HOW LONG IT TOOK AND WHERE I STARTED-

I started in November 2017, my appointments went quickly. I was held back by not doing well enough in nutrition classes. My surgery is scheduled for July 25, 2018. That's 8 months of waiting.

Hey everyone. I lost that ten pounds over spring break and I was feeling great. Now I’m in a rut and just waiting for school to be out so I can focus on my diet and exercise. 15 days until then!
And Laura, I am ready to enter Onederland, tipping over into an 18, good when I started in 28-30W and I could find them. Sweats were Men 4X from WallyWorld, like a Bad Dream now, and as I tople over out of Plus Sizes the fabric,colors and styles are like a trip to the Best Theme Park ever. Want one of everything, but I haven't stopped losing yet, I plan to be a skosh bigger than you,a 15 Junior, and I won't merely Try,I shall really do it!?????

That’s so great! I’m struggling with my food and exercise. I’m going to get back on track. I’m def. having a hard time but hoping to use this as a tool and put in the hard work.

So, I’ve had some success with NOOM. I haven’t lost weight but it has kept the weight off and it has gotten me to make some healthy choices that will be sustainable. Today is day 2 of my new low carb, high Protein diet. I’m hopeful. I’m looking at this picture to remember where I came from and motivation for moving forward.
