14 Months Post Op Pic - 140 pounds & holding

  • Popular Post

Sorry...that's supposed to read "140 pounds lost and holding" but it wouldn't let me edit the title.....

I haven't updated in a while, so I thought I would share a pic I snapped from this morning, a little over 14 months post op. I've lost 140 pounds and I am holding steady, rocking a size 4!!! I would love to lose 5 more, but hey....considering where I started, if I never lose another pound, I am ok with that too. My life has definitely transformed in a lot of ways. I have more confidence, more energy, I've run a 5K, 10K, 1/2 marathon, and am currently training for my first full marathon, and I'm healthy which is one of the best parts! I know that I have a much better chance of being around for a long time for my kids. I've learned a ton about myself, loving myself, and my vices through this process.

Good luck to all of you at the beginning or in the middle of this crazy journey!

I agree! When I was pre-op sometimes these posts made me question myself and second guess everything. Just know that if you put in the work, you will be really happy with your results! :-)
