Today I Am Officially 6 Month Post Op.. 11 Lbs From Goal, And I Dont Care.. Im Officially Posting My Before And After Pics!

I haven't been posting lately because honestly.. im not sure what else to say.. I have had one hell of a journey these past 6 months.. and I feel terrific.. I just want to let anyone out there that worried know.. if you work your sleeve it will work for you!!!!! I couldn't be happier.. Im not even sure that I want to hit goal because im really happy with where i am at right now.. i always said that around 160 would be good for me because i have a lot more muscle than most so at a heavier weight I think I look ok.. So instead of waiting to hit goal I am officially posting my before and after pic. Again a huge thank u too all of you for your support during my journey I hope I can be a support for others on their journey!

Thank u so much, and dont get discouraged, we all hit the stall thru out this journey mine included..but i found that when i hit a stall i just up my cardio workouts and it breaks really easily.. go a little easier on urself ur only 5 weeks out ur body is still adjusting but trust me it will break.

Dayum girl! You look fantastic!!!

I really needed to see this today. Getting ready to book my flight to MX for my surgery and I'm so nervous. Not about MX, about surgery in general. But it's good for me to see the other side of this. You're where I want to be!

Congratulations on all your hard work! :)
