HOLY CRAP!!! I wanted to say something else but wanted to keep it clean. WOW!! You are awesome and so beautiful. I love the purple on you. It really brings out your eyes.

You are an inspiration to me.

Keep up the good work.

To all of you thanks for the good words and encouragement. And thanks Vera for posting the pictures!

And as you can guess, purple is my favorite color. The first outfit is a 2x and the last picture I'm wearing a size 12 from Coldwater Creek.

Surgeon took out half my fill so that I lose my last 20 to 25 pounds more slowly. It has been rough because now I want to eat more. So I started to increase my exercise and am at least maintaining for the moment.

THANKS AGAIN!

Carol

Carol,

You look wonderful. Purple/lavender is certainly a color that brings out your 'glow'. You were beautiful in your before pictures and just better in your present photo.

Congratulations!

Is it just me? or does everyone look much YOUNGER when they lose weight.

You sure do know how to make me smile.. Right now I need all the positive feedback to keep struggling along.

I long forward to seeing some of you in Vegas in October and hope to meet the rest of you someday.

To everyone -- keep up the good work -- it so is worth it. I feel great, walk prouder and enjoy myself so much more.

Thanks again for all the great words of wisdom.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
