I was looking through my Christmas photo's and had a look at Christmas 2010 - I have finally come to terms with my new body and being that it's hot in Melbourne we have been down the beach everyday and I can't say how liberating it's been frolicking with my almost husband and children in minimal clothing - as I said to my sister yesterday it's like I have been re-born. I no longer care about my slightly flabby arms or my stretch marks this is me.

2010 ( the pic of me with my children I have blacked them out as they are minors ) - 108.7kg ( I checked my weight loss log) I started the journey at the end of March 2010 at 137kg.

Good on you, Kelly. All the hard work, the plateaus etc are well worth it. I agree with you. I no longer care about the flabby bits etc, I work hard at the gym and figure that this is me in all my glory.
I too have followed your story with interest and have taken on board a lot of what you have mentioned about the gym. It has become such a way of life for me now that I can recognise the changes in my attitude if I miss sessions. I also have a personal trainer and it is probably one of the best things I have done since the surgery.
Best wishes for your upcoming wedding - as someone who has been happily married for 29 years to the man I consider my soulmate - I can thoroughly recommend it.
Take care:)
Donna

This is one pic I've been hanging out to see, but couldn't open it on my phone, so had to wait until we flew home and I could get my hands on a PC.
It was worth waiting for!!!!

Thanks everyone I certainly wouldn't take back anything that has happened in the 21 months I have been banded - today I have a dress fitting to have my wedding dress altered so I am hoping it's not too big that altering will loose it's shape I am a tab scared tbh ( in a strange way happy) and I can't wait to crack the last 8kg come feb 2nd :)
