Hey all! I haven't posted since the very early days out...I was sleeved on 10/2/13 at 273 pounds. I reached goal in 9.5 months which was 159 pounds which would put me at a normal bmi. At about 8 months post op I started running. That was a game changer! I have since completed a triathlon, a 5k, 2 10ks, 4 half marathons, and on January 25th, 2015 I became a marathoner! I went on to lose and additional 20 pounds and I've been maintaining 20 pounds below goal ever since. From a size 22/24 to a size 2/4. I eat clean and train hard! I am really living my best life now!

You are my HERO! Bad ass and beautiful.

Thanks Jenn!

Wow!!! You look amazing. You will be my inspiration girl! I do have a question. How did you get your arms to look like that without having hanging skin? I'm afraid of having hanging skin and won't be able to wear sleeveless clothes. How often do you work out and what do you do? Again, you rock!!!

Congrats! You looks truly awesome- healthy and happy. Great work!

Beautiful!!!!...Now this is what am talking about, u look fabulous!!!

I worked out every single day of 2014 as a challenge. I was lifting weights 2-3 days per week and doing yoga once a week and running all other days. Lots of body weight exercises (burpees, yoga, push-ups,planks, etc) will have you toned up in no time! Consistency is key.

Now I am working out 5-6 days a week doing weights one day, Orangetheory one day, yoga one day and running all other days.

Thanks for posting your update! You looks so strong, beautiful and happy! Congratulations on all that you have accomplished!! You are a rock star!!
