This thread has been an inspiration to me so I figured it was time to give back. I’m not quite where I want to be yet, but I couldn’t be happier with my progress so far.

The first picture is from about 1 year before surgery at 280lbs. The last 3 pictures were taken today at about 190lbs (down about 95lbs total).

My before pics are 20 pounds lighter than when i had surgery because i could not find any others.

The pics on here have really been an inspiration to me in the past and now that i am at goal i can post here!

I'm going to try to post a before/after picture.

My one year anniversary is in a few days.

I've lost approx. 50lbs. I could be a lot further along but I'm still working on food issues.

My before picture was taken about 1 week after my 09/04/08 surgery. After photo taken 1 year later on 09/04/09. I have lost 91 pounds since surgery. Still need to lose at least 20 more pounds. I have been extremely fortunate with my lap band. I've had very, very few problems or issues during this first year. I've met some great people on this website who have been a terrific support to me.

Everyone looks great!

This is a picture I took a few days ago. I haven't had a chance to weight myself in a week or so but last weight I was at was 250. Down over 100 pounds!

Before picture is about a year and a half ago.

I'm coming up on my one year bandiversary, and thought I'd post a photo - just because.

I'm close to my initial goal, but pretty obviously still have a ways to go to get to my final destination. Still, I'm pretty happy with my progress and don't mind that it's slowed down considerably.

It's amazing how much more comfortable I am in my own body now.

Hope everyone is doing well and keeping plugging away at it.

Had a go at one of those montage thingies. Before and after shots from Dec 08 through to now. 31lbs total.

OK, so I'm not at goal, yet. I have some distance to go. But I've been working out a lot, lately, and my body is tightening up. I loved looking through this thread when I was getting ready to get my band, so felt I'd add newer B/A pics of myself.

And here's an "ohmygodican'tbelievei'mpostingthisanditwon'tstayforlong!"

:seeya::eek::blushing::eek: I'm good with the "after." The "before" is freaking scary and I won't be leaving this pic up forever...no f'in way. LOL But if I can help a person or two, I guess I have to bite the bullet.

Hi everyone

here is my before, 1 year out and a couple weeks ago. The last one is not great, but we had to take pics for an accident report. sorry. 10lbs to my first ultimate goal, and 35 to where I want to be forever! It has been a long journey but I've learned to like me and to change how I eat and live, I would do it over in a minute!

1st 278 not even my worst!:seeya:

2nd 225

3rd 187
