oh wow- thanks for all the compliments- yes i do have before and after pics- i will post... and YES i was big! I started off at 242 on 8/25/09 - and when I hit my 9 month and 1 week mark I was down to 134.(108 lb loss) I did gain back 4.6 lbs on my honeymoon- but i am working on getting that off now. Again, thanks for all the great compliments...

I just have to say you are beautiful both before and after!!! Congrats on your weightloss :thumbup: Starting out you are close to my size, do you have any problems with extra skin? And do you have any advice or tips???

Congratulations!! To you ... you look so HAPPY . and i am happy for you .. I have lost a total of 59 pounds ...17 pounds sence my banding .. 5-10-10 so i think that is good .. it just has not gone to fast sence .. but i am trying .. my 1st fill is 6-22-10 ( good luck to you . ) the 41 pounds was befor my surgery ..lol :thumbup:

WOW.....You look amazing. Good for you.

Extra skin- yes i have some- but have noticed with time it is getting better although I dont think it will all go away on its own. As for tips, I logged all my daily foods in calorie counter website... and I watched for trends on what made me lose and what made me stall out. I didnt eat any type of bread, pasta, chips, potatoes... I was at restriction and I knew that anything I ate needed to be protein becuase my body needed it. Every once in a while I would have a treat but honestly didnt want them that much. I stayed away from slidder foods... and sweets.... If I had a sweet tooth I would eat a weight watchers ice cream bar-- I devoted alot of time to realizing what was head hunger and what was my body actually hungry. I came out of surgery with a positive outlook that this was the beginning of my new life and that failure was not an option..... I paid too much to fail... and went to the extreme of surgery. I know it was ALOT of hard work and sacrifices while getting the weight off however, looking back it seems like it was the easiest thing I have ever done. So weird for me now.

I am just starting the journey and YOU are my inspiration! Great job!

You look amazing! Congrats!! All the best.
