You all look FABULOUS!!

Congrats on all the hard work, it sure is paying off.

It's rocky going for me right now on this plateau but I intend to crush it! My weight loss has slowed to 1.3 pounds per week and that is TOOOOO SLOW for me.

I will get a before/after pic posted soon.

:tongue2:

I posted my pics under Photos...Marilyn's progress. Everyone says you can see it in my face. I need to get some full body shots taken soon though. The frustrating part is I continue to lose more on my bottom half vs. the top, which is where I need to lose it the most. But I recently changed up my workout and I am starting to see and feel progress!

You are gorgeous.. you have to be thrilled at the progress.. imagine in 41 more pounds....

A few weeks ago I was at a 37 pound loss so I am hoping I topped 40 LBS by now.. but will wait to get to the doc to get weighed...

I was doing so great last month that I even cancelled a fill appointment... (they won't do one if I lose 10 pounds in a month.. they don't want me to lose too fast which I think is just fine)...

This month I am keeping it though..

I continue to have weird episodes with food.. yesterday was eggs... maybe I took too big of bites.. don't know.. but it shut me down for a while:):P

I have a photo Album Jen's Progress I think...

But here is a before and the most current about a month ago...

I hope you can see the photos.. I have no idea how to put them in so I did two attachments..

We will see when I post it...:tongue2:

The first pictures in purple are from middle of July, 2009 -287 . I started meeting with my Dr. for my 6 month supervised diet August 5th.The second pictures in teal are from Memorial Day weekend - 188.

I've lost almost 99 since starting meeting with my Dr/Dietitian and 54 pounds since the start of my pre-op diet. I'm down 124 from my highest weight of 312.

I ran my first 5K May 8th. I'm running an 8K this weekend, 5K's the next 2 after that and another 8K July 4th. I signed up for a 10K towards the end of October, I'm a little nervous about that one... I can't believe that I'm a runner!

I love my band!

WOW OH WOW!!! Amazing czynth! I'm ashamed to say I've yet to start the working out part of this. I'm a single working mom and I've used every excuse I can come up with. But you know what they say about excuses....

I've been making poor food choices and slacking on the exercise for the last couple weeks - that's why I'm running the 8K this weekend - to make my ass get off the couch! My staple foods for the past 2 weeks have been fish sticks, chicken strips (both baked, but that doesn't make it much better) and mashed potatoes... I think I'm in my first lazy phase (with many more to come, I'm sure). I still managed to lost 5 pounds this month, but I can only imagine how bad it's been for my body!

txprincess - I love working out and I STILL have days when I just don't want to do it :tongue2: They charge for the races so at least it gives me incentive to get out and train! And I get a shirt for going to them!! I love new shirts!

And since I didn't say it before, TX, Sawyer and Jen you all are looking great!!

I can honestly say I am happiest about the improvements in my health and mobility. But feeling better about the body I'm living in is definitely a fringe benefit. And... ALL THE CLOTHES!! My husband keeps commenting that I'm forever buying clothes, I keep telling him its only because I'm shrinking out of them so fast! (couldn't be because for the first time in my life I can find clothes :eek:) I've gone from a 24 pant to 12 and from 2XL(26/28) tops to M (some L depending on clingy-ness). Love it! Its so nice to be able to try on a bunch of things and pick the one that looks the best instead of just the one that fits. I've been overweight since I was 11. I never got to dress "cute". It is definitely a nice perk. And I love the sales!! I went shopping last Friday and got 4 shirts, 3 for $2.80 each and 1 for $5.99.

Ok, I'm done now. I don't mean to sound like I'm self-centered, I'm definitely not. I just try not to talk about it to most of the people around me, so as to not be annoying about my weight loss - it's nice to be able to talk to people who understand how exciting it is!

LOVE all the pictures! I have to admit, it's hard to see changes in my own pictures, because it's me (and I've seen me my whole life!) and I look at the pics all the time, but when I look at others' pics, I can really see the WOW factor! Keep those pics comin'! :thumbup:

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
