You look great. Don't let a label drive you crazy!

Jenjo, you really do look fantastic You have come so far! I totally relate to what you're saying. I'm 10 months out as of yesterday. I am THRILLED to be where I'm at but I don't want to be done yet! I feel like I have to work much harder now for ANY loss and I'm not sure how to jump start it again. I am also around a size 12 but still feel "big" because of the skin flap below my belly button. My cardio is done in a dance studio. I compare myself to the other ladies (all younger and smaller) and that is just never good. I just shouldn't even go there, comparing myself to others is just dangerous territory.

Just this morning I was telling myself "Sherri, its time to re-group and get this going again!" I'd like to lose another 10 by my year anniversary.

Truly - you look great!

Jenjo you really look amazing! You sure don't look "big" in your photo. You look so tiny in that black dress (unless that isn't really you, lol). However, I truly understand how you feel. I'm 6.5 months out and have lost just 5# in the past 2 months. Im starting to believe that I'm not going to lose the last 25# I need to lose (all stomach). We bot should probably take Cowgirl Jane's advice and up the exercise and lower the carb intake.

Good Luck!!!

You look great but I totally understand. I was a size 4-6 most of my life until I lost control and gained 100 pounds in 5 years. Now, although I've been sleeved and am going back down, no double digit sizes will ever make me happy, that's for sure. So I get it. I wouldn't give up, though. I'd go low carb, high intensity training - weight training, too. Do you run? Running is what kept me a size 4 late into my 40s. I'm too heavy to run now - but will as soon as I'm able. There are tons of 5k training apps to get you started.:-)

You are a beauty! You have come so far in just one year. Celebrate what you have done for you and your life. The journey you have been on is impressive and I hope you truly take a few moments to realize the gift you have given to yourself. 95 pounds......95 pounds. I can't wait till it is my turn to be sleeved and my journey begins. Some day I hope I will be able to say I lost 95 pounds! I'm proud of you and hope you take the time to be proud of yourself. You are full of awesomeness!
