10 months out and 111 lbs down! This has been an amazing journey!

[tessies 224]

I had my surgery February 25, 2013. As of this morning I am 111 lbs down. I had a Lapband in 2006 and had it removed Dec 2011. I was pregnant so I gained 120 of the my 200 lost. My highest weight was 343 in 2006. I love to do Jillian Michaels and Tae Bo. Probably should consider surgery for excess skin but I just can't care about it right now. I thought I would never be thin again. What an amazing year I have had and my husband has been my soul support. God love him!!!!!!

You look AWESOME! Congrats on your progress!

Also, thanks so much for sharing your photo and stats. I am about your height but weighed 12 lbs more than you at the start. I am REALLY bottom-heavy and started with a lot of excess fat from my upper stomach all the way down to my feet. Looking at your photos makes me think there is just a little chance that I could get rid of some of this...I guess I've always been worried that I would lose everywhere EXCEPT where I need it most. Your photos show that it's possible to lose it EVERYWHERE it needs to go. Thanks.

Anyway, you look FABULOUS and should be proud of your achievements! Again, big congrats on your progress!

<p>What has your exercise regimen been?</p>

I started exercising as soon as I was cleared by my doctor. So I think 3 weeks out. Just the treadmill. Then once I was within 50 lbs of goal I started lifting weights. I do Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred and Ripped in 30. I have also done Hard Body. I lift every other day. Days off I do kickboxing.
