Would love to see some before and after photos if anyone would care to share. My journey is just beginning so I find it very inspiring!!

I still have another 30-35 pounds to lose, but it's my most recent "before and after"

228 pounds lost (so far). The before pic was the day of my surgery 20 months ago. The after pic is my daughter and I both in the pants from the before pic.

Woww! You are a new woman...this doesn't even look like the same person!! Absolutely remarkable!! You are quite an inspiration! Congratulations on your amazing accomplishment!! Your daughter must be SO proud of you. Thank you for sharing!!

That is AMAZING!!! You are such an inspiration!! How fast did your weight come off in the beginning? I am losing but some days I get discouraged and just want to cry. It's almost like I feel like i will be stuck at 190 for ever. But seeing before and after pictures like yours really helps motivate me and gives me hope and encouragement! :-) maybe one day i will be able to post some good before/after photos!

Stacy, don't sell yourself short.... Before you know it, you'll be wanting to know how to STOP losing. Don't fret

At the beginning it came off really fast- but when you're starting over 400 pounds the weight does come off a lot faster.

Now that I'm down into the 100's, I'm lucky to lose 5-8 pounds a month.

Don't ever give up. It just takes a lot longer the smaller you get.

Thanks ladies! This really helps me stay on track and keeps my head on straight! I am exercising everyday , at least doing something! So hopefully that will help me as well

I can't WAIT to be in the 100's

I'm barely in the 100's but it is a good feeling, almost a relief! I have to keep reminding myself of how far I've come & not how much longer i have to go because I get frustrated! But I'm going to just keep swimming lol

How long do you have to go? The rest of your life, it's your journey, not a destination.

Trying to enjoy the journey, and not become stuck, that's my goal. The people here are here whenever I need to push past or be inspired. Grateful .

Yay for you! I can't wait to be in the 100s. I've got 20 pounds to go - but closer than I was 3 weeks ago when I had surgery weighing in at 240.

Missy - you look so good! That's how you can tell that this is hard work and you've done so good! And your daughter is a cutey pie

Congrats to everyone
