Thanks! Im on the short side as well. Im 5'3 but losing weight definitely helps making me look taller :)

Dang! You definately give me a goal to work toward! What are you doing for exercise? I'm inconsistent with exercise and just joined a gym.

I am doing cardio 2 times a week and weights 3 times a week. I am doing Gold's Gym body transformation. I dont follow the diet they gave me but the program turned out to be cheaper than getting a personal trainer. I have flab on my arms but I am determined to tone them without more surgery.

Make the sacrifice! Excersize will become your best friend. After you discipline yourself to go for the first week, you will find that it gets easier and you will even miss it! Trust me, I never thought I would be one to motivate someone into going to the gym!

I have had a remarkably easy time of this. The first couple of weeks were very hard, but I have had no issues with vomiting. I am losing about 2 pounds a week and have lost nearly 40% of my excess weight. I am down from a size 24 to a 16. This was the smartest thing I ever decided to do.

My daughter and I went shopping last night for a dress for me for her casual wedding. I have not felt comfortable in a dress for a long time, but this is special. She just picked out some dresses for me and I tried them on. I would have never picked the one I got but it looked great! It was a 1X, haven't seen that size in a very long time!!! The dress I have on in my profile pic is a 4X. I feel so good in this dress. I tried it on when I got home to show my husband and he told me I looked beautiful. I haven't felt beautiful in a very long time. I am so thankful that this tool has been given to me :)

I'm going to be famous! Ok, probably not really but I went for my 3 month appt today and my dr was so excited with the results he's putting me on his website. Here's a preview for you all. On the left is this morning at 190, on the right is during my pre surgical consult in Dec, 2012 at 245.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
