pounds of glory...

The blue shirt is surgery morning...oooo I was looking mighty fine that morning! :car:

The green shirt was yesterday...and yes, I was annoyed when the pic was taken...hence the "take the darn pic already" look :car:

Thought I would share my 8 months pic comparison. The first pic was taken the night before surgery, the 2nd pic was taken on 8/7 on our family vacation. I am amazed at how different my face looks.

Ok....I just had surgery August 20th so it is too early to post anything but a head shot but I think there is a difference in my face so far. The first pic was from December 2006 before any pre-dieting or anything. The second pic was taken a few weeks ago. I am down a total of 35lbs so far.....

Here are my updates... i hadn't done any in months... wish my scale would move. IT has been stuck for 2 months. I just keep sticking with it. I get so much inspiration from all of you. You look so amazing!

The first pic is from July 1, 2007 and then the comparison is October 8, 2007
