540 pounds summer 2010 . 490 pounds surgery day November 2011. 360 pounds June 2012. Hopefully this inspires people that need to lose 150+ pounds. it is possible and i am living proof. stay strong and stay positive everyone.

Last year in Sept., the first photo was taken. I was on a tour through Turkey, and we were traveling by minibus. Nobody wanted to sit next to me - simply because there wasn't enough space next to me! I felt terrible! That was when I decided to do something drastic! I had the lapband operation on 23 October 2012. I've lost 25kg since then - the second photo was taken a week ago, 5 April 2013. I'm on my halfway mark. I need to lose 25kg more. I feel like a different person! It has been incredibly hard work! Anyone who thinks that the lapband is an easy way out, needs to do some research about how it really works. It is merely a tool, and if you don't follow the - very strict - dietry rules, it won't work. Blessings to everybody else on their weightloss missions! Don't ever give up...

1st picture 236 pounds/ 2nd Picture 8 month out 180pounds

This is how my face has changed in six months. I'm only half-way now...

Me in 2007 weighing 325+ lbs(26/28) and me in 2012 weighing around 204lbs(16/18). I've posted both of the pics before, but I am reposting (for myself) to help me get back on track. I still have about 30 lbs that have haunted e for the last 2-3 years that I need to lose. Pics like this and the phenomenal ones that you guys post help me remember how far ive come and encourage me to continue my journey.
