Big goal met!

[JamiefromJersey 0]

Ok, so at the beginning of all this I weighed in at 430lbs. I did the weight watchers thing for a bit and got down to 360lbs over a period of a year or so. After struggling back and forth for another year, I made the decision to get banded. I was banded on August 6th of this year, at 357lbs. I al proud to say that I have met one of my first goals...I weighed in at 297lbs this week. I have FINALLY broken the 300 pound barrier. I have 57 more pounds to go and I am very excited at the idea of reaching my goal. Just wanted to share...with a bit of hard work and determination we can all get there, that I've learned.

Just curious, have you got a before and after picture? I love looking at those!

I always try to imagine what my after picture will look like :laugh:

I do have a before pic when I weighed my heaviest, one I took the day after the surgery and I have to get my wife to take a present pic although technically it would be a middle pic because 240lbs is my true goal. I'll see about posting them up...lol.

Awesome!! Yours is gonna look fantastic, I can just imagine.

Sometimes I google before and after pictures when I need some motivation. I've only lost 13 kilos (28 lbs) but when I look at my before pictures I can see that a lot of the fat folds around my tummy are gone.

This makes me smile. You're an inspiration!!

And me this past weekend at a friends bday party...a bit under 300 lbs.

Be gentle! lol.
