Jerrikoe68 reacted to hollirrose in 11 1/2 Months Out/200 lbs lost/With Pics
I always enjoy before and afters. Here are mine!
I lost 200 lbs in about 11 months. I started in 24's and 3/4 X shirts. My BMI was 53 and is now 22. I now wear 2/4 pants and med/large shirts. I am 5'7. I had an apple shape before and now I am still an apple...just smaller! So jealous of the hour glass folks.
I ate about 600 calories a day/ less than 20 carbs/more than 64 oz fluid/more than 60 Protein. I truly believe, for me anyhow, the key is low carbs. I weigh, track, log every bite of food on MFP (hollirrose). I had a handful of times that I ate off plan but never for more than a meal or day.
I don't work out that often. I walk some but not consistently. Overall I am more active.
I get the most private messages about skin. I have it. My arms are awful, my upper thighs sag, my tummy will never be flat. For the most part..I think I look normal in clothes. It all tucks in pretty nicley and if I wear shapewear..I almost look skinny. Naked, I look a little like an emancipated shar pie!

Jerrikoe68 got a reaction from Ms skinniness in didn't think it would be so fast
That's very exciting! I meet with my surgeon next Tuesday. He requires a recommendation from my primary care doc and clearance from a cardiologist and a pulmonologist. I only have the visit with the cardiologist left to do. I hope everything goes pretty quick for me as well.
