Photo time...

There seems to be very few lapbanders who post here so I thought I'd put up a pic too. It's on my profile. I'm 52lbs down since June 20. Well done everyone

Hi Sharyn! OMG you look fantabulous! you are doing excellent!!!! keep up the great work hon!!!!! Sharyn I am speaking from my heart............ I WISH EVERYONE would post here reguardless of what type surgery they had it does NOT matter! we are all in the obesity fight together and the important thing to remember is that we are all on the same page and work in progress,and we need to keep the support going. This board is for EVERYONE and ALL surgery types. You are a June baby and are a very important part of our family FOREVER!.......PLEASE PLEASE stop by more and stay with us! (((hugs))) Nancy

I love how your hubby has on the same outfit in both pictures... you are looking great!! Its always amazing to see the before and after pictures. I know when I look at my before photos I always think to myself "I didnt really look that way!!!" I am finally starting to look on the outside how I feel I looko on the inside!

Sharyn, I'm with Nancy, glad you decided to post. Lori

You look wonderful Sharyn! Congrats! Carolyn

hay carolyn you look great how much have you lost I think Ive read things you worte before I wont to be 135 I weigh 168 now I it starting to move slow Im a size 10 thats great but I wont to be less weight Ive only lost 11 pounds since my last doctors apt I hope to be 155 by christmas I hope .kim it been almost 5 months doing you think useing 5 pound weights are bad I worry about gaining I was useing 2 I just started using 5 . kim

Hi Kim, Right now I weigh 147 which is 75lbs down from surgery and 85 from pre-op. I'm wearing an 8 or 10 depending on the cut. My original goal was 140, but I'm feeling a little more ambitious now so I dropped my goal to 130. My weight loss has definitely slowed in the past few weeks, but I'm good with that because it gives me some time to get my head around it. I wouldn't worry about using 5lb weights. Even if it slows your lbs lost it will speed up your inches lost. Right now I'm using 15lb dumbells for bicep curls, and I use fairly high weights on the nautilous machines too. I have pictures on my profile and the difference between the 3 & 4 months pictures is only 11 lbs but the weight lifting made a big difference Carolyn

hay thank for the tip about the weights Ill do that how many times are you exerciseing a week ? its been 5 months for you right ? I will be 5 months in nov 12th . I have alot of under arm fat thats why I wont to use 5 Lbs . KIM

Thank you everyone. Much appreciated

You look great, Sharyn!
