I have been working hard to get fit since April 07. I got my surgery on July 13th. As of today I am down 115 pounds. I cannot find any pictures of me at my top weight (surprise!) I think the before pictures are about 290. I am now 215. I was 330 when I started.

only 65 to go!

I love how everyone dresses better and takes more pride in their appearance in the "after" photos. It's not just about the weight. It's about the attitude!

Ok, here I am. Before, size 26/28, after, size 6

When I look at my before pictures I cannot believe that I am that person.

I really can't believe that that's the same butt!!! Wow!

If I did this right, I am still in transition...but I thought I would post some pics also. I still have a ways to go, but I feel great with what I've lost so far. :lol: The top one is mid-April of 2007, just a couple of weeks before surgery and the lower one is about 3 weeks ago right before Christmas. In that pic I am down 102 lbs.

Everyone is doing great!!! Keep up the fantastic work!! Happy 2008 to every bandster out there.
