I hit 199 today!!!!! I'm so excited! Its the first time the scale has started with a ONE since probably feshman year of highschool! I don't have too many good shots of me, I'll try to take a better one when I get a new camera, these will do for now though. First pic is about a month before surgery, probably about 227, second pic is on 4th of July, probably about 203.

well here is my monthly update... 2 months out.... i will try to get some body pics updated... but here are the head shots at least...

Everybody is doing such a great job!! Keep up the good work!

Pre-Op vs. One Year Post-Op.....Down 86 lb

-80lbs and a new hair due

I hit my "first" goal of 180 pounds last week and posted some pictures on another thread, but I am becoming addicted to posting pictures :ihih:, so thought I would post here as well :seeya:. It makes me feel so positive about everything when I come to this thread and see everyone's progress!!!!

Blue Blouse - around 350 pounds

Yellowish Blouse - one month before surgery - around 300 pounds

last two pictures - taken last week at 178.8 pounds!!

Ok, I haven't posted pics before because my progress has been slow, but I can finally see a bit of a difference in my face.

Before at 275lb:

Now at 220lb (orange shirt is my "high visibility construction worker" uniform that I have to wear at work, else you wouldn't catch me dead in that colour!):

Before and during, that's just over a 100 lb difference in just over a year

My hubby took some pictures of me today. Thought I'd share my favorite one. Before was February 2008 at 303 pounds. Today I'm 225. That's a 78 pound difference. I love my band!

Latest before and after images - 112 pounds between them.

I think I need to post some progress pics before I become unmotivated.

Sooo....

fix the pictures

heres me 22lbs gone

You all look so amazing!! This thread is soooo inspirational. I haven't lost much weight--34 lbs, but I have decided to post some pics anyway. I am not sure if I can see much of a difference...but then again my weight has gone up and down so many times, I am convinced my body image is totally warped!!!

Here are some face pics:

Hi everybody:

I'm not afraid to wear stripes anymore! What an amazing year it's been. I had surgery on 7/26/07. The updated pics are from 7/26/08. Missed my goal of -150 by my bandiversary, but I did lose 142 since 4/23/07 (didn't update ticker yet).

Since 4/23/07 I've gone from 324 to 182 pounds, size 26/28 pants and 3x tops, to loose 14 pants and size Medium shirts. I've gone from a very inactive, sedentary lifestyle to a physical and active lifestyle. I feel great!

I love, love, love my band and I feel 20 years younger!

Best wishes to all of you. I'll see you at goal - 23 pounds to go!

Sue
