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.

You will do great ... stay focused on the diet. N thank you so much , this has changed my life

WOW, You look Awesome. Thank you for posting pics. I really needed some inspiration today. I have one more supervised diet visit this month before my paperwork is sent to insurance for approval. I also need to lose a few more pounds before then. Your pictures just gave me the motivation I needed to stick with my pre-pre op diet.
