I'm 5 months out from surgery and I've lost 94 pounds. I have 55 pounds left to lose to reach my goal of 125. I'm 5 ft tall. I'm so excited about the weight I've lost so far and feel a million times better.

I hesitate to post this because the before pic is me in my underwear but It's the only pic I have that really shows the difference. I hope it doesn't offend anyone.

My family is getting ready to go on a beach trip and I bought a swim suit. I got a halter bikini top and swim shorts. I tried to find a pic of me last year at the beach but I couldn't find any that showed me from the shoulders down...but I found this underwear pic from the night before surgery.

I've lost a total of 64 inches so far! I've lost 13.5 inches from my hips and 10 inches from each thigh!! I'm amazed at the process and I'm loving this journey!

Please, if underwear offends you, do not click on the pic. :-)

Wow! I'm so excited!!! On my way to the hospital now. You are so inspiring & beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing!

WOW....Just WOW!!! YOU look Terrific!! I am SOOOO jealous of your tummy, it is so flat!

Wow!!!!!!

You look soooo young!! Congratulations on your AWESOME job!

Glad you didn't delete the pics! You look great. You must feel like a whole other person!! Awesome

You look amazing! Thank you for sharing your picture....it really is an inspiration!

You are looking hot and sexier than ever! Keep Rockin that sleeve.

I don't think I am more successful than others. My sleeve seems to be pretty small. I can only eat about an ounce or a little more at a time. I keep my calories pretty low...about 600 per day and I keep my carbs under 20 if I can... I don't do well with my Protein though. I never get enough...I don't recommend that though.

I do exercise almost every day. I think that really has helped with the weight loss.

I kept my calories low like you are doing. Not because I really tried, but because I couldn't eat much. I didn't track or worry about carbs because my doctor didn't, not unless a patient isn't losing. I did good with my protein, I started getting in all 60 grams with food at 2.5 months. I ate meat, tuna, I always kept a bag of shrimp to steam, we grilled fish a lot, 1% cottage cheese and eggs, plus I started and ended every day with a cup of skim milk, I still do this most of the time. All my go to foods!!! You're doing great, congrats!

This photo of you before is where so many of us are or were so thank you for posting it! Congratulations! You look fantastic!
