Just wanted to share my progress so far. 41 pounds gone. Exercising 5x a week.

The left photo was taken the first day of school this year in August 2013. I weighed 369.

The right photo was taken last week because I felt "skinny" for some reason at work. I am now 328.

My surgery was 10/2/13. I still have a lot of work to do, but:

1.) my clothes fit better

2.) I'm rediscovering old clothes I haven't worn in 4-5 years

3.) my shoes fit better!

4.) I'm not tired all the time

5.) people notice my weight loss now

FORTY-ONE pounds and a noticeable weight loss..... Congratulations !!!!!

Don't say "it's not much." That a lot!!!

Forty one pounds is awesome! Great job and keep up the good work. Give yourself credit and realize it takes time. I had surgery in October as well. I am so glad I did it and am experiencing some of the things you mentioned (clothes fitting better, feeling better, and people noticing) and it is an awesome feeling. Be proud of yourself!

You can see the difference.

Good job!! Keep it up

Keep going!! You got this girl. Work it!

Fantastic job!!! Don't discount the non-scale victories! Feeling better, moving better, clothes and shoes fitting better...those are just as remarkable as the numbers dropping on the scale! Keep it up, sister

41 pounds in just over 3 months is fantastic! Don't you feel good about yourself? You should!! You are doing a great job!!!

Great job! You should feel soooo proud of yourself! 41lbs is AMAZING! Don't cut yourself short, be positive and pat yourself on the back, you're working hard and it shows. The positive thinking will help you continue down the road to your goal! Great job!

Sounds like you are making excellent progress! Congratulations

You're doing amazing, and look so beautiful! Congrats!!

So happy for you! I like #4 -- not feeling tired all the time. That feels like the key to everything, doesn't it? Having the energy to make good choices, to be active and happy in our lives. Yippee! Keep at it -- you are doing beautifully.

Believe me I am not discounting myself at all. I do feel so much BETTER!

I just meant that it's not as much as some other people that post pictures of themselves on here (like 100 pounds). Don't worry, I'm proud of my 41 pounds.

Just had a fill yesterday. At 6/10cc now. I'm hoping to me down to 50 pounds by Feb. 1st.

By the way! I found a GREAT free app last night. You document pictures of yourself and share them with others on their weight loss journey. It is great encouragement.

The app is called: Weilos

Try and not to compare your journey to someone else. That just adds more undue pressure on yourself. Everyone is different and everyone loses different. Even someone with similar physical characteristics will lose differently than you. It's not a race and just as long as you see that downward trend then you are golden. Patience can be tough at times and comparing yourself to others can just add to that.

Best of luck!
