Thought I would make the pics smaller!

The first pic was taken about 2 months after the band and the second was taken last weekend at our senior medical school banquet! I am down 130lbs!!! I had more fun picking out that dress than I had picking out my high school senior prom dress. It is the smallest size I have worn since I was like 3 yrs old!!!

Hi everyone,

I am attaching my pics as I said I would once I got below 259. My weight today was 255.6 pounds and I took the pictures today. My before pics were at the weight just before surgery at 283.

I can only hope my pictures will bring just as much inspiration as all the other posters before me have done for me. I do still have a long way to go, in fact nearly another 100 pounds, but NOTHING is going to stop me from reaching my goal! Keep up the good work everybody!

Fix picture size

I especially just would like to show a difference in my face. Wow! Of course in the first picture I'm not smiling and I have no makeup on. Sorry about that! :)

I keep trying to find some pics of me at my high of 330. I'm really going to have to hunt for it....

You all look so amazing. I posted my puictures on the Feb board but I'll put them here too. The first picture was taken in November just as I was beginning my journey (weight 289) The second picture was taken on my 2 month band anniversary (weight 241):biggrin2:

Well here's my 1 year pics, I'm not exactly where I had hoped I would be by now (I was hoping to be at or closer to 100lbs lost) but a lot of that is because of me not eating and definitely not exercising like I should be...been really hard when you work evening/overnight hours plus overtime.

I was losing at a steady rate, but these last 30-35 lbs have been the hardest to lose..so hopefully the next pic I get a chance to post is me making goal.

Here is me just before surgery and a second pic of me (looking not so hot with no brush and no make up @ camping HAHAHA) almost a year ago. I am down about another 10 since that second pic but don't have a recent full length pic, but i look very close to this still :rolleyes:

I am 11 months out from my surgery. Went to a friend's wedding this past Friday and wore a dress I would have never looked at this time last year. I have lost 75lbs in 11 months.

First pic, my daughter's b-day party. Size 24--notice the grass skirt doesn't even fit all the way around me. (Pardon the stupid face....I didn't want my pic taken!!) Second pic, leaving for a friends wedding--size 12 dress!

Here is a pic of my husband and I, the first pic of us together in awhile since I tend to hide from the camera at parties!
