Mary!! You are beautiful. REALLY!! I can definately see a BIG difference in your body size. Great job!!!! 80 lbs. is A LOT!! I think that there a few things you need to keep in mind.

1) We have completely different shapes. My sister is built just like you & she always complains that she is wearing an intertube around her middle. (So funny you said "tube".) She refers to herself as an apple shape & I am a pear shape. You have smaller arms & legs then I do. However, I gaurantee my behind & chest are bigger then yours. Because I still have the hourglass shape, I can get away with looking like I lost more weight. Instead of my measurements being 36/26/36 they are probably 45/35/45. (I have no idea, just guessing!)

2) I always take a good front picture. Had I posted a side picture, you'd see that I'm not as thin as I look. (SERIOUS!!) If I can find one a side picture, I'll post it here. I'm not sure how many of them I took! HA!

3) We are all so different that it truly is hard to compare to anyone. I guess the exercise has really played a big role in everything. (As you mentioned!) I think it may have helped to really tone everything. I personally think that had I not exercised, I probably would have lost more weight. Instead, I lost lots of inches & gained muscle which I will gladly take!!

You really do like fabulous Mary. I think we are all the hardest on ourselves then anyone else.

Whenever I tell him I want to put my swimsuit on, he's falling right behind me. ROFL!!! ;)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
