You look great! Really, congrats on a job very well done!

As of today I am BMI in the 25% range, but I still think I'm fat. I just keep seeing my awful flabby tummy and the fat that hangs off my saddlebags. Hard to change our self perceptions. Will take much longer than losing the weight.

You look amazing! Congrats

Thank you . Congrats to you as well . I think it's my stomach that bothers me . Working out , losing all this weight to have a flabby stomach . I'm looking into a tummy tuck but I have to be at least a year out my nutritionist days . Looking at pictures helps , and gives me motivation to see my before and after so far .

Wow, you really wear your weight well. You looked nowhere near 380 and still look nowhere near 240. You look great! Good job! I hope to follow your footsteps! Any tips?

I had the opposite problem..I did not think I was that overnight before surgery..but I saw pic of myself prior to surgery ..I was bigger than what my eyes saw. Trace your body on blocking paper ..then u. Can see how others see u through their eyes. Too bad u had not done this prior to surgery. Then u would have been amazed. U look great. We can surely see a big difference. Congrats. Yes and have that tummy tuck in the future if need be.

Thank you ! I am 5'11 , my height has always helped me that no one could guess I weighed that much . My recommendation is to follow everything the surgeon tells you ! I'm very strict with my diet , I exercise at least 4 days a week , and I don't cheat often , and if I do it's still something somewhat healthy . I still haven't tried beer , bread , or anything fried because I knew I needed a lifestyle change . I follow a lot of healthy clean eating people on Instagram if you like to learn new recipes . You can message me f you like I'll send them to you ! Good luck to you , we are all on this journey together!

Thank you . I didn't think about doing that . I can see the difference after looking at pictures , but I know I'm not the only one feeling like that .

You look amazing and yes I too still feel like I'm the same fat girl. I'm only down 40 but I look transformed. I did a double take at my reflection today.
