5 months post-op, 110 lost! Pics!

[hmk715 217]

I've now reached 110 pounds lost! That is more than my sister weighs haha I go around saying "I lost a Sammy" lmao And my mom keeps saying "Half-a-Hana" lol The feeling is incredible. I'm buying size 10 outfits, medium dresses... I'm working out and running a lot and just generally enjoying life so much more than before.

This past weekend I went up to NY for a family wedding. I hadn't seen a number of these people in a long, long time and the response was overwhelming. Some people cried, they were so happy for me and my success and my good health. I felt and looked incredible. It was just an incredible weekend. Below are a couple of before photos and the last photo is a small collage from the wedding!

Holy Smoke! You look fantastic hmk715!! I'm green with envy too (I had my surgery April 29 and haven't lost nearly that much - Down from 276 on surgery day to 208 today - I'm happy about it though). You do look so joyful and delighted, and beautiful both before and after. I hope you feel incredibly proud of yourself, and all of your hard work - it's paid off big time. Way to go!

@@hmk715 KICK ASS. GREAT WORK. That is truly great.

You look wonderful. Are your working out a lot? That seems like a lot of weight for 5 months. I am over 2 months and have only lost 42 pounds. Not sure I could even get close to what you have lost in 5 months. Great job! Jealous here too.

[Jordan861 124]

Wow you look amazing!

[lose4life2 152]

Wow!! One red hot lady!! You look amazing!! I can't wait to be in your shoes!! 6 days post op here.

@@SherB I lost 80 pounds in 5 months, 30 before surgery. And yeah, I do work out a lot and was foruntely able to start the week after surgery and haven't really stopped since. It's a big part of my success, really. I started with only cardio - walking, ellipticals, treadmill... Eventually started a couch-to-5K training app and 2 months ago I started with a personal trainer to help incorporate weight/strength training to work on toning the loose skin.

[hmk715 217]

Thanks everyone for the kind words and awesome response!!

You look fantastic! You are in my height weight range and thanks for inspiring me. I think surgery is going to be around late Nov. or Dec. I hope to have the same turn out as you
