Been having a down moment, especially with my good "friend" TOM visiting but since I'm 1/3 of the way there, I'd say it's time to post. Don't look at the hair...

Before and during in my signature...Almost coming up on my 3 month anniversary...I am really happy with my progress. Down 20-ish pounds or so (not weighing) and I feel GREAT!

I remember the first time coming here and hoping one day I could post a picture in here, and though I'm not at goal yet, I think I've come a good distance to post a before and "so far" picture here. Since my weight potrudes from front to back, I'm just posting pics taken of me from the side. I actually look almost the same from the front except my face has shrunk a lot, but the difference is from the side.. I don't know why I'm so nervous posting in here.. lol. Now if I could just get rid of that upper fat roll, I'd be REALLY happy.

Hi everyone. I weighed in today, have lost 34 since surgery on May 27th, 64 since I began trying to lose in November.

Had my second fill last Thursday, and the scale has started moving again. WAHOO! Wanted to post a picture here. It´s very much in progress, but think I´m doing good so far. You all have been inspirational to me, thanks for all the photos!

Haven't posted in some time...lurking though. Had my surgery Dec 20 2007, had to have band emptied in April 2008, starte refills in June & August. Started at 22 pounds, now at 195...Was wearing size 20/22, now in a 14/16...BMI tarted at 44 & now 33. I am objective of he scale numbers, as I work out 1 - 2 hours a day, so my measurements & clothes reflect my loss more than the numbers on the scale at times....mnILENE

I generally stick to my monthly thread but thought I'd put this up for everyone. I will say that my band has been my best and worst friend over the last year and a half, but earlier this week I was able to wear my sister and my 17 year old neices JEANS! This is a major NSV... and it almost brought me to tears. My neice can't even fit into the jeans I wore, and so she GAVE them to me.......... they are 11/12 Aerostatle (sp?)

My NOW pic was taken yesterday on my sons first day of Kindergarten... looking at the pic.. HE IS WHY I'M DOING THIS! To be the active, hip, and normal sized mom!

The before pic was taken April 1, 2007 and I weighed in at 272 lbs,

yesterday I was 177.....

Today is my six month bandiversary. I weighed in at Curves this morning at 213. My high weight was 289 so I am down 76 lbs. in six months. I have lost 63 lbs since surgery.

The first two were taken about three months prior to my surgery at my highest weight. The last two were taken this morning.

Grats, Gal!!

I have decided it's time. I have a looooong way to go, but I am so happy that I had to share.

#1 is before.

#2 and 3 are at just under 8 weeks or so, down 35lbs or so.

#4 is at 11 weeks or so, down 50ish lbs.

#5 was something I posted to the May group, I thought it was interesting.

#4 and 5 are already out of date (woot!) but you get the idea.

PS - Forgive the cell phone mirror shots, please. Me and my camera's auto timer don't get along. LOL
