I am beyond ecstatic. I am now below 300 pounds! I started at 540 pounds on October 29, 2015 when I started this whole journey. I had surgery on May 29, 2016 at 480 pounds and Now, 10 1/2 months later I weigh 297.8! I have not had a 2 in the front of my weight in FOREVER. I only have 98 pounds to go until I hit my goal! (Which may change, I'm more going for a clothing size goal now more than a number goal )

I used to have to be on oxygen all the time because I was so fat I could not breathe properly. Now I can walk for over an hour with no break and not be out of breath! I am so extremely happy with my progress!

I used to HATE getting my picture taken, it was the WORST. Now I love getting in front of the camera, I ASK for pictures to be taken! This is the craziest thing for me. I feel pretty for the first time in a very very long time.

I started out at a size 6x (36-38) and now wear a an 18/20 on top and 22 on bottom. I even wear leggings now!

I have a large hanging skin on my stomach which I am having removed on June 5th! I will need a revision surgery when I get to goal but I am very excited for the surgery and the relief it will give me.

Here are some before and after pics for you guys!

You look amazing! What is the revision for?

@SassyScienceNerd Thank you! I really am! I'm planning on doing an indoor sky diving thing soon!

@chynadoll619 Thank you!! I just meant a revision to my extra skin removal on my stomach. I may need to have an additional surgery once I meet goal since I still have about 100 pounds to go!

@madamlashThat you so much!

@sarahbluAww! Thank you so much! I'm just glad I get to share my journey with people who understand!

@Deactivatedfatgal Thank you so much! It would be for the extra skin on my stomach. I may need more removed once I reach goal.

I started out at 230, wondering if I will need arm lift.

What an inspiration!

You look great! Keep up the good work

I'm still a little behind on abbreviations. What's nsv, and sv?
