Congrats to everyone on there weight loss. Everyone looks so good..

It's been four months since my surgery so here is the latest update.

The first one was taken at my high weight of 289 on 11/29/07, the second one was taken on 6/16/08 at 227

I haven't posted any pictures on the main picture thread. It's been only a couple of months since I was banded. Here goes...I hope these show up okay and that I'm doing this right...lol

Here are a few pics of my progress so far.

2/23 pics are 5 days pre-op at highest weight of 350 lbs.

5/26 pics are at 3 months out at about 288 lbs.

6/18 pic is one I took yesterday of myself at 281 lbs. I usually take them once a month so it isn't an "official" 4 month pic yet.

I was always super nervous about posting in this thread, but shit. I'm going to go for it.

This one is from November & I weigh about 279lbs

I know I just shared photos last week, but I'd like to share these from the other day...What a difference a year makes... I am so proud of myself...it's ridiculous!!!

Best decision of my life!

Decided to use a new 'before'. My senior pic. I have officially gone into sizes I never wore before!!! WOOHOO.

I went straight from old ladies clothes at 10 years old into men's big sizes.

Gone from a 54x30 pants to a 40x32. From 400 lbs. to 299!!!!! Had surgery on 11/28/07

I can't explain how good I feel now. I did PUSHUPS the other day! only 3 of them, mind you. But Hey, they were pushups!!!!

First picture is my Pre-op collage

Second is about half way. Sometime in March

Third was last week. That is my 3 1/2 yr old.

Fourth is a head shot from the same day with my 6 mo. boy.

Here are my before and during pics (74 lbs down). The first ones (pink top) were taken the day before surgery and I'd just gotten home from the gym when I remembered I needed to take before photos, so I look sweaty and horrible.
