You have all been such an inspiration to me. Congratulations to all of you on your weight loss! You all truly look wonderful. I look forward to coming on the Before/After pix. So after four months and 76lbs down I have decided to post. This is still so hard just because I have so much more to loose. I am so thankful for the results though that I hope to give others hope that we can all fight the fight of morbid obesity and obesity alike. God Bless everyone on their journey...We can do this!

Here ya go!!! If you know how to make the pix larger, please do so....These are preband 262lbs. and currently 214lbs...

The first swim suit pics are from a few days prior to surgery. The next set of swimsuit pics are from Oct. and the last set of "Little" black dress pics are from Dec. 13th

Here is a better comparison.

Everybody is looking fabulous! This has always been my favourite inspiration thread :-)

Time for my new update!

I'm 50kg (110#) down since banding on January 31, & have around 25# to go

Ok here I go... next month on January 14th I will post a month later pics... to compare to ....

Hope everyone had had a wonderful xmas!! Yay reached xmas goal 10.5kgs (23 pounds). First two just before surgery second taken today. Can't see much difference yet. Hope this works and the pics are the right size......

Here is my 6 month pics... I don't see any difference in the last 2 months - only 20 pounds though.. But still....

<HR style="COLOR: #e9e9e9" SIZE=1>Time for an update.

I hope the pics work this time!

First pics of me: Before and After LapBanding.

The first is in 2005 and the second pic is Early 2006. Same outfit, different look!

OK, next is late 2006 after a Tummy Tuck but I'm still losing weight.

Finally, here I am a few months ago - after goal weight. (I'll just put a link here. I'm fresh out of the shower in this picture, in my undies. Don't want to offend anyone!)

Even though this is an ongoing journey, Im proud of where I am. There are those who make snide comments ("Well you lost so much weight, you probably have so much hanging skin." or even "Oh, I guess you think you look so good now. Don't get a big head.")

No, I don't have a big head, but I haven't been this size in years. Hooray for the LapBand!

Here's my Christmas B&A!

Newsho.. can't see the pics either. Destiny79.. how did you make them show up???

Dang. I don't know what happened. They were showing up at first.

I'll try to re-edit them but I'm using my old

laptop at the family house, and they are stored on the hard drive at my new laptop at my place.

Let me see what I can do from here.

First one is early 2005 & early 2006 - Before & After Banding (same outfit).

Second one is me in Black - in Late 2006 after a TT (but I was still losing).

I'll try to make the link to my newest pic (Fall 2007) to show up.
