116 pounds lost since December 21, 2016.

I found this picture on a Facebook flashback and thought it was a perfect reason to update my Before/After shots.

No idea what I weighed, but it was a lot. Easily 330. As you can empathize, I didn't really step on a scale back then.

This is from Fridays form check video I submit to my coach. I actually like the fact that my excess skin causes a "muffin top" above my belt. It's a constant reminder that no matter how much I train, there is nothing I can do about that skin. It's not going away unless I have plastic surgery. Makes it impossible for me to forget where I came from.

This is a different angle I used to check my back angle on the dead lift. I chose this picture because even though I looked leaner last year at this time, I am far stronger. and I think I still look good enough. Even relaxed I look pretty fit.
Every day that I lift there is a small part of me that wishes I could lift more, but I quickly remind myself that 2.5 years ago I couldn't lift my left leg or tie my shoe much less put 200lbs on my back or pick up 250lbs off the floor. Remember who you are and how far you've come to maintain your perspective!

Down about 106#. Sleeved 12/12/16. Looking to lose another 40#. Started at 319. Currently 211. The pics show my progression from August 16, 1, 3, & 6 months post surgery.

Almost 11 months out...

I had NO IDEA I was that fat before the op...the before pic just popped up on my faceboook memories from last year at a family gathering.

Everything in my life has changed for the better...I am back to original me and loving it!

before and after 5 months out!!! From a 47 waist to a 36. Im 5 lbs from goal weight, 296 to 230lbs!

Surgery date was May 2nd! Feeling great! 30 left to go! 😁

After 18months post-surgery, I just wanted to share some pics!
That would be before:

I started at 295 I'm 229 as of today congrats to everyone

My trainer asked for a before & after pic, so I did a gym shot to compare...woah!!!

Left is around 194. Right is probably around 300.

My highest weight was 245 (pre-op dec 21)
Current weight 153

I'm 9 months post op tomorrow :-)

Highest ever weight - 398
WLS program starting weight - 298.6
Surgery day weight- 265.8
Current weight - 175

From a size 26/28W pant at my highest and a 24W day of surgery to a size 10/12 pant currently and from a 4X top at my highest and a 3X day of surgery to a women's M/L & juniors XL top currently.

I'm off ALL my BP meds, off my anxiety meds and I'm no longer borderline diabetic. At 32 I was told I may not love to see 40 due to all my health issues and families history of heart/bp/cholesterol issues to being in better shape and health at 33 than I have ever been. Not too shabby for this mama of 4 :-) I am so beyond thankful and blessed to have this tool.

I'm 2 years and 9 months post sleeve. My journey has been amazing and still continues to be. Pre-surgery 315 lbs. YTD 163 lbs. I work out 3-4 days a week. Start with a warm up on the thread-mill and weight train. My diet is extremely low carbs. eggs whites and mixed, squash, spinach, and other vegetables, chicken, fish, lean steaks, occasionally Pasta with shrimp. 2 Protein Shakes per day on work out days. 1 per day on none. My goal now is to inspire others and share proof that with hard work and dedication ANYTHING can be accomplished.

NICE!!!! What waist size were you to start with?

You look fantastic! I love your mermaid dress & diamond tattoo!!
