I am not someone who ever thinks of using a camera! But this, while being blurred as to my face, shows my body OK! And my new avatar shows me now rather than 4 years ago. So 4 years older, not quite so skinny! But looking less gaunt! At 139 I was just too thin. Now I feel about right!

and for contrast 2006

Highest 290, Banded - 248 Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.

Happily banded since May 2006. Regain of 28lbs 2013-14. ALL GONE!

But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,

Actually I am almost certain the clothes are the ones I was wearing when I met you in Mystic, over a year ago! I obviously don't change clothes very often!

Hi Joyce, just to say that I had mine around the same time as you & I've lost 36lb so not so different, so I guess its normal! lol

And yes, you look good Kate!!

Joyce, 40lbs in 4 months is as fast if not faster than I did! I lost all my excess weight (109lbs) in just over 15 months. But I can't really remember what went when - it was a long time ago!

If you want to see how the weight went, check out my profile. i did a detailed account for the first 6 months. I also put on there the ways which worked for me!

You are doing really well!
