I really MUST get someone to take a photo of me in a pair of my old jeans, its freaking hilarious. My 4 year old fits in them with me, with room to spare!

This is the hubby and I at my Aunt's lake house this past 4th of July. I am at my worst here. This is before my hubby started his new job and is required to loose weight and work out daily. He looks fantastic. I am miserable and can't wait to look as good.

I'm not where I want to be yet, but it's been 1 year, so I'm posting pics. I'm down 44 pounds from surgery date. Hopefully year 2 is even better!

Not sure if these will come out, and sorry if they are so big, I don't know how to make them smaller? I'm down 17 1/4 inches lost this month. I've lost a total of 41 pounds including my pre-op diet.

Just some updated pics of me at the gym this morning. For what its worth, I don't think that BMI is correct. I'm down to a 36" waist now and have 22" arms so I don't really consider that BMI number from TickerFactory to be accurate, but maybe someone knows more about it and can clue me in as to how those numbers are calculated.

Posting these pics is like therapy. Letting go of my "old" body is going to be harder than I thought. It's hard to believe that I am so much smaller...

Everyone looks amazing in this thread and it is so inspiring! I have always HATED cameras and did not take any true 'before' pictures. My friend encouraged me to take new pictures and dig up old pictures so I could SEE the difference and well I was kind of shocked once I put this collage together. I am still a work in progress but this is what I have so far...

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
