How have we all done?

The only thing I regret about this board is that we don't have signatures. We are all vets and so have all got success stories but we don't know always what they are. And as I dropped out of the main LB board ages ago, I am out of touch. Anyone fancy sharing? Here's mine! Heaviest ever 294 Banded May 2006 at 248, US dress size 24, BMI 43 Currently 148, US dress size 10-12, BMI 24.8 Maintaining happily for 6 months in the 145-154 range. Kate

Kate thats awesome! You have done very well. I would have a hard time staying away from the pastries where you live...lol. day before surgery 240 current 155 Goal 150 but I will probably adjust it to 145ish In the last 10lbs I have dropped two bra sizes. And my new bra is loose. This is after dropinng about 70lbs without much change in that area. Its so strange how our bodies decide where we are going to lose it. I might buy my 3rd bra size in 2 months today. Thats just one area that needs to fit right...lol. The pants can be loose, but you get what Im sayin...

Good idea, Kate! You have done outstanding! We ALL have! We are SO fortunate! Starting weight: 290: BMI:49. something Starting sizes: tops, 30-32, slacks, 42-44 Banded: 2-13-04 Currently 155: size 10-12 Maintaining over 3 years

Kate, You didn't misread; I have a typographical error in my statistics. My surgery date is 10/23/06. Thank you, Kate, for catching my unintentional mistatement of fact.
