Huge milestone and hope for the New Year



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!

I just had to share this enormous milestone with you all. I am lucky enough to be able to ring in the new year with more hope and joy than I've felt in a long time. Before my surgery mid-August, I had a hard time believing I would lose anything at all, let alone be where I am today. I've met or surpassed all my goals, and when I woke up this morning, I was happily shocked to see that I was FINALLY into the 200s. This is a place I have not been in over a decade. I can't tell you how incredibly happy and proud I am, and just how lucky I am to have this chance to take back my life. Thank you, everyone, for always being supportive and inspirational. I hope your 2016 is absolutely kickass! :D

The before pic is at my highest ever weight, 442, and the current is this evening at 299!

@@Cervidae, you amazing woman, what a triumph you've created for yourself. You look so wonderful.

Here's a serious question....I have no tatts, therefore, no way of knowing what happens when someone loses oodles of weight. Has the bird at your shoulder changed? Did he land? Fly away? Go back to nestling size? Look larger? Is that the bird on top of your head in the "after" photo? It's the same color.

@@WLSResources/ClothingExch here's a before and current. I have already lost about 40 pounds in the before picture but it looks the same as when I was at my heaviest. All I've noticed it that its VERY slightly smaller, and slightly lower on my chest. Generally, it looks so similar to when I first got it that it's not even distinguishable. The hat is something I've been wearing for the past week because it was a hand-made gift and I'm in love with it. :P

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
