Progress pic 2 and a half months out. 35 lbs down. i've dropped 2 pant sizes and even though I have a ways to go...The girl in the pic before surgery was sad, embarrassed, insecure...but now my confidence is climbing up again and I'm learning to love myself as I'm losing the weight. I've found that I'm not hiding. I put effort into how I present myself because I'm not worried about having to shop now. I'm so happy with my progress and how I'm practicing self love instead of self sabotage. This was yesterday and I was really feelin myself before I left for work. When you feel good about yourself, and love yourself, you have this light that shines and man people have been noticing the difference too. Hope you're all doing well on your journeys!

You are really looking great. Keep up the good work as you are doing an awesome job.

I think I am still scared to take pictures of myself as the reflection in the mirror is still the same to me. I'll post someday.

You look great! I just got sleeved 1 weeks ago today and my starting weight was the same as yours do you have any issues with loose skin??? Do you exercise?

You look amazing girl! Keep it up [emoji1417]

Wow! You look great! Our starting weights are very close so it's quite inspirational to see such a dramatic difference in a couple months...

Hi there, thank you so much.

I don't have any issues with loose skin yet. I don't workout right now. My plan is to lose the weight first and then tone. I think that I would get discouraged if I started to gain muscle and it added weight to the scale...idk that might be stupid but I'm waiting til I drop a substantial amount of weight before I start toning up.

I see small differences but I'm learning to love myself as my body is morphing into what it's looking like. When I was this weight maybe a year ago, I HATED myself, and now...i'm like oh hey look at you, putting effort into the way I dress and feel. I have never been this confident at this weight ever in my life and I'm like, OK you are rocking 192 lol. It's just different this time around.

I do regret really not taking any before photos right before surgery though. This before photo was a picture that was taken of me that I was soooo embarrassed of, so I'm using this as a before photo. lol

@ornament17 aww thank you!!
