I've currently got 1 1/4" lobes along with ~00g lobes that I'm not currently wearing anything in. I've also got a labret, snake bites, and bridge as far as facial piercings and belly button of course.
My lobes are currently going through a period of hell, it got super dry here lately with the colder weather and both of my lobes split along the inside since they were still a relatively fresh stretch, so even putting lots of vitamin e oil on before bed didn't keep them moist throughout the night. I'm on antibiotics now to try to bring down the swelling and heal up the splits, tons of pain though. Still worth it.
I didn't even feel my labret and actually stretched it from the original 16g up to 14g after 2 weeks of having it because I found a better selection of 14g bars for it. My snake bites were some of the worst when it came to healing, my whole bottom lip swelled up so huge I could barely talk, it was ridiculous. They finally healed up after a few weeks but still get a little irritated now and then and require extra sea salt cleaning.
I think I'm going to have to be done stretching my lobes though, I really don't think I have enough thickness left in them to safely stretch any further. I'm pretty happy with 1 1/4" though, although it's so hard to find plugs at that size that aren't ridiculously expensive. I've currently got in a pair of clear acrylics, but also have some wooden tear drop shaped plugs and another custom pair of a different wooden tear drop shape on the way.
And below are a couple pictures of them all. The top one shows the wooden tear drop plugs with a sea shell inlay, pretty sweet for only $25. Barebones organics has some nice plugs and bodyartforms.com has some of the best of all body jewelry, I order from them constantly.
