Thank you! I kept it just for this reason haha. The pants are pretty baggy. I gave away 6 garbage bags of clothes, but left 1 pair of my favorite jeans.... i am almost fitting in to one pant leg. Thats my goal [emoji4]

Omg thats soooo great! I was very close to where u began. Today is my 1 yr and i was 318 at heaviest 306 dos and 220 now. Ive been stuck at almost same weight for 5 month and i found out today i need more protein.... i really hope it will help i want to loose another 30-40 lb. Im so happy for you! U can do it! Keep going, keep believing in your self!

Its almost been a year since my surgery and ive been at a stall for 4 month. Today i went on the scale and im 1lb away from 100lb loss. There are so many more goals to reach, but.... i can finally say that i can but Jr. size pants and A&F shirts haha.

I started working out about 4 month before the surgery, and then a month before i worked with a personal trainer a few times and told her that i am going to have the surgery and im worried about the skin and loosing weight or should i say not enough. So after the surgery i was super excited to go back i could t wait. I took exactly 1 month off after the surgery and then eased back in to it. Im in to Barre fusion classes and warrior sculpt they are more strength classes. But i think it helps. Dasha Way to go, you look amazing.

Thank u guys! My motivation for the next two weeks is a beautiful dress i bought to wear for a holiday party.... i fit in it fine, just a few imperfections im working on sitting hurting from the gym Dasha

Everyday is a challenge. Every meal is a question of "do i really want that?". Every month is a question of why am i not loosing more. When i look at myself in the mirror i cant see the difference. People keep telling me that i changed, but i cant see it. I went from a size 24 to a now 16/14 and im 7 month out. From 318 lb to 228lb. 90 lb difference that i cannot tell by looking at myself. Maybe its a good thing, it wakes me work harder at the gym, helps me make better decisions with my diet. This is the first time i compared pictures of my face....definitely looks like a different person Dasha

Thank you all! Its hard when ur not sure what the shape of your body is am i am apple, am i a pear, where did my boobs go...? I asked my husband if he sees a difference in my body and he said " i see u everyday, i dont see a difference" it made me mad at first, i lost 72 lb in the last year and u cant see the difference..... But then i didn't care! Because I see the deference, i feel the difference, i can go to Victoria secret and buy their sport pants and bras and it feels soooooo amazing!!!! When people come up to u and tell u that u are looking good. I was always scared of my body, never posted pics of me in a bra lol but it feels sooo safe in this group, to be around people that understand and that are going through the same thing. Dasha

Thank u! Dasha

I had my bypass surgery 4/18/16 SW 318 Surgery Weight 308 CW 246 These were my favorite pair of jeans... Not anymore!!!! I have always struggled with my weight all my life. Im high school my lowest weight was 250 Im now past the hurdle!!!! Cant even begin to say how existing it is to be lower then 250. Im going on a family vacation in a week and i am for sure going on all the slides and rides with my 3 yr old!!! That moment when you can buckle the airplane seatbelt and not worry about it cutting off your circulation or being embarrassed to ask for an extender, don't need one now! Dasha

Thank u! I am super excited !! Dasha

I am 3 month post op!!! 52lb down! Working on toning my arms and legs.... Its been wonderful, i am now able to go on the swing with my 3 yr old and i can actually fit on it!!!! I started at 318 now down to 254 totaling 64lb in less then a year. Cant wait to see what the next 3 month brings. My goal is 180 or below. I became a coach today for beachbody going to start out with Shakeology it has amazing Vitamins and minerals not to mention the nutritional benefits. The best part it doesnt taste like chalk and only 160 cal in 2 scoops. Needles to say im feeling over motivated! Dasha
