Thank you... this has really been easy for me the physical part it’s just that I have gone through a lot emotionally since surgery..... my husband was not that great anyways n when I had surgery he really started being really ugly to me and then I found out he had been having an affair for the past 13 years .... so I divorced him. So I have been in an emotional roller coaster , but I thank God for his mercy and strength that he has given me.

You look incredible! I too am a week or so shy of 6 months. I have lost 49 pounds. Starting weight was 225. I had a 5 week stall after losing about 15 pounds but since then it’s been coming off about 2-3 pounds per week. I can’t believe how fast you lost your weight! And how great your tummy looks! I believe I’ve entered another stall. Haven’t lost for 2 weeks now. I would like to lose another 30 pounds. I’m now at 173 and I’m 5’4”. People are telling me how great I look and I’m so happy with how I look with clothes on but naked? Not so much. All my fat is in my middle and tummy and I know that’ll be the last place I’ll lose it.

Thank you so much. I hit the ground running as soon as I was cleared to do abdominal exercises... if you followed my posts , you will see that I posted an abdomen routine that my son gave me and I followed it to a T. However, I still have a little area of loose skin in my thigh area. So I’m not perfect but I’m okay with that. I was t perfect before the surgery either ?. Take it one day at a time and if worst comes to worst and your tummy has been stretched out too much, consult with a plastic surgeon about a tummy tuck. Good luck and congrats on your loss. Keep up the good work sweetie.

Yess you go girl!!! You look great!! Skin is lighter and glowing too!
