Getting ready for a wedding today. Figured I would take this shot and compare it to one I did about 6 years ago. I was indeed at my heaviest weight at the time. And I dont even need a belt to wear these pants.

Here are my most recent "ahhhhhh I'm so proud of this journey" pictures! 6 pounds until I reach 150! I'm considering adjusting my goal to 140. Congrats everyone.

Thought I would update my current picture with one from the gym today.

Here is me at my heaviest, around 330.

Today was chest day and there was a moment with no one around so I sneaked a picture. Maintaining at around 200.

Everyone looks amazing!!! I remember when I first signed up for this website to see what I was getting myself into. On September 11, 2014 I decided to have the sleeve done. My highest weight was 290 pounds. My surgery weight was 275 and my current weight today is 123. This was the best decision I have ever made! Wish I would've done it sooner!

-120 pounds and loving life! From a size 26 to a size 12. About 30 pounds to go...

Me and my lady at a wedding last weekend

July 2014 vs Now
And a huge NSV....actually having my picture taken on vacation and NOT hating it. Looking back thru old photos I was rarely photographed. Making up for that with my son now!
When I asked him who his favorite Disney princess is.....his answer was mommy. Best weekend away ever.

down 137lbs in 9 months. Weight loss is sooooo much slower now, but grateful that it's still going in the right direction!

Some days, I still see myself as the person on the left in the mirror but am finally starting to accept that's not who I am anymore through pictures. Such a hard thing to get past mentally. Here's to being under 20 pounds from goal. Loving my sleeve! #happierandhealthier

Here is my update

Got 32 pounds left to get to GW 180...[emoji3]

I had my one year follow-up appointment yesterday afternoon and could not be more pleased with the feedback I received and the results of my lab work! It's hard to believe it was slightly over a year ago that I embarked on the journey of WLS. I was and continue to be blessed by the support of my loving fiance who started his journey just 5 months earlier. Together we have lost over 250 lbs and have never felt better. I cannot wait for what the future has in store for us

Hard to believe these pictures were taken one year apart! My boyfriend had gastric bypass on August 1, 2013 and I was sleeved on January 15, 2014. Combined we have lost over 220lbs!
My boyfriend (6'0) -
SW: 340
CW: 198
Me (5'3) -
SW: 230
CW: 150

The "after" picture was taken 12 days shy of my 2 year surgiversary. As of yesterday, I am 2 years, 7 months out. In the "before" pic, I was a size 20; in the "after" pic, I am in a size 4 dress!!! Love my sleeve!

Here are a couple of mine as I'm coming up on my 2 year surgiversary this week. My highest weight in these pictures was 278.4 and my "after picture" weight here is 128. It's been an amazing 2 years and I'm happy to say that I have reached maintenance now. :-) I have lots more pictures and info on my journey in my blog (linked in my signature) if you are interested.

Here's my latest Before/After. Down 58 pounds, but even better? I can run 2.5 miles WITHOUT STOPPING. Feeling pretty darn fantastic and, yes, very proud. Woot!

I thought everyone might be interested in seeing these. I've kept track of my progress throughout my weight loss, with weight and measurements.
I'm pretty much at goal now and you can see the difference from start to finish. I literally have lost half my size.
I started at 250 highest weight, I would like to stay between 115 and 120 now. I'm 5'6 and 35 years old.

It's pretty crazy

From left to right, heaviest weight in 2011, then day of pre-op, then today. 120 down from my heaviest, 63 down from surgery on 9/28/15. Still got a long way to go but seeing some progress.

It has been awhile since I have been on here, so I thought I would sneak in here for a bit.
