So, here are my before and currents to keep the topic moving.

Holy crap you are TINY

This thread is AMAZING!! Ever since I joined this forum I've been slowly going through this entire thread, yes, all 52 pages, finally finished last night, and I just want to say you are all SO inspirational, and thank you for sharing your journeys and pics. It means a lot to someone who is just starting out...

Hey Kindle thank you for posting those. Great job! You look terrific. I'm digging the muscles... did you do a lot of weightlifting or strength training... ive mostly been focusing on cardio because that's what i enjoy but some definition would be nice.

Thanks everyone! And no, no working out or gym time for me. Those muscles have always been there, just buried under 100 pounds of fat. I have a physical job with lots of bending, squatting and lifting, and an active lifestyle with physically demanding recreational options....horseback riding, hiking, kayaking, rafting, skiing, snowshoeing, etc. Not to mention shoveling snow, feeding and watering horses and stacking 80 pound bales of hay. Now I can do all of these things without pain and having to stop all the time to catch my breath.

Best wishes to everyone!

Congratulations!

PHENOMENAL. Every one of you!

This is my first time posting pictures although I do have before and after photos in my gallery. I really don't know how to post pics. Hopefully the pictures come out right.

I was sleeved on 4/8/14. I am currently 8 months post op. I still have about 20 pounds more to lose until I reach my goal weight. The top photo of me in the black and pink dress was taken on 12/5/14 weighing 144lbs (my current weight). The other two photos are during the process, I believe sometime in July 2014. The bottom photo is from Nov 2013 when I weighed 219lbs. My highest recorded weight is 235lbs but when I began my weight loss journey in Sept 2013 my highest weight was 219lbs.

My VSG was on December 17, 2012. My highest weight was 380. My surgery weight was 275. As of this morning, I weigh 136lbs. The side by side is basically my before and after-except I weigh about ten pounds more in the "after" ( pic was taken in March ). The other is Easter.

You look fantastic! Job well done

I had my surgery on 5/6/14. I have gone from 255 to 185. From a size 18 to a 12. I am 36 5'4"z

I don't have many before pics cause I hated the way I looked...
