so today is one year since I had my surgery, I started at 249lbs or 17stone 11lb

As of today I am 128lb or 9stone 2lb

I have had good times mostly and a few down days but overall no regrets and who knew you could actually enjoy running

Once again beautiful people thank you all, This past year has been a bit of a roller-coaster emotionally, mentally and of course physically.

Although the scales were moving downwards my mind still saw the 249lb, I would shop for clothes with one aim … is it black and can I fit into it.

Shopping is still a challenge but instead in a good way, I have choice.

The best thing I did was get a personal trainer who I started with as soon as I got the 6 week all clear from the surgeon. I think this is why I have been lucky with the excess skin, although I am sitting on the fence about having the excess skin removed from my abdomen.
