I had my surgery on January 23, 2013. Since then, I've lost 119 pounds and I have 30 to go to reach my goal. I am 5 feet tall. My highest weight was 274. My weight now is 155. Before, I wore a size 24/26 jeans, now I'm in a 13/14. I used to wear size 3X shirts and now I wear Medium. Before, I was miserable. Now I feel great! I love my sleeve.

I do have a lot of saggy skin though. I'm hoping it will tighten up at some point. I do exercise a lot so I hope that helps. You can't really see the saggy skin in this pic but if you look closely at my thighs you can see it a little. You can REALLY see it from the front. I don't like it at all, but maybe someday I can get it fixed if it doesn't tighten up. My boobs are very very sad. I'm wearing a good supportive bra in this pic...but my boobs are just...bad. I'm definitely getting them fixed if at all possible!

Something that I think is interesting is that in the before pic, my thigh is 2 inches bigger than my waist is in the "now" pic! Seems so unreal!

Wow good for you !!!!!!

You look great!!!

A.mazz.ing!!! I love that you posted your height as well. That helps keep things in perspective. Did you work out a lot? How old are you ? You look very young! Hopefully time will catch up with your sagging and tighten up.

WOW! Simply amazing transformation! Congrats on all your success and hard work thus far. You look great!

Wow you look great!

AMAZING!!!

Your starting stats are very similar to mine. I hope I have the amazing loss you're having. You're definitely kicking butt and look great. You'll be at goal before long.

Good job!

I'm 40. Thanks for saying I look young! I feel like 40 is old, but I don't feel old. I hope my sagging tightens up too... I really don't want to have surgery for it because people say it is really painful.

I started working out as soon as the doctor released me for exercise. I do the Leslie Sansone Walk Away the Pounds workout videos. I started with the 1 mile walk and it was hard to finish...now I've worked my way up to 4 miles with jogging and weights included. I exercise 4 to 5 times a week. I really think the exercise sped up my weight loss a lot. I notice that if I take a break, the loss slows down. But, sometimes we all need a break!

Congrats on your loss so far!

Thank you everybody for the encouraging comments! I am truly enjoying the process! Can't wait to get to goal! Love y'all!

Nice job

You look great! Congrats on your loss!

Congrats too u looking good

Amazing...You must feel incredible, fantastic, and so on. I could only hope to have the same kind of results you have had in such a short amount of time. continued success on your amazing journey!!
