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!

@MissDonni I would just need a revision to my tummy tuck once I meet goal because I would have lost almost another 100 pounds and there will be more extra skin.

Congratulations!!! You look amazing. I am in the testing stage now and hoping to have my surgery in August. My insurance doesn't require supervised weight loss.

@MsNat3 Thank you so much! That's great! Good luck to you!

You look beautiful congratulations

I remember the excitement of FINALLY being under 300lbs! You look amazing, congratulations! I wish you well on your journey with skin removal. I've lost 437lbs and have had 5 plastic surgeries.

It took me two years to lose all of mine, but I had 400ish to lose! I lost 46lbs the first month.

I have had a lower body lift, inner thigh lift, medial thigh lift, lateral thigh lift and brachioplasty.
