Down under 200 pounds for the first time in 25 years..... :0)

Let's see...

I found out that I have a neck and hip bones, who knew...
The airplane ride last week was great. I was not sick before hand worrying if I would fit
I still can't grasp I can wear a large.
I have 10 bags of clothes for charity!!!
I think I can wear sleeveless

Fit in airplane seat and no extension. Excess seat belt left over. LOOK!

I rocked a size medium BeBe's summer dress yesterday. I haven't been in a medium since Jr High and I've NEVER in my life been able to fit in ANYTHING from BeBe's.

Hello Everyone, I'm doing great and I glad to hear that everyone is having such positive results and attitudes. My surgery was December 15th and I'm down 100lbs since surgery. 155lbs since I started my journey. I have another 94lbs to go to reach my goal and I'm not letting anything stand in my way! Keep up the great work everyone and keep pushing forward.

I'm 10months today and have went from 439 down to 264. Since i hit that 6 month mark my weight loss has slowed down, but at least I'm not gaining.

Here is me now!

Here is me now!

I'm 6 months today and my HW was 439, SW 382, and today I weigh 287. I haven't weighed under 300lbs in 18 years.

Here is my journey so far. From before Surgery, 3 months, 5.5 months and 9.5 months at 266.

Here is me now!

6 months out - down 85 lbs. and feeling fabulous

5.5 months and -94lbs! Feel great!

It really trips me out too how much the face can change. My face looks like a complete different person! Even the shape of my brows and nose is different. I wasn't ugly before I lost weight but my skin and face did not look healthy because of the food I was putting in my body. I've never been at this weight before and wasn't sure what I would look like but I'm loving it! And loving seeing everyone else's beautiful faces emerge as well!!

wow, everyone's lovely. i love seeing how losing weight changes our faces...you can really see all the true shapes and structures. just gorgeous.
like, for me, i see that my eyes are much bigger than i realized. loving it.

10 months out and so happy!! The journey is hard but so worth it!!! Glory to God!!

Before, 240 lbs
After: 157 as of today and roughly 6.5 months post op.
Happier than I've ever been. Will never go back.

I went shopping for the first time since my surgery in December 2014. As usual i picked up the biggest size of a 22 and also a size 18, because I wasn't sure what I wore anymore. To my surprise, the 18 fit perfect, and I haven't worn a size 18 since I was 12 years old.

Here is me now!
