New Pics of me at 155 pounds.

These are my first progress pics. -50lbs.

OK...I haven't posted in a very long time but I'm getting really close to my goal so I figured I would post some pics. I'm really excited with my "new" body but I'll be even more excited when I have my lower body lift in the spring. I can't wait. Well...here goes...

Well, I said I wouldn't do this until goal, and I don't have any full body pics, but here are some of the difference in my face. The first one was taken in November shortly before I was banded. The second one was taken last night (with no makeup on, what was I thinking?)

The band is one of the best things I ever did for myself. Physically I feel so much better than I did a year ago. And it is nice to be able to wear cuter clothes too! :thumbup:

Thought i would add a new close up pic to compare with an old pic. I am down 115 lbs.

Started at 285

Goal 220

Now 207

Thanks for the advice over the last 9 months. I got done to 197 but didn't lose the flab on the belly so I am done for now at a safe weight for 6'3.

Its been quite a while since I dropped in - I have had a huge 12 mths.

My marriage ended, I lost my job and my daughter left home against my wishes.

I have finally got my own place now and have settled back in so thought Id pop in with an update.

I am now down 50kgs/110lbs woooohooooo!!!!

I'm not at goal yet- but I'm pretty proud of where I've gotten so far! Buying size 8's now- and I haven't seen that number in 15 years!

I didn't take a before pic on my surgery date of May 19th. The first pic I took was on July 12th and I had already lost 38 lbs. The second pic is on Sept 21st and down 60.8 lbs, front and side views.
