My 6-month bandiversary is in two days so I thought I would post my 6-month progress pics. I plan on getting a new pair of jeans (hopefully in a size 14!!) on my bandiversary and I'll take pics of me in regular clothes and post them then....I am just so excited to see the difference I couldn't wait to post these. I LOVE my band!

I posted on another thread...but thought I'd add my pics to this one too. The before pic was in June...a month before my surgery. The after pics are 16 weeks post surgery and 100.8 pounds later.

This thread is such motivation for me. I have not checked in for a while, but you are all doing so great! I am stuck right now, but more than 1/2 way there. I thought I would post my 6 month pics. The first one is the week before surgery, the 2nd is July and the last is 10/30.

Halfway there! I have slowed down a lot in the last few weeks, mostly due to my own poor choices. But I am back on track and ready to make it the next 40!

First pics are 5 days before surgery, after losing 10 lbs pre surgery, and the other two are pin up girl pictures from Halloween.

I haven't posted any pics here for a long time, so thought I'd do an update. I had surgery 9-5-06, and lost 108 to goal w/in 9 mo. I'm now down a few more pounds, and have been holding pretty steady for the past five months.

Before, about 275 lbs, size 26:

After, about 160 lbs., size 8-10:

OKay...so here are my before and 1 month after.... man that stinks I can't tell the difference in pics yet.....that's okay though....I dropped 2 sizes in pants and 3 sizes in shirts so I FEEL the difference and sometimes that's even better ! =) Still a loooooong way to go !!!!!!!! Oh and btw excuse the open mouth in the second pic....my husband was too impatient to wait for me to stop talking before he took the pics. EEEK all of these pics are about the worst I have ever taken LOL
