I started my journey on June 18, 2012 at 334.9 lbs, I was a very sad and sick woman who was not living, just existing. Well fast forward 6 months and I weigh 233 lbs (101 lbs), everything about my life has changed! I am loving my new life, enjoying my new body (so is my husband, he's like a kid on Christmas morning - every day!) and I love it! Thank you to Dr. King in Oxford, Mississippi, your my hero! The pictures below speak for themselves, the first two are before and are the most I ever weighed, the first one is the saddest I was ever in my life! The last two are last week (Dec 11) and I still can't believe it's me!

Congratulations!! Awesome job!!

Congratulations!!!! You are my inspiration Our starting weights are just about the same....I didnt get my surgery date yet but I pray Im as sucessful as you.

It's very inspirational to see how well you've done. I'm starting at a similar weight and hope with every ounce of hope I have in me that I can have similar success!

Thanks everyone for all your kind words!

You look fantastic. I totally understand your comment about existing and not living. Now you have the opportunity to live your life unhindered and to the fullest. Keep up the good work.

Yes, this is what it is all about. You look fabulous!l

Congratulations! You are one of the success stories I was hoping to find. I am discouraged with the speed of weightloss and don't know what I am doing wrong. I am losing 1-2 pounds per week, but am just curious if you hit slow Patches and how you got through them? I had my surgery on 12-12-12 and am down about 40 lbs, most of that came pre-op and first two weeks post. Since the first of Jan. I am only down 4 lbs. Just looking for any advise you might have.

Again, Congratulations to you! You look wonderful!

Thanks for your kind words! Yes I have had a few stalls and I just keep doing everything the exact same way because it will start to come off again, our body just has to rest sometimes. Just don't get discouraged, and lord have mercy, don't get on the scale every day, that just makes it worse.
