Here's a pic of me and my daughter after crossing the finish line!

Congrats to all February sleevers. Everyone is doing and looking great.
Today is my anniversary, I am down 78lbs from surgery and 83 from my heaviest. Its been a slow go but a go none the less. I have watched everyone who lost 100 and above and been jealous but it will come for me in due time.
People see me and can't believe how good I look. Strangers that see me workout tell me I'm looking good.

The compliments keep motivated. I workout 7 days a week for 1 and a 1/2. Some days I go twice. I can run on the treadmill without being winded. I climb stairs without being winded. I run upstairs without being winded. No need for a seat belt extender. My shoes feel loose. I can see my collar bones. My clothes dont fit.
I have been wearing 3 pairs of jeans that my daughter gave me and those are getting loose. plan to go shopping in the next 90days. Today my ego took a hit, got fitted for a bra; was wearing 46dd she measured me a 40ddd or 42dd. I fit the 40ddd, it was tight with lots of extra skin hanging over the top. I was hoping for better. I guess I have some work to do in the next 90days.

Winningbylosing, you look fabulous and are doing wonderfully! It is hard not to be envious of those who lose quickly, hit their goals, lose 100 lbs etc. but I try to turn it to inspiration instead.
I've lost a good 60 over this year and want 20-40 more but I treasure my young male coworker who asked me did I really need to lose more because I already look so good. Dear boy!!
I value my new abilities to use and enjoy my body and know I will have to literally work my ass off to get where I want to and it won't be tomorrow but cheers to you and cheers to all who are working this and improving their quality of life

Congrats on a great accomplishment! Isn't it great when people comment about the picture on our CDL's... I just worry that one day someone will say hey this isn't you! Keep up the awesome work you will get to goal!

Wow! Everyone is doing great and ya'll look AMAZING! Looking forward to my own surgiversairy next Friday and posting some pics too!

Wow great job congrats Very exciting
Yay

Can't wait till the 25th for my 1 year surgaversary !!
Congrats to my fellow feb sleevers!!!!!!

My surgiversary was Feb 12th. I am down 97lbs. Don't even care about that extra 3 lbs. Wanted 100 lbs by one year but who cares! I look great, I feel great. I can't wait to thank my surgeon once again. Here are my before and after photo's.
Congrats to all my co-Febuary sleevers!

Today is my one year surgiversary and I feel so much better than I ever did before. I am 2lbs from goal and 7lbs from my stretch goal.

Congrats all Feb sleevers! We rocked it!

Yesterday was my surgery anniversary and I'm down 120lbs. I haven't been this light since high school.

Congrats on one helluva job! You look fantastic btw but I bet you already know and more importantly FEEL that way My hubby lost 155 lbs on his sleeve and wavers around 200 now give or take...and also feels and looks good. I think it's the men that seem to lose more and faster. Did you end up having your gall bladder out from the rapid weight loss like my hubby?
My own 1 yr is coming up quick and I've still got a bit to go but not stopping till I get there! I'll post my own before/after Feb 25...

Congratulations! You look great and very healthy!

Happy to report that today is my one year surgiversary! It's been an amazing year and I'm so happy that I made the decision to have the sleeve, it has been life changing! My only regret is that I waited so long! To date I'm down 189 pounds, and I'm just 9 pounds away from my goal weight, I know I'll get there soon, and that will be a big celebration! Here is my before and after! It has been a lot of hard work, but what a difference a year makes! Thanks to all of those that have given me information and encouragement to make my journey easier! Couldn't have done it without this community! Cheers!!

I loved my mother so much. She was the kindest person I have ever known. My brothers both lived close to her, I was the traveler in the family. I came home every few years. When my brother called and said she didn't have long I drove back to Iowa. She was out of it but waited until all three of her sons were present.
Then the angels came.

ashes go back to the basics! Heavy Protein, watch your carb intake, track everything that goes in your mouth, bump up the exercise! Just a suggestion! Hope it helps!

Yep an amazing year! I rang in 2013 at 396, got my sleeve on 2/19 and was at 380! Today I'm rockin' 212 I'm hoping to see 205 by my surgiversary! That was my goal weight, but now that I'm so close to Onderland I think I'll go a little farther and see that one on the scale! Good luck to all of the other February 2013 sleevers out there! We've done BIG things!! =]

Thanks BTB for sharing your journey! I've lost 183 pounds and have about 15 more to go! I'm hoping to be thinking about plastics in about 9 to 12 months! Continued success to everyone!

I agee w/ sun devil fan. But also I suggest looking for a physical activity you enjoy, maybe dancing to your favorite music in you living room. You might find that since you are so much lighter you will enjoy physical activity much more as it isn't so difficult as before. For me, when the weather is nice, I really love riding my bicycle on a nature trail, or just taking a walk. I don't love going to the gym but find listening to music helps make my time there less of a chore and also you get to know people after a while and it's nice to chit chat. Exercise isn't just important for weight loss and maintenance it is just good for you. Skinny people who don't exercise are at just as much risk for heart disease and even diabetes as heavy people, or so I've read.

I haven't lost (or gained) a pound since Thanksgiving. Either my scale is stuck, or I need to change something yesterday. I have dealt with plateaus before, but this is ridiculous.

Down 96 pounds. Sleeved Feb 25th. Would like to lose 30 more... current weight, 211. Feeling fabulous but not there yet...

My scale hasn't moved in a month either! I was worried then I went to see how close I was to fitting into a pair of jeans I had bought months earlier (size 7) and they fit!!! I guess the inches shed off while the scale doesn't move....
