My sister ways helping me out with encouragement, so I can see the difference, as I still see myself as the " big girl" it can be done and feeling pretty grateful for my sleeve! Haven't posted for awhile but always checking in

Congrats, that's awesome! Yes you are right we will get there! Just takes time

Congrats, what an accomplishment

Thanks, I feel great and I'm healthy and my knees love me again I am about 70lbs away from my personal goal, but I'd be happy with the 160-170 range, I feel that I can do it just need a little hard work to finish it off! I just want to loose my 17 lbs so I can say I'm in the 100s and ten easy peazy, small goals will make it easier! How are you doing on your 10 month journey?

Thank you for all the support guys;) I couldn't even imagine another year in my previous skin

First of all thank you so much! I feel great, and can't wait for the rest to disappear, but learning that my small goals are more attainable There should be a little + icon at the top right corner when you go to reply to a thread or start a new thread, you click on that and it should, take you to another screen where it's add from library or camera, choose one and voila

More pictures from the beginning

Yes, it's funny how we're way harder on ourselves now I feel like that big girl still trying on little people clothes and hoping my skin suit will fall off! I often wonder if our skin will tighten with exercise and my front bum will go away or at least that what I call it, and I often wonder if the skin under my as is going to help me take flight when I wave...

I was have a shower today and when I was shaving my legs I noticed that I had a back and a butt. I wasn't moving parts around, I wasn't kinking my neck and I surely wasn't fighting my rolls to shave my legs... I found it, lol I found that when I look behind me I don't have move folds and rolls, now I can see behind me straight down to my feet! I love it, still have some roll but not as much as before! Love love my sleeve:) Oh and I found that my hair no longer falls out at 7 months but find little pieces sticking up every where like I have static cling, and those are my little hairs growing back:) Just wanted to share my happiness:)

Yes it's always a good day when hair grows back! I was just at the hair dressers today and she said its coming in fuller and thicker! Thank you sleeve, so many things, to be thankful for!

Yes that's the part of it I line too, I no longer have to ask my boyfriend or my daughter to paint my toes, I love that... I actually love the fact I can see my toes, this is awesome.

Thanks ladies it is awesome! I love seeing things that I have not seen either ever or for a very long time! Loosing 91 pounds so far has made me find things are possible and can't wait to experience more! It's kind of like a treasure hunt! Hope you guys are enjoying your sleeve, and are doing well! I also love the fact I can tie my shoes without wanting to pass out! congrats on the victories so far ^^^^ ladies!

Is it true after 6 months you don't continue to loose the weight like you first did? I'm just 6 months out and have lost 80lbs and loving it, once was 318lbs... Now down to 238lbs! My goal is 140 so that means I have 98 more to loose! Do any of the veteran sleevers know if this is going to stop? I had a month and half stall and just with in the last 2 weeks dropped 10lbs! Scared to death, well maybe not death but nervous it isn't going to happen:)

These are my firsts from 320 to 250 the red shirt is in the 250"s Then green shirt is in the 220"s Just 70 more pounds to go till I get to goal

No apologies I am exactly 7 months out as of yesterday;) I stalled bad at the 5 month mark for at least a month or maybe more, I got frustrated and quit looking at the scale and just added lots more Water, exercise and a Protein shake. It will come, I find I'm still loosing about 7-10 lbs a month and don't loose any before my Tom.. There's lots of info on here and tons of help, everyone stalls some more then others, don't be hard on your self.. The more you stress the harder it is to loose. Good luck you can do it!

Thanks guys, it is a great feeling, I think I was this small one when I was in my 20"s I love the feeling... The only I don't like is when I hear OMG you look amazing and I think to myself I didn't before? My scrub tops I sold for 15 dollars a piece and they are the Cherokee brand with the flexible sides, and 10 bucks for the pants, if your selling sets I'd sell them between 25 and 30 dollars a set, depending on the wear in the legs:) that's what I've been selling too all 3x and size 22-24 pants.. I didn't think I'd make money but when you pay 50.00 dollars do something you hope to get something out them, I sold all my good t-shirts for 10 dollars, my hoodies for 20, certain mxm pants for 25.00 and most of them so people still want to but them, I just posted it on our local by and sell viola:) So so happy, hope you gals can do the same, and lets keep rocking all the benefits of the sleeve:)

So excited, almost 7 months out and down 90lbs, I've been contemplating getting rid of my old clothes for awhile, I've gave a majority of them away but really should have sold them! I ways bought quality plus size clothing at Addition Elle. I thought hey, why give clothes away when I payed lots of money to clothe my old body, and now that they new has changed and I'm needing new clothes lets just sell them, I made 160.00 dollars today just getting rid of some old work scrubs and some hoodies! This will help me buy new clothes, I love it.. So excited I thought I'd share... Just not wanting to sell the new silver jeans I bought in November first pair of silver jeans and they now fall down when I walk, let's hope I have nothing in my hands...

That happens to me all the time and it's heartburn! It's crazy I never used to know the difference between heartburn and hunger! But it's heartburn for me, it's crazy uncomfortable! I'm using a pill called tecta it works well:)

I went shopping today for some new scrubs to wear to work, have been off for over a year! My 3x scrubs no longer fit! I squealed with delight when I could squeeze myself into an xl shirt and pants! That's something I have not done since I was in my teens:) so so happy, I can't wait to go back to work looking amazing!

Thank you so much guys, I still remain disciplined in my eating habits, I always eat my Protein first and getting in my fluids! And I will be exercising my little butt off! Your right I just wanted to know if this is really it but for me I know I'm going to make sure I get to wear I want to be by choosing my new new tool and and doing what it takes to get there! I know I can get to goal, and I'm going to do it, I just wanted some advice and stats on it and everyone's opinions;) thank you, to you all I love coming on and knowing you guys have wonderful things to say!

I also get a runny nose when I am full, or feel full! I wanted to post the same question, glad you did;)
