Girl you look fantastic! Shake them haters off! My bf calls me a bobble head. And Puerto Rican Victoria Beckham. He's cute about it though. But everyone else tells me to stop losing. I don't care I'm 15 pounds from goal!

Aaron! Omg! Mouthwatering HOT! Lol. Love the tats!!!

You look amazing! Congrats.

I've encountered this as well. My soon to be ex told me before surgery, "I don't see how this is going to work. I mean how'd you get so fat in the first place?" When we met to discuss our impending divorce he prefaced a sentence with "Now that you're pretty and skinny...." I was like oh so I'm pretty now I wasn't before. I've noticed women treat me way differently. And it's not always the overweight ones. The pretty thin ones keep me at arms length too. Additionally, guys who I've known for ages and never gave me a second look are popping out of the woodworks. In the words of Sweet Brown..."Ain't Nobody Got Time Fa Dat!"

Girl you can do this!!!! My doc was Dr. Jayaseelan. <3 him !!! Medical City too. I'm sooo pumped! We can all find our healthy, fit, inner goddess!!!! We are in it to win it! It's our turn to turn heads, run marathons, wear anything off the rack, be confident and beautiful!!!

My son had a sleepover last night so I decided to take these crazy lil ones on a nice walk. My son snapped an impromptu pic of me and I almost started bawling! I could not believe my eyes. Who was this woman in this picture?! She certainly cannot be me?! Don't cameras add 10 pounds?! How on earth could I possibly look so lean and fit?! Tears of joy! Screaming with happiness. We're our own worst enemy! Finally the outside is starting to match the inside.

Hahaha. He was cracking up. It was fun and delicious.

So I was cooking breakfast this morning for me and my boys and I wanted a taste of pancakes but didn't want to overindulge. My man loves to eat so I made us his and hers pancakes.

I started at a size 16. I'm only 5'3". Surgery was 9 months ago. I still have 18 pounds to go. Weight loss has slowed down considerably but I have to workout more.

Thank you all!!!! Xoxo. We can do this!!!!!

Thank you all soooo much! I'm beyond thrilled I can't believe this but since I'm short I actually see a size 4 in my future! I've never been consumed with sizes but this is almost unfathomable. I still have tummy bulge and my ass has lost that high bounce it use to have. My thighs are jiggly but I'm ok with that. They are not terrible. Nothing some yoga and weight training can't help. Plus I do see a mommy makeover somewhere in the future. Just trying to wait and see if I'm done having kids. I'm still undecided.

I can't believe my eyes! Almost in tears. I bought these shorts over the summer at Express. I can now fit a size 6 comfortably!!!!

Yes I agree. I was just curious if anyone knew about it first hand before looking into investing in it.

Question to my lady friends. Have any of you heard about a new weight loss program called Venus Factor? I'm in the final stretch of my weight loss journey and I really need to bump up my metabolism. Any thoughts feedback?

Looking great!

Thank u very much for ur kind words and support. I know it's not a conscious thing. The attention seeking behavior. It's not like I take a pic and say, I wonder how many likes/comments this will get?! I'm just excited and also want to help others. I've been approached by countless friends on FB and in life who have told me my posts have inspired them to do more about their health. Which means the world to me. I was obsessed with before and after pics preop. It's what got me through my scariest moments. As for love, I haven't been looking for it. Actually I was avoiding it like the plague but recently made a connection with someone. I let him in and he too has issues with self esteem. He's extremely insecure and jealous. So I'm not sure if it's his insecurity or my behavior or the combo of both. My spins. I just know I can't in good conscience continue a behavior that's harmful to those I care about.

Has anyone noticed their weight loss has impacted the dynamic of their relationships or dating? I know I'm a complicated case because I have a lot of emotional and self esteem issues but I was just curious if anyone else had issues finding love or keeping love Postop? I'm having a hard time with all this newfound attention and I've noticed I've become obsessed with my appearance. I also share a lot of pics on support sites, IG, FB. Not because I'm looking for attention or compliments but more so to inspire others and give them hope it can be done. I've been told more than once I'm constantly seeking attention and I dismissed it of course. But another part of me is starting to wonder am I? Are they right?! I don't want my insecurities/issues to come in between me and love. I'd welcome any thoughts!

Bahahaha. That sounds like a great problem to have! I'm loving my skinny sexin! It brings so many new positions with it. And I'm not shy for the cameras anymore!

Me before surgery in April and me now. 60 pounds down. 20 to go.

Aww so very very sweet!

Thank you all! I had my surgery in April. I've only lost 60 pounds, I'm a slow loser but I'm short and muscular too.

One of my fave parts of my sleeve....no more tears in the dressing room! I can see something in the window such as this hot lil number and buy it right off the rack! So pumped I found the purrrrfect dress for NYE!

Well thank u so much. You're a beautiful girl. I'm sure you will do awesome!

I'm only 5'3" but I've lost 60 pounds. I'm a slow loser plus I'm naturally muscular. I'm very good about my nutritional plan but terrible about working out. I just got on my fitness kick and I've been doing abs and squats and lunges. The best most consistent workout I've been getting since I had surgery is....SEX! Lmao. Sorry not trying to be disrespectful but so true. And I'm talking marathon style sex on the regular! Lol. So get it in however u can.
