Hollyberries is Halfway there!



Recommended Posts

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

90 pounds!! What an accomplishment!!!!

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.

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.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
