You look great! I started at 310lbs and I'll be 5 months out next Thurs so it's great to see that weight is attainable in a year . What is your monthly losses?

I sent you a friend request on myfitnesspal. I eat a lot of fish and chicken and fresh fruits and veggies. If I have to have Pasta or bread, it's always whole grain or whole wheat. I do not do any of the white pasta, bread or rice anymore. I do a lot of baked or grilled stuff now rather than fried or sauteed. I always buy either low fat or fat free cheeses and yogurts. I also always buy plain yogurt and add my own fruit to keep the sugars down. Yogurt with fruit already in it, the sugar content is through the roof.

Congratulations to you! I have been averaging about 12lbs a month. Sometimes a little more and sometimes a little less. Just depends on how hard I push myself during my workouts and how diligent I am with my diet.

You look great!

I also use a high moisturizing lotion everyday, sometimes twice a day if I remember. Hope this helps.

Second - What brand of moisturizer do you use?

GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!

Thank you! I have so many different lotions it's crazy! Some of the ones I have are the Lane Bryant firming lotion, aveeno, vaseline, and meleluca among many others that I don't remember off the top of my head right now. I use all of them throughout the week. I use an anti wrinkle cream on my face at night, but I can't remember the name or brand right now.

Beautiful! Congrats!

wow, I can only hope! I'm just 3 weeks post-op, your an inspiration!

Thank you all so very much! I'm glad me sharing my pictures will help inspire some of the people just starting this journey! It makes me feel good that I can help other people.

Congratulations!!! You look AMAZING!!!!

Amazing pictures well done :-))

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You look beautiful! I hope I can lose that much in 10 months. You were only 14 pounds heavier than I was. Gives me hope!!! Can you share your eating habits? Seems I'm on a stall every few pounds. I've started increasing my protein and water to see if that helps. I find that I'm not eating enough calories in a day.
