All I have to say is you are gorgeous!!

Haha its so funny because so many people compliment me on my eye brows and I'm like if you only knew what they looked like without makeup lol. I'm a natural blonde so they are pretty much invisible. I just pluck the stray hairs and use an angled brush to fill them in with powder
You all have seriously made my night! Thank you for the boost of confidence!

Thanks all! I'm a sushi addict. I do allow myself to eat it out but really had a craving tonight and wanted something lighter so came up with this lol

Well okay it's not exactly sushi but definitely satisfied my craving for it! I bought these mini nori sheets recently- they had a roasted flavor very yummy and that's when I came up with this idea. I made riceless California rolls
Imitation crab meat
Nori
Sliced avacado
Julliened cucumber
Layed it all out on top of the nori like an open faced sushi and voila! I ate 2 of these guys with a little soy sauce

Just checking in here since its been 5 months. I stalled a bit the last month, wasn't doing as great as I could have but still very happy with my progress this far. Down 90lbs officially!
Highest weight was 379
Date of surgery 359
Today 289

3 month update. Down 77lbs from highest, 57 since surgery.

Haha I love this question (I can't help it, I'm slightly inappropriate as it is) lol. Well I don't know about the inner workings changing...but I've been a fat girl forever, and I've noticed a common 'trait' if you will among big girls is a large 'mons pubis' - yes it's gonna get a little TMI- sorry boys! The mon pubis is that area where the pubic hair grows, and in a lot of big girls that part Is more fatty then regular size woman. I've always had an extra fatty bit down there. When I was younger I thought I was a freak of nature until I met other big girls and was able to compare notes lol. But that area will likely go down after weight loss from what I've heard (I'm pre op also so this is only hear say lol) I've heard that some ladies don't actually loose that fat pad much and wind up needing pubic liposuction (yes that's a thing lol) I'm hoping I loose some of it because in scared it will be noticeable and stick out and people may think I'm 'packing heat' or something LOL this whole ost was TMI, my appologies lol

Omg thank you so much, I was so afraid of going completely bald. I'll rock short hair if I lose 40 pounds !! Hair grows back

You look amazing! We have the same exact starting weight haha so it's great to see someone with my stats (though i would kill for your hips lol seriously you have a great shape! Hope that didn't come off strange lol)
I'm down 89 so far (at 290 now) your doing awesome and look great!

So I guess I should refrain from posting all those nude pics I just took huh? Darn, well PM me if your interested!
I keed I keed!
Well OP I think you look great! So if you decide to ever root for my team... (In my best Carly Ray Jepsen singing voice) Call me maybe!
Okay I'm in a silly mood today lol but point is you look great! And obviously not at all offended here lol

This is encouraging. I'm about 2 and a half months out and recently gained 3 pounds and its killing me! I've been great with eating and even exercise. I'm gonna step up the Water and Protein and hope that helps! Thank you!!

Absolutly. At my heaviest (over 380lbs) I had so much pain. I could hardly walk a block with out pain in my legs. I also have very bad knees and the pain was horrible. Living in NYC and not being able to walk, as you can imagine was horrible. I couldn't live life. Fast forward to now, down 78lbs and I sprint down the block in record time. I'm able to climb subway stairs with ease. I can live life again. I do still have knee pain because I just have bad knees in general but it's night and day compared to where I was. So yes it has improved my pain a million percent!

I'm coming into this challenge late but the V day challenge ended and I need another challenge to motivate me lol
Surgery date 11/14/12
HW 379
SW 359
Today 302
Challenge goal 292
Since I only have a month left 10lbs is kind of ambitious for me especially since I've been stalling lately. So fingers crossed and we will see!!

I guess I'm not the only one who watches too much walking dead haha
Post op I think we all have a better chance of surviving. My pre op self so would have gotten eaten first lol. I think the sleeve is a good post apocalypse choice over RNY or the band- less chance of Vitamin deficiencies, no maintenance like with the band. I think we're good!

Hi you all! I've haven't posted many progress pictures on here so I figured what the heck! I'm 3 months out (about a week late lol) I'm down 77lbs so far. I have a ways to go, but I'm getting there! I feel fantastic! I have so much energy and haven't felt this good since I was 18! I'm down from a size 26/28 to a 22. Only 2 pounds until I get out of the 300's! Can't wait to see a 2!!
Side by sides- first pictures Night before surgery at 359, month 1 330, month 2 316 and month 3 302

I've heard some people say cereal is a no go for them because basically it's the equiviliant for eating and drinking at the same time. I have cereal every now and then and haven't had an issue though.
