This month marks 1 year since my surgery, and I have lost almost 50kgs. I do not intend on losing any more weight, just want to be a little more toned.

Congratulations on an amazing effort and achievement. What a fantastic contrast in your photos. Is the blue dress photo a teaser for your official photo shoot?

Thanks guys, the issue is out this coming Monday. The photo in the blue dress is an unofficial shot I asked the stylist to take.

Thanks for all your lovely comments guys. I don't know about being an inspiration (makes it sound like I have done something profound to help all mankind!), but I do know that if I can get to this point, there is not much stopping everyone on here from getting to their goals. If nothing else, it shows the naysayers, the friends and family of potential bandits that the band IS an effective tool when you work with it.

BackinBlack, the excess skin is definitely there, it is just hidden hehe. Not that I am complaining, cos it is a small price to pay for my better health. In fact, during the photo shoot the stylist had to take bulldog clips and clip the back of the dress in behind my back. I was contemplating pocketing the clips and using them UNDER my clothes to hold all the skin back!!
