I am pleased to say that I have reached my goal, yaaayyy. My goal weight was 150 lbs but I weighed myself this morning and I am 149.8 lbs. This has been a hard journey mentally but for me( many of you know I have gone thru a divorce as well ). My starting weight was 242lbs, day of surgery 12/5/16 I was 219 lbs, and 8 months later I am 149.8 lbs. 7 lbs away from almost losing 100 lbs. I feel so good right now about myself. Not just because of how I look but how I feel inside. I'm starting to love me flaws and all. I am working on the mental side of things with prayer and supplication. God is a healer and I'm trusting him to keep me. I thank all of you on this site for your support , it has been epic on this journey. I so truly appreciate you. The encouragement I received from total strangers has far outweighed what I received from family and friends. Thank you again. Hope u like the pics.

Thank you girl! I just hit the floor running as soon as I was cleared for exercise i bought an elliptical and wore it out and I did every ab exercise I could. Stayed with my protein intake and water and this is what I got . But honestly I been at like 154-156 for like 2 months so since like July I have been in the 150's.

Hi and thank you Allie. I appreciate it. We are the same height with same goal weight! I saw that your fantasy weight is 135. I am 149 and people swear I'm like 130Lbs but it's my height so when u get to 150 see how you feel and look because you may look fabulous and have no need to get smaller.

Yeah, you're so right! When I was 148 I was so small. I also have to keep in mind that there's a weight that maintaining, like 135, may be way too insane. I wear a 6/8 at 145/150 and I would be SOOOOO happy there! Heck at this point, I'll take a size 16!! You look so good!! I am so impressed!!!!!
