So I started my journey on October 30th 2015 at 540 pounds. This is the highest I've ever been. I had to be on oxygen because I was so overweight it was pressing against my lungs.

I had to do 6 months of a supervised diet and lost 60 pounds before my surgery and had my surgery weighing 480 pounds.

I had a horrible time after surgery as some on here may remember. I was in extreme pain for 3 weeks then extreme nausea for 5 months. The nausea was so bad I didn't eat or drink for over a month and had to get a picc line and give myself infusions overnight to get my fluids and nutrients.

They removed my gallbladder in October of this year and I started to feel much better.

I now feel great and am finally starting to be able to enjoy my smaller size! I'm having fun working out at the gym and I'm starting to feel pretty and trying to date.

I now weigh 336 pounds! That's 204 pounds down from my first weigh in and 144 pounds down since my surgery May 29th 2015!

I'm so excited to be going in the right direction! I just turned 30 in November and I can't wait to finally start living my life!

Here are some before and after pictures!

I have a friend and his wife that are quite overweight. He is 400+ and she looks like your second picture. I'm glad that I inspired him to lose some weight. He is trying hard! She on the other hand seems completely uninterested in trying. If she shows interest then I'm showing her this thread. You are doing AWESOME! By the way, you are also very cute.

OP you look stunning! Keep it up!
