DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703 Posted October 5, 2013 I still have another 30-35 pounds to lose, but it's my most recent "before and after" 228 pounds lost (so far). The before pic was the day of my surgery 20 months ago. The after pic is my daughter and I both in the pants from the before pic. 18 Jim1967, Kai-shek, *sjr* and 15 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stacyp83 30 Posted October 5, 2013 That is AMAZING!!! You are such an inspiration!! How fast did your weight come off in the beginning? I am losing but some days I get discouraged and just want to cry. It's almost like I feel like i will be stuck at 190 for ever. But seeing before and after pictures like yours really helps motivate me and gives me hope and encouragement! :-) maybe one day i will be able to post some good before/after photos! 3 DELETE THIS ACCOUNT!, ☠carolinagirl☠ and Kai-shek reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At the beginning it came off really fast- but when you're starting over 400 pounds the weight does come off a lot faster. Now that I'm down into the 100's, I'm lucky to lose 5-8 pounds a month. Don't ever give up. It just takes a lot longer the smaller you get. 5 Debbie3sons, ☠carolinagirl☠, Jim1967 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stacyp83 30 Posted October 5, 2013 I'm barely in the 100's but it is a good feeling, almost a relief! I have to keep reminding myself of how far I've come & not how much longer i have to go because I get frustrated! But I'm going to just keep swimming lol 2 ☠carolinagirl☠ and Julie norton reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kitt3000 757 Posted October 6, 2013 How long do you have to go? The rest of your life, it's your journey, not a destination. Trying to enjoy the journey, and not become stuck, that's my goal. The people here are here whenever I need to push past or be inspired. Grateful . 1 ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jamilyne 102668 1,207 Posted October 6, 2013 Yay for you! I can't wait to be in the 100s. I've got 20 pounds to go - but closer than I was 3 weeks ago when I had surgery weighing in at 240. Missy - you look so good! That's how you can tell that this is hard work and you've done so good! And your daughter is a cutey pie Congrats to everyone Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk 4 Debbie3sons, DELETE THIS ACCOUNT!, stacyp83 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
