BEFORE AND AFTER PICS 1 YEAR LATER

I remember thinking, will this work. Maybe I can do it on my own...I was terrified and excited at the same time. I had lost 12 lbs. prior to surgery and 18 lbs. on my own before that. In the before pics I'm wearing a size 14 misses Levis and XL tank, and in the after taken a few minutes ago, I'm wearing a size 4 misses Levis and S tank. I still have my muffins, but at least they are mini compared to last year AND I don't work out like I should. Anyhoo, I'm so glad I had the support that talked me in to going for it and here I am today and couldn't be happierbiggrin.gif

Thanks to ALL who have inspiried me on this journey love and blessings to ALLLLL!

Awww thanks coops! So sweet of you! OK I will look for the before and after thread :)

So far, so good. I think I finally caught the hang of maintaining (knock on wood lol)...I bounce from 145-148, today 147 and started my period today, that in itself is another huge miracle. Before I could easily gain 5-10 lbs. on my period, it still blows my mind.

I also love that you wore the same outfit. Congratulations!!!!!!!

Thanks!!! I got the idea from deedee. She was wearing a white tank and capris in her before and after pics. It's a great idea :)

Congrats and thanks so much for sharing.

Our height and surgery weight are about the same. It's so helpful to see what I might look like at a healthy, normal BMI. I can't wait!
