Me First Me First.. Surgury date 8/8/13 Starting weight 230. surgery weight 216 current weight 182. Half way to goal in only 8 weeks. Since we have to be so modest in person and of course never brag of our astonishing weight loss, my replies to others noticing my weight loss are oh thank you..Im trying, I still have a long way to go...modesty podesty..Im freaking thrilled that in 8 weeks I lost 49 freakin pounds...I feel great and cant wait to see what the future brings!!!

I don't mind being #2. :-P

Surgery 12/27/2012

Down 95lbs (+ or - a pound depending on the day)

30 more lbs to go to goal. My energy is finally ramping up. The closer I get to goal, the more I want to exercise and eat right.

Current weight/size: 151/ size 8 pants/size 10 top

Starting weight/size: 308/size 26W-28W/3x range

Highest lifetime weight size: 332 32W pants

Total lost from highest weight: 181 - size of a good sized man...OMG

Victory i claim from sleeving: 157 - size of a slightly smaller man... OMG

No wonder I have skin for two people... off to plastics in a week to get that body work done.

But, the biggest victory of all is that my life is evolving and changing in ways i never imagined. I have more friends, i am changing inside in alot of ways. I am healthy, I feel attractive and vibrant. I have become a very confident horseback rider since I am so much stronger. I can hike up mountains - I am so much fitter. And, I seem to be able to maintain, so far so good anyway!!!

I started my journey at 279 lbs. on 12/05/2012, I am 5'6 3/4" tall, I was a size 22/24 depending on the clothes, I wore a 3XL shirt and sometimes they were to small. I am currently 173 in a size 11/12 pants and a med to lg blouse. I still have about 20 lbs to goal weight, but I do believe that this is mostly excess skin. Looking to have TT and breast lift soon. I need a full body lift but can't afford to do it all at once.

I heard many stories of inexpensive surgeries abroad, I am currently looking into all of them. I had my sleeve in Tijuana with Dr.Almanza and I was pleased with his work. I wouldn't change a thing except doing it sooner!

Starting wt: 240.6

Current wt: 169.5

Goal wt: 140 (May possibly lower)

4 months out

So happy with my results so far. Looking forward to the future- the slimmer sexier healthier future.

J. Cross- I'm with you-- saving $$ for the plastics!
