You look great!

I like this...it can be difficult not comparing our stories to others. You look terrific - keep pushing forward!

I'm losing slower now also. In the past I would panic, comparing myself to others etc. I had to let that go. We all have different shapes and metabolisms. I run 4 times a week and strength train 3 times a week. I feel fantastic. I'm wearing smaller sizes now than when I was this weight in the past. One step at a time. We will all get there.

I had my surgery August 21 of last year, my surgery weight was 294 today I’m 219. Starting weight was 311. I am happy and content, because I feel so much better than I felt at my heaviest! Sometimes we like to compare our numbers with everyone else, but everyone has separate journeys. First picture is current of me, I recently fit into size 14 pants! I was wearing size 24 pants day of surgery! Second pic, I’m the one in the middle. I can’t stand to look at it! :(

I agree with you completely!!
You look fantastic and have done amazing so far.

I didn’t take before pics because I hated the way I looked. My starting weight was 311, currently at 235.. I couldn’t take a serious pic! Lol

The membership doesn't have to be expensive. In the early stages of my weight loss, I was addicted to the gym. I worked out up to 5 hours a day 7 days a week. TOOO MUCH!!! I did weight lifting, kick boxing, zumba, you name it. Find a gym that meets your needs, but more importantly, GO!! I stopped going and its hard to pick up that habit. HARD!!! Don't stop. You can slow down, but keep going. Also, paid tooo much for the ball. $16 at Walmart.

Congratulations!! "Don't get comfortable " is my only advice. You have to keep exercising and eating right to keep it off. I am almost 4 years out. As the years pass you will be able to eat more (not alot), get taste for sweets and fast food. Keep it in check. The hard part begins after the weight loss.

Congrats!

How long since your surgery? You look great!
