It's been a whole year since I took control of my life and had RNY gastric bypass. I've had ups and downs and physical delay after delay(chronic Lupus flares, swollen joints, torn rotator cuff, loss of ability to use my right arm, etc), but here we are! It's been one year and I don't regret it for one moment! I am not where I want to be YET, but I will get there. Here are my stats: hw:429lbs sw:386 cw:220lbs

Congratulations on your massive weight loss.

You know you're fabulous, right? Oh how I love these before and after pics. It's not just the weight loss, but the smile on your face, the haircut, the makeup...all of it. How wonderful to see in all of us, the blossoming that comes from being comfortable in our own skin. Congrats.

160+ pounds in one year after all those hurdles?! AMAZING!

That is amazing. You should feel really proud!

Thank you all. When I first started out on this path I didn't believe I'd really make it to this point. Honestly I thought if I could just get below 300, I'd be happy. What I have gotten back this year has been amazing! You get out of it what you truly put into it and I plan to keep on chugging with my many hurdles til I reach that final goal line. I can see it's possible now and I want people to know that it really can happen and will happen, but you have to get up and put up the fight every day even when you are sick or injured or depressed. It's hard and when you backslide to a bad habit you need to pick yourself up, give yourself a scolding, and get back on the right track. I got more bad medical news yesterday afternoon about my heart and my autoimmune diseases being more aggressive than we would want, but I'm fighting to stay "sober" and stay on my plan and keep chugging forward. You may never be a size 2, honestly at 5'9 it's just not reasonable for some of us, but you can be so close to your goal a year from when you start...just start and see it through! ❤️ I went from a 34w/36w to a size 12/14 in one year!!!!!!

You look amazing, you've done a great job.

I'm sure you feel better, my sleeve day is Dec 7, can't wait.

You are giving us a postive sense.
