MamaMichelle Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 Can’t believe it’s been 5 months for me, and I am quite happy that I have lost 48lbs! I only lost 6lbs in the past month so there’s really not much difference in the dress pics so I thought I would break out the bikini pics I have been hiding lol… Don’t ask me what possessed me to try on this suit at 226lbs the day before I was banded much less to capture it on film but I figured that there would come a time where clothes were going to be hiding my progress and I guess we are at that point, I actually thought I had lost this suit when I did my big closet clean out in May so I don’t have pics in it from 6/28 and 7/28 but I came across it in a drawer in the laundry room so I decided to start up with the swimsuit pics again! So here I am 5 months post band and down 48lbs! Click to see the full size!

OICU812 Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 Is that one of those Las Vegas showgirls. Me Likee. Makes me wish I had taken a few pics with my leather thong on, but I didn't have a wide angled lense.
C1BandedBabe Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 You look great!!!! You are soooo brave!
mom12 Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 Awesome Michelle, Your progress is incredible. You should still do the Dress ones because sometimes what you can't see, others can.
Kimmy in MD Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 WOW Michelle!!!! Way to go. I so wish I had been diligent like you in tracking this progress with photographs! Keep up the great work!!
MamaMichelle Posted July 31, 2008 Author Report Posted July 31, 2008 Awesome Michelle,Your progress is incredible. You should still do the Dress ones because sometimes what you can't see, others can. I took them I just didn't see much difference, but maybe you are right... I will size the down and crop them together and post them later today!!

Congratulations on your hard work paying off and thanks for sharing it with us. It's inspiring. I love that your belly button shape is changing so much. Gives me hope.

JGirl Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 Weigh to go *snicker* Thanks for continuing to give others some of your positive attitude and STRENGTH! Janet
denisem Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 Thanks for being so brave and transparent for all of us! You really do look fantastic! You'll probably be one of the few who doesn't end up needing any plastic surgery done after reaching your goal. It looks like you are toning up nicely from all your workouts. Keep up the great work and thanks again for continuing to inspire so many of us. Denise

So here I am 5 months post band and down 48lbs! Click to see the full size! Hey MM, I was curious do you have a diet that you can post? You are doing so well and I would like to see what you are doing.. I am so afraid to eat too much, I think that freaks me out. I started weight trainnng this week, but that freaks me out too. Muscle weighs more than fat,, So I end up going back on the shakes and drinks. I am down 23 lbs and getting my first fill on the 12th, I don't like being so scared all the time. My journey has sucked like everyone has but I really don't want to fail AGAIN!! my joureny has been along and terrible one... i want success!Thanx... XO Lisa..
Roro Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 Michelle.... you look amazing just after 5 months... your truely an inspiration to a new bandit like myself. xox :girl_dance:
Paula Bee Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 WTG Michelle! You are looking so great, and I am very proud of you. You keep me inspired...ole lady chasing after young lady.. lol... I gotta rep for the over 50 crowd. The thought of me in a bikini? Oh the eyes, how they burn!!!
