The first picture is me a month before surgery at a whopping 280lbs. The second picture is me today. I'm proud to say that 6 months later I am 175lbs and about 20lbs away from my goal. I've gone through hell to get here, but I made it.

you look phenomenal!

Thank you all! To be honest, when I was having my stalls is when I would let myself eat something off my diet, and it would spark my metabolism to start working again and that's how I got out of them. But everyone is different so what worked for me may not work for any of you.

Looking good

Well done you look great.

Youi look fantastic! Congratulations. I pray for results as amazing.

Hey Karisss, congrats girl!! You look fantastic!! I'm 5'5" and 260 lbs. At 29 I can't think of a better 30th bday gift to myself than to loose all this extra baggage and go into the next 30 years fierce. I hope I'll be fortunate and not be too shrinkly. Thanks for sharing the pics, it's such an inspiration!
