Hollyberries is Halfway there!

Guys,

Imagine my surprise when I stepped on the scale and it read 264lbs. I have lost 90lbs in 5 months. I cannot tell you how elated I am about this accomplishment. You see I have never lost more than 60lbs. in my entire life. I have always been the big girl and now I am seeing that butterfly emerge from her cocoon and it is a wonderful feeling.

I am posting some pictures for you to see the transformation. Thanks to a special friend that sent me 4 wonderful pairs of jeans. I am wearing them in last two pictures. The first two pictures are me at my highest weight of 354lbs. The 3rd picture is me 60lbs. lighter and the last two are of me today at 264lbs. and down 90lbs. Woo-hoo. I am halfway home. Oh yeah, check out the new haircut. Since I am losing my hair I decided it was time for a change up so I added layers. Loving my new hair and my new body...still got a lot to lose but halfway is something to shout about!

Guys! If I can do this you can. I was the worst at losing weight but the Band has been the best present I have given myself in a long time.

Cindy

You are looking good girl. That's quite a difference in your midsection! We have the same apple-shaped build. Keep taking pictures. You will want to remember the journey.

Congratulations Cindy! You look amazing! You are one heck of a success story already. Keep it up! :wink_smile:

Way to go girl!!! You look fantastic. I'm so proud of you!! :unsure:

WOW! Awesome transformation, Cindy. You look great and your hard work is paying off. I'm glad you got some new pants that stay up!

CONGRATULATIONS!

Wow Hollyberries!! What an inspiration! You look absolutely beautiful. Just imagine where you'll be in another 5 months. Keep up the great work =)

You look so good now. We actually weigh the same now but you look much better. You must be taller than me. I'm proud of you Holly.

Thanks Shortgal! You are so funny to remember that I lost my pants while working in my store. I still laugh about it now! Funny thing is that I wasn't even embarassed! Who would be?

No embarassment needed! Just say "oops, I'm getting so thin, my pants don't stay up". How cool is that!

Thanks Sharon...I am 5'10". So yes, tall. I have always carried my weight well because of being tall. However, I still weighed 354lbs. which seemed like a lot when I started but who would of thought that after 5 months I would be half way there.

Did you get that fill you needed? I really am with you on the fill. I have been starving...Not sure if it as a result of working out the last few weeks or that I need a fill. I know the last fill he brought me only to what I had prior which was 1.5cc's. I am going ask for 1.75cc's if he do it. I don't like that I can eat way more than I should. Today for lunch I had 4.5 oz. of chicken, 1/2 cup of rice and garden salad. I was satisfied for 4 hours but then ate a bunch of cashews because I was hungry...then grabbed two slices of ham with cheese rolled up. For dinner, we ate at Red Robin and I had an appetizer about 3/4's and some french fries...gotta admit I am stuffed but I can't stand that I can eat so much.

Here's to getting to the sweet spot dang it!
