Hit a big milestone today...I'm 9 months post-op & lost 100 lbs! So happy for myself though Still working towards goal. Couldn't be happier with my results & my decision to take this step towards a happier-healthier life. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner! I have wonderful support system and for that I'm so grateful. It's funny tho certain people (mostly co-workers) have not commented or asked me 1 question since surgery 9 months ago (which I was open about from the get go). I'm not sure what to make of that but truthfully my family & my "true" friends opinions are what matter to me. I feel like an ugly/angry weight has been lifted from my shoulders which left me feeling lighthearted & happy!

CONGRATS!!! I remember when I lost my first 100 pounds!!! ? It's the best feeling in the world. That was 2 1/2 years ago. I've kept that plus more off. It's hard work but well worth it!!!

Now for your co-workers, yes it hurts. The only thing I can think of is jealousy. You said the right thing in the beginning, you have the best support system! Many don't have that. Their also a success in helping you lose the 100 pounds. GREAT GOING! ? ?

Congratulations!! You look amazing!

Awesome work!! Thanks for sharing

Great work! You look fantastic!

You look great! Thank God you don't need your coworkers for validation, forget them! I can almost bet money its mostly jealously, so with that being said, don't give it ANY attention. Work on reaching your goal, and then coming up with a plan to maintain it!

WOW! [emoji847]

You are absolutely beautiful. I am so happy that you have been so successful. A lot of women are jealous and insecure with themselves so they aren't able to compliment. Thankfully you have a wonderful support system. Congratulations on all of your hard work.

You look amazing keep up the good work

Thank you all so much for your kind words & encouragement! It's nice to get positive feedback & please know that I'm grateful for it! Good luck to everyone in their own journey [emoji4]

No, I never heard that one! I'm gonna goggle a pic of her now tho [emoji6]

Congratulations! That is a great feeling! I remember those milestones! I am now down 238 pounds and my next goal is 300 down (well the first one it to get under 300 with is 2 pounds away!!). Congrats on your success! As for your coworkers...forget them! But sometimes some people don't know what to so or if they should say something. Try not to take it personally!
