Pre Op and 6months later!

I run 3 to 5 miles a day now and I work with a personal trainer 3 days a week! Kicking this weight loss journey in the butt!! And thanksgiving the compliment! (blush blush)

I am a Lehigh valley boy lol, born and raised in Allentown PA! Don't see to many local people on here! Wish you the best with your weight loss journey!!

That is pretty standard 10%, I had to do it as well. I also had to attend 3 support groups, a pshyc test, and nutrition classes but it was all well worth it in the end.

Throwing these pants in the trash bin!!

That's what we are here for!! Any type of questions you have. I can give my advice straight from experience. That bravery will rub off!! Just being on here and researching on the forums is An AWSOME step!! I did so much research before I decided to do it and I thought it through and through....then my father would was overweight and unhealthy had a fatal heart attack at the young age of 58 and that was a major eye opener for me!!

I am a 33yr old man and I had a wow moment last night found a pair of my (fat pants lol) size 46' and held them up in front of my now size 30' waist and I could literally fit another me inside!!
