I’ve been stuck at 147 lbs for three weeks and it’s starting to mess with my head. Today’s my birthday so I took some new pictures and looking at the comparison is really helping me deal with the emotional aspect of stalling and realizing how far I’ve come. I also bought myself a full length mirror for the first time in my life and I’m excited to hang it up!
@redhead_che - you look incredible and you’re an inspiration! I can’t wait until my scale reads that number, although my stomach will never look that good in a bikini ?

You look absolutely amazing!!! Congrats on your outstanding progress!!!

Officially down 80 lbs since January 2017!

Wow that's incredible you look terrific. I've lost 120 total but I'm very concerned. I've had to have surgery on my foot and I can't walk for 5 weeks. I know I've gained some weight back and I'm worried about getting back into my old habits.

Omg.. I'm so impressed. You look so great.. I'm hoping I can have as much success as you did. I'm having some setbacks at the moment. Everyone please pray for me

Thanks! Honestly most of my workouts are HIIT style (30 min avg) including free weights and keeping my heart rate up. My exercise ideas come from my coworker (bless her) or Pinterest—I literally have a whole Pinterest board dedicated to examples of workouts. It’s got so many resources and options to save and go back to!

All of my WLS stuff is on private boards, so they would not show up to anyone that follows me Sorry! Most people that follow me on pinterest are not aware of the surgery. While I'm not hiding it from anyone, I'm not broadcasting it either

I got called skin and bones today and I’m not sure how I feel about it ??‍♀️ But I did buy a cute romper!

The most unusual stuff that I do regularly. Is protein mugcakes (syntrax protein, coconut flour, baking powder skim milk microwaved)

Or premier protein milk shakes (which is basically freezing a premier protein throwing it in a blender with some skim milk Splenda and either sugar free vanilla pudding mix or pb2 powder)

Both easy filling very tasty and practically all protein.

Here's a non-scale victory: being able to fit into AND BUTTON this cardigan for the first time since 2014.

2014 on the left, today is on the right.

Just over three years ago I met with my personal trainer, Erin, for the first time. During that first session she asked me what one thing is that I would love to be able to do, but can’t due to my size. My response..... ride roller coasters again! She promised to help me get there as long as I put in the work, and that she’d go with me when the time came. So here we are this morning heading to King’s Island to conquer them all! This amazing lady supports me, encourages me, and kicks my ass with her workouts. She even took the time to learn about sleeve surgery so that she would know the best way to help me afterwards.
