Here are a few Before and After pics of me. :biggrin:

Ok, I thought I would never do this so here it goes.

Hi all,

Can I share a few new pictures? I am really struggling...was too tight and got a slight unfill and then had surgery....so I've gained just about 10 lbs in a little over a month. now, I do have ToM, but it's still not good.

I figure if I put these pics out there, it may motivate me to put down the freaking ice cream... (What's with me and ice cream???)

These are from a friend's wedding last weekend. I actually felt better about myself at her wedding than I did at my OWN wedding. I felt beautiful...I never ever ever feel beautiful...but I did last week.

As always I'm going to put my awful start photo...

Hey---sorry to write a book..feeling a little sad and out of control..must get back on track...

Here are some new before and current... I won't say after, cause I've still got a bit to go, but I think this shows big progress...

From a size 18w/20w to a 12...

Wow...you guys all look so good! :thumbup:

Here's mine. The ones in pink were taken the night before surgery (9/28/07) and the ones in the brown top were taken 2 days ago. The ones of my face are from a month after surgery and a few weeks ago. I've still got a LOT to lose but I feel soooo much better than I did 10 months ago!

Here are my befores and current pics. Started out 10 months ago a size 26/28 and now wearing size 14 pants.

First one is just before the operation at the dr's office. Second one is 10 mos post op. Minus 130 lbs and almost to goal weight.

These are my 5 month pictures. First pic is pre-op, second pic is 5 months post-op and 81 lbs down. Plus face shots. My 7 year old took the second face shot after a workout, sorry I look crappy. LOL

Sorry! I think I got it now...

COngrats to all!

I am no spring chicken and proof that if you work (eat healthy & exercise) your tool (the band) you can go from Morbity Obese (250) with a BMI of 42.9 to Normal (145) with BMI of 24.9 in 12 months 3 weeks.

Do you ever have those moments when you look in the mirror and think, "Man, my head looks huge compared to my shoulders!"

I like this one--the first time I've looked at a recent picture and didn't have to pick up the before pic to see the difference.

Last summer approx 320 lb (long before surgery)

A couple weeks ago--about 255.

Here is my before and after

as of today i am one year out!

My turn! Wow it feels good to post pics I'm not ashamed of...
