HI EVERYONE.... I just wanted to introduce myself. I am scheduled for surgery next Tues. Oct 23...YAY I can't wait.....so I don't have any after pics but here are some before in all of my 270 lbs... AAAAHHH

It's been 8 months and here is what I have to show. I feel like a new person, but am still patiently trying to get the remaining 40 pounds off. It has definatley slowed, but am greatful for the results I have had so far. I have gone from a size 24 to a very comfortable size 16. Everyone on this thread is such an inspiration to me. I look at all the new post daily to keep me headed in the right direction. Thanks to all of you!!!

We had a Halloween Party this weekend and here is a new picture of DH & I. I wanted to let everyone know they are really looking better each day, and I am sure feeling better by the day.</p> <p></p>

Hi there! This is me before I started liquid diet end of Sept. I was banded 10/8 - so the after is now 2 weeks today!:whoo:

What is it with me and turtlenecks? Thought I'd put an update up. Before and during still about 25 lbs to lose.

I had my surgery on August 3, 2006. I was 393 pounds. On Monday this week I got on the scale to discover 297 pounds! I'm FINALLY under 300 pounds! It's unbelievable to me! It's been about 13 years since I was under 300. I have 4 more pounds to make that 100 pounds lost mark! I'm really looking forward to that also.

The first picture was taken on December 18, 2006 on mine and DH's 2nd anniversary. The second picture was this past saturday at the Making Strides against breast cancer walk. I'm the super tall curly haired blonde in the fushia pink jacket.
