Hey there.. So I was sleeved on 4/27/12- starting weight was 245, today I am at 179 which is a loss of 66 LBS I am beyond excited!!!

i gotta say the only struggle at this point in the game is mentally being able to continue making those good decisions. I am starting to crave sweets and so far since surgery i have been doing great but its becoming a bit more difficult!! But i still have faith and strength to continue to be successfull!!!

The photo to the left is taken the day of surgery ( no make up or anything on) and the picture to the right was taken on sunday (at my 6th month mark)

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!! IT's been an amazing journey this far!

Do u mind me asking how tall r u..??

Amazing! Great job! Congrats!

Thanks everyone for the kind words!!!

to answer some questions, i am 5'6 (rounding up) but based on medical records i guess i am 5'5 and 1/2... LOL

I just started getting motivated to work out so i have only been working out for about a month now.. i hope to one day work out 5 days a week but right now I am only working out 3 days a week and in between those days i walk when i can.

i go to the gym and do 15 minutes cardion and 45 minutes weight lifting. I try not to do too much cardio right now because i dont want to loose weight to fast and get saggy so i do minimal cardio at the gym and more weight lifting. When my kids are at soccer practice i do my walking for an hour then. again i hope to work out a ton more but i like the "baby steps" process hehe

Looking good! If you have that craving for sweets...take a bit or two, it does help curb the cravings. I have a bite or two every once in a while and it is working for me. Good luck and best wishes for your continued success!

Fabulous, when I hear you have lost 66 lbs in 6 months I think you have done terrific. I am at week 7 and have lost 26 lbs and I think it is too slow, then I did the math, if I lose 10 lbs a month I will have 66 at 6 months too. I don't know why I thought I was going to shrink so fast, it is not happening like that, sounds like I am whining, 10 lbs a month is nothing to scoff at but I am eating so little in comparison to my whole life?!?!
