So today I had the pleasure of having my hubby's company on my run(I run when he's at work usually) Both kids are at school so we had a nice time joking just being fun! Well we got home and he took this funny picture of me and I said hmmm "I want to put this on FB but look at my fat stomach!" Well after 10 seconds of soul searching I realized "screw that, to others it may look like fat/flab, but to me it's the loose skin I have to show for all my hard work, I'm gonna post that dang picture and not care what others think!"

HUGE VICTORY for this over critical self doubter(which is actually why I bought the shirt, the caption aimed at my own self deprecating self! Today I tagged my 6'2" hubby in that picture bc his 5' tall wife not only kept up, but she out ran him! Yayyyy! Thank you sleeve for giving me a chance at life again!

You look beautiful! Congrats! I have always thought about being and wanted to be a runner. I can't wait until I get clearance from my doctor. Keep up the good work.

P.S. I love the shirt!!!

Someone already explained but it's non scale victory...for me these mean a lot especially when the scale isn't moving as fast as it once was! Clothes becoming too big, mental hurdles overcome(as in this case), maybe even compliments from friends or family! This was a big a-ha moment for me!

Way to go CrissyRing77! Just for another perspective, I see your stomach and notice how flat (instead of round) it looks, and am green with envy! I"m walking still, but manage to jog a bit if i'm on the treadmill at the gym. I'd LOVE to be able to run - and sometime I'll get enough weight off and enough energy up to do so. Until then, know we're your cheering section and I for one consider you a success-story-role model. Good for you!!

Aww this made me tear up! I sure appreciate the support! We all are in this together! I have quite a large pannis (lower tummy) that hangs way down, but I'm wearing some pretty right pants for running otherwise is very painful, so think of it as Spanx lol! Sadly, I can't wear any bathing suits bc if hangs below them, which sucks bc I finally fit into my old ones, yet still need to wear shorts or a skirt, thankfully I'm on my way to a panniculectomy this summer! You will get there too! I just got over a huge stall where I only lost a few pounds last month, and very few the month prior, it's so hard, but these NSV are what really keep is going when the scale won't cooperate! Hang in there! Can't wait to here about you running someday!

Thank you! I'll be having a panniculectomy, which is just skin removal of the lower belly area. Later down the road after we have perhaps another child I'll have a Tummy Tuck, but this will make a huge difference for me bc it's super uncomfortable!

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
