I am doing good, one day at a time, chemo completed, and 18 of 28 radiation treatments completed. I'm blessed! I hope u have much success with your surgery! Keep in touch!

I do not take pictures too often, I started my journey (surgery) @ 304 PDS, I am currently 202, my goal is 185, BUT, 6 months into my journey I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer so it was then about survival. As soon as I complete my treatments I will get back to exercising. So, how are you? When was your surgery.

I also had surgery with Dr. T, he is the best, surgery was Jan 22, 2013; Staff was the best, never had any problems from the surgery!

I work for Social Service, I am 6 months post surgery and down 90 pounds

Wow' date=' tempus fugit! A year ago today, I went into surgery weighing 284 lbs. Today, I weigh 195 lbs for total of 89 Lbs lost...SO FAR. My original goal was 140 pounds. While I am still headed in that direction, well see what the future brings. Wile I am very happy with my weightloss to date, I thought I would be further along. Oh, I'm not ungrateful, just anxious. I know that I have made some food choices that I shouldn't have, but I try to shake it off, and stay on task. Some days are better than others. I'm still forcing myself to drink lots of Water. I can say I have gotten much better!

Along with the weightloss, I have gone from wearing a size 24 to a size 14. One day I just stared at a dress in my closet, amazed that it was really mine...in that size! I actually tried on a dress in a size 12, and it fit. Wow. A few other victories....

I CAN NOW:

-shop off the rack, on the main level, not downstairs...behind housewares

-cross my legs without cutting off my circulation

-share a seat on my commuter train without fear of spilling over the center

-run up stairs without gasping for air

-Go shopping with a friend

-tuck my shirt in

-wrap a bath towel around my body

-WEAR LILLY PULITZER....HOORAY!

-sit on furniture without fear of crashing to the floor

***drumroll, please*** I WEIGH LESS THAN MY HUSBAND!!!!!!!!!!

here are a few photos to show my progress thus far. I can't wait to come back in a few months to share my goal photos.

Thank you

Sorry, when I first had surgery I counted carbs, Protein etc. Now, I just eat healthy and drink alot of Water. I hate Protein drinks. Im just starting to exercise again. I had slacked up when I returned to work, but Im getting to a routine now.
