Yesterday I rode my bike for 7 mi. it was great and I felt amazing afterward..going to try getting to my moms house this time its 13.2 miles away.. I'm gonna have her on standby in case I get too tired and she has to pick me and my bike up..lol

I guess I'm more interested in expanding my options in clothes than in men.. I can't wait to go shopping in my new body.. .that's what really get me excited in this journey I'm about to go on..

Weight before surgery= 310
Date of surgery 8/14/12
Current weight 272
Goal weight for competition 250... We'll see lol..
I LOVE Halloween..and this year I'm gonna be the sexy pirate! So lets do this!

Hi ladies. I'm so happy that we got a good little August group going. Today I bought a bike and went for a long ride I wanna get on a fitness regimen. So that's my little victory for today.

Finally some August people ! I'm going to Dr.Almanza in Mexico, my surgery is on the 14th..I'm so excited it's all I think about...I am 303 last time I checked..and 5'9 and a size 22. I hope to get down to 150.. I have to do a 1 week liquid diet. I'm making changes to how I eat from now. So it's not so hard in the future. I read these forums far too much lol...and really am scared that I will have a stall like some people mention. I just plan to stick to the plan religiously and not cheat. I'm going to start waking and riding my bike.

Nice post. very inspiring

(Sort of) an NSV for me... 15 days post-op, down 18 pounds; 83 total in 5 months. I met a guy on match.com shortly before surgery and today we finally were able to have our first date. (He knows I had surgery but not what kind.)
So guess what we did on our "date"... went SWIMMING!!! Yes, I was in a bathing suit on a first date with a guy!!! I was freaked out but he's been so complimentary of me it quickly faded. I can still wear my old bathing suits but it was nice not to have my belly peak out between my top and bottom. And I have complained about my boobs shrinking but now they actually FIT into the top and look perky and round instead of falling out all over the place! Big win for Kelly today!

Hello everyone!
I am planning on going to Mexico in mid-August. I'm very excited and can’t wait to lose this weight. I'm 5'9 303 lbs. and a size 22. I speak fluent Spanish as my family is Dominican so I have no worries with communication. I have family that have been to DR for surgery so I'm familiar with "3rd world country" medical facilities.
My goal is to get down to 150 lbs... So basically 1/2 my sizes then depending on how I look after the weight loss I plan to get a full body makeover if needed.
I live in south FL so if anyone in my area is going to be having this done around the same time I’m looking for a sleeve buddy...
Thanks for reading my post!
Hugs

I'm August 14 and I'm super excited... Can't wait to hear how you do

me and my sleeve sister that I met from FL are both students in the medical field and we will have one week between surgery and when we have to go back to school, we are nervous but believe in ourselves and have faith in God to help us get through it. It will be hard, but it will be worth it, and it is do able, good luck

I was sitting at my parents house tonight with my 3 year old and realized I was crossing my legs! I haven't (comfortably) been able to cross my legs for a while. Made me happy.
