10 months post op

I had my rny on August 8th, 2012... Starting weight 271, current weight, 178... I've been at a standstill since about March... I try so hard to get to my goal weight of 160, and I can't get below 178!! It's really frustrating. I know I have come along way, a really long way, but i still struggle with my appearance, when I look in the mirror, I still feel "fat" I don't feel like I'm any smaller. I know I am, but my brain doesn't recognize it, and I'm hard on myself. I went from a 22 pant, to size 11 and 2x shirt to a large. It feels fantastic! I just hope that I can continue to push forward and lose these last few pounds!

You look amazing!!! Congratulations on your achievements! :)

First off i just have to say that YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL!!! Congratulations on your success, you look great!! Hang in there, you'll reach your goal weight... But I know how you feel I've been stuck at 184 for over a month now & it IS very frustrating!! I just need to remember that at least I'm not gaining any weight. Because before the surgery I would have gotten so frustrated & would have given up by now & gained a bunch back. So I know it's hard but we need to be proud of ourselves for how far we've come and how strong we are now to keep going & not give up.

You look so cute! It will happen for u :)

You look amazing! You are tiny!

Great job! :)

Don't get discouraged. You look fantastic! My surgery was August 30th and I spent most of March and April in a stall. I lost 6 pounds over 3 months. Suddenly it started moving again a couple of weeks ago. I increased my walking and it helped.

Oh, and I totally understand still feeling fat. When I look in the mirror, I don't see a change. It's only when I catch my reflection in a subway or shop window that it hits me that I've lost over 100 pounds. I think part of it is that the face I expected to see after the weight came off isn't there. I'm 15 years older and the face in the mirror is a stranger. It's do strange.

First off you look amazing!

We are the same I'm also 10 months and have been stuck since march. I still feel fat and see the same ol me. I just started Zumba in and back to Protein shakes.

I have been stuck at 240 forever! Starting was 389. My goal is 190 so I have 50 more lbs and I want to do it by 16 months.... So I'm giving myself 6 months.

Message me we can do this! I'm here for ya. Lets push through and get to our goal. I can't say our brain will catch up but we can do it!!!!

I used to do side by side and stopped that too when I just gave up and didn't see what everyone else saw in me. I needed to reevaluate the situation and push through I've been in Zumba 4 times a week and cardio and toning 2. And up up up the protein.

And Water.... Boo lol I'm not a water fan

Surgery date 7/25/12

You look wonderful! but it must be something about those march/april months... I had surgery Aug 13th and i also stalled out in March/April...now moving downward again...FINALLY!

We can do this!!

Jenn you look fantastic as well....
