Thanks everyone! I hadn't really been seeing a difference but people keep mentioning it to me and I would kind of actually get mad in my head and say "they are saying that to be nice because they know I had surgery". Last night however, a co-worker who started shortly after I had my surgery, did not even know I had surgery and she said "wow Wendy, you look like you are really losing weight." Then I took a step back and realized that maybe I am visibly changing! I had to put these two pix side by side to see and now I can see it!

Thanks! It sucks knowing 40 lbs down and I'm not even half way there but the pics are a nice motivation! I just booked a trip to Cali for January and I'm hoping to be at goal by then which is 65 lbs away. We will see! That's good motivation at least

I take monthly pictures to remind me of what I looked like and my progress. Down 100 lbs and sometimes I still don't see it yes I know it's crazy but I didn't "see" me at 297 the same way I don't see me at 197 :( but the pictures they don't lie. My weight at it highest I still liked myself n thought I looked great dressed fashionable for my size etc ... So I do t see the loss at times still in shock when I pick up a large shirt and size 12 jeans and it fits I was a 18/20 3x shirt n 22/24 pants last year.

But the pictures keep me grounded and I am 2/3 towards my goal and enjoy each NSV and watching that scale move downward . The weeks when it doesn't move or nice slowly I look at what I have accomplished so far and it helps to keep me motivated.

So take pictures galore and buy a cute yet cheap outfit in the size u think u will be for ur Cali trip now bc it will fit for ur trip because you are doing this !!!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
