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!

You look amazing girl, CONGRATS

Honestly, each day is getting better and if you look at the success stories here, the sleeve is not really the one commonality, it really seems to be the attitude of the person sleeved. A positive attitude and outlook, and like you said, working the sleeve so the sleeve can work for you is so important. So many think the sleeve is all it takes, when it honestly does take you to make the sleeve work, not the other way around.

Good for you, and thank you, every day is better, and I feel very confident and positive that I will be successful

I appreciate that and i agree it really is all about attitude, I have seen first hand how just thinking the sleeve will do all the work , or even gastric bypass will do the work for you, and people end up not happy with the results.. Some people think i took the easy way out, but I worked my but off! I was in the gym 6 days a week running 3 days a week doing circuit training 3 days a week. So easy was not part of this! I worked for every pound lost. and i know you will do amazing because you have the right attitude as well!

WOW! You Go Girl! You so look amazing. I can't wait. I am 1 week out and I lost about 18 lbs! You have really inspired me! Kudos! Keep up the good work ad rock the bikini!

Thank you so much, im glad that i can be a positive influence for you. and trust me it is not easy being in that bikini, im still really self conscious but im workin on it..lol

I'm so happy for you.
