Hilliary's Weight Loss Journey

Welcome Family & Friends! We are so happy to share with you these images of Hilliary's amazing weight loss.

On 8/15/2007, Hilliary had the Lap-Band Surgery. As of 7/11/2008, she has lost more than 106 pounds lost in less than one year. She looks amazing, and is not slowing down :-)

  • The Full Transformation!  <br />
<br />
Original Outfit:  3X T-Shirt and Size 26 Pants.<br />
New Outfit:       Ladies Large T-Shirt and Size 12 Jeans @ The Gap!
  • When you lose 106 pounds, where does it come from?  EVERYWHERE!  The door in the photo doesn't move much... but Hilliary does... she stands taller now that she's lost all this weight!
  • What a change!  She almost doesn't look like the same person.  Would you have recognized the "new" Hilliary if she passed you on the street???
  • The Lap-Band aides in steady weight loss.  The first yellow dot shows the surgery on 8/15/2007.  Each dot after that represents a "fill" - which is when fluid is added to the Lap-Band to make it more restrictive.  Hilliary has lost an amazing average of 2.16 pounds/week over the past 49 weeks  :-)
  • BEFORE:  October 2006, when we went to a wedding.  She didn't want to pose for pictures because she felt awful about how she looked.<br />
<br />
AFTER:  That's the same dress, but it's now so large that she could fit into it twice!
  • BEFORE:  In 2001, Hilliary fought to lose weight for our wedding.  She got into the 250s, and squeezed into a Size 20 wedding dress.<br />
<br />
AFTER:  Now under 210 pounds, the same wedding dress is so loose that she can bunch up more than 6" of material across the back!
  • BEFORE:  Hilliary had fought to get down to the 250's for our wedding in 2001.  Even here, she wasn't happy with how she looked.  She got up to 315 by 2004.<br />
<br />
AFTER:  Now approaching 200 pounds, the wedding dress is so loose that she can practically take it off over her head while wearing it!!!
  • Hilliary on the left looks sad, because she feels her arm looks huge.  On the right, she is holding up all of the empty loose skin that she's left with since losing 106 pounds.  Isn't it amazing how small her arm really is under all that extra skin?!
