A year ago today I started my new life... 177 lbs Gone forever. Below is a pair of size 28 pants and a 3 x shirt I used to wear. I can now fit both legs in one of my jeans legs from before. Now size 8 and med tops!!!!

Here are my before and after pics....one year today. Dr says I lost 102% of excess body weight. I weighed in at 157 lbs today down from 285 a year ago.

I would like to that every one on the forum who have been supportive in helping me to achieve my weight loss goals. The road has been rough but I am extremely happy for the struggle!

Yaaayyyyyy!!!!

Just amazing!!

My surgery is June 4th.... Absolutely cannot wait to be talking about my one year anniversary! I am so sick of hearing friends and family talk about everyone they know who gained the weight back! Any advice on what to say to those stupid comments?

Why even bother responding. Just follow the program and show them a success story

Just say wow it's really sad for them that they could t make a lifestyle change. Every surgery is individual.

I celebrated my one year on 4-30-13 and I have to say... It's a shock when I see pictures of myself. It used to be a shock before and I deleted every picture I could find... However, lately I feel like I've lost my way. I drink wine, don't watch my carbs (although I'm careful of the ones that really make me feel uncomfortable, ie; rice, Pasta and bread)..I really need some motivation and a workout buddy. Plus this unexpected fact...since I've lost weight I feel like I look at least 10 years older...anyone else experienced this?

Overall, however, I have to say I'm so happy! I weigh 130 fricken pounds!!!!!

Congrats panda looking awesome

Jen you don't look older to me. My surgeon never told me not to ever eat the junk food just in moderation & I have self control and why start with the bad food to become fat again that's how I feel.
