Thought I would check back in and share a wee bit about my sleeved life as I will be 1 year post op tomorrow!

Started my journey 275lbs and now 165lbs - at 5"9 this was my personal goal. I have stalled or maintained this weight for about 2 months now whilst lowering my body fat %.

Two exciting things within this year 1) I got engaged! 2) I am doing my first half marathon in 3 weeks!

I eat pretty much whatever I like these days - I do have to be careful as bad habits are re-forming. I have to have chocolate every day! One thing I can attribute my success to definitely is my activity levels running and strength training.

Here is a pic of my trying on my first pair of short shorts ever in my life! I didnt buy them because I still dont think I can pull them off! I'm a mummy! Nice to do up that zip though. Size US 6

Nice, girl go on & buy those shorts. You can definitely pull them off! Own & display that new body. I'll be 1 year post op on 11/7 & still can't believe some of the things I can wear now.

Great job!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!

Buy them, you look great. Wear what you want.

You look great in them! Congrats on reaching your goal!

All I can say is wow, wow and WOW! Congratulations on all counts, you are doing fabulous!

Buy them in every color! You look amazing!

Go. Back. And. Buy. Them. :-)

You look fantastic!!! Congratulations on all of your successes - what a great year it's been for you!

If I had that body I would buy them! You look great! I hope that in a year I can share a similar story!

Woohoo! So inspirational! We have very similar starting stats and I'm hoping to say I am 165 someday!

Congratulations!

You look fantastic!

FABULOUS! You are at my goal weight and we are pretty much the same height & your past weight (I am 5'8 and 278). CONGRATS! So excited for you!
