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!

Looking better every day, good luck in June it is going to make a world of difference for you!!! [emoji4]

Sensational! Keep your eyes on the prize! Yes your surgery in June will provide even more motivation for you. Will the surgery be covered by insurance, or will you have to pay out of pocket?

I'm so proud of you and happy for you. You have put in so much work and I'm so glad you are getting to enjoy the rewards. It is wonderful being able to do more.

All the best to you!

Talking about some serious weight loss. I wear 36 but I'm 394lbs and I know what it's like to not breathe when walking. Pixiedust you are my inspiration. I'm going to follow you. You are me. ?

@Sosewsue61 I am very happy! Thank you!

@charsarie How far out from surgery are you? If you are having issues I suggest calling your doctor! I did have issues with extreme nausea for 6 months after the surgery. So severe I did not eat or drink anything for over a month and had to get a picc line in order to infuse fluids and nutrients. I suggest giving your doctor a call!

@Julie norton Thank you! I am still surprised when I fit places I never could before! I am still in the mentality of "I cant fit there or do that because I'm so fat" But I'm not anymore!

@SuaniyaThank you so much!
