8 Months out, 131 pounds down, 18 more to goal with a pic

Just a quick update. I had surgery January 23, 2013. I weighed 274 and am 5 ft tall. Now, a little over 8 months out, I've lost 131 pounds and have 18 pounds to go to my goal! I weigh 143 right now. I'm really excited! I'm still not used to being smaller and I really don't see myself as being as small as I am until I see pictures! I feel great and have no health issues anymore! Love my sleeve!

Here's a before/now pic

Amazing job!!! Soon to hit goal.... that is really really exciting!! I like a few others would love to know what your workout was like? How many days, how long, ect. I was cleared to really start working out as of tomorrow. Any input would be so helpful! I'm down 32 since surgery 6 weeks ago and am feeling the positive effects and my energy creeping back.

You look absolutely amazing!!!

Awesome job. Congrats to you.

Truly inspiring. I'm a similar height and weight. You give this pre-opper hope.

Thanks for sharing your story. I wish you continued success!
