You look sooo amazing, as ever. I continue to look to you for inspiration.

You look amazing! Keep it up, you'll be there in no time!

You look beautiful! Congrats on such a fast loss! I don't think I was down that much in 2 months and I started much higher than you.

If you saw my stomach you would know why! LOL. I have had two vertical c-sections though and either way I would like to get rid of the scar that runs from my belly button to my.. you know.. Maybe I will post a picture of my stomach in the plastics forum at some point but I have to wait a year anyway. A lot can change in a year.

On 03/09, which was about my 6 month mark, I weighed in at 214.6.. putting me 87.8 lbs down. I have been training for a half marathon that I am SUPPOSED to be doing in January, but there are some things going on that are very likely going to prevent this. I was running 5 times a week, 40-60 minutes every morning. I would run as far as I could in 20 or 30 minutes and then find my way back, LOL. Also started training for the MS150. The left side of my left leg from my knee down has been numb for 2 months and when it started I cut down to 3 days a week running and last week my foot went numb causing me to trip over my toes. Ironically, I had two MRIs last week that are primarily testing to rule out MS, but the more likely culprit is idiopathic peripheral neuropathy.. These are in NO WAY connected to my sleeve. Just a really bad hand that I have been dealt at the moment. When I know what's up I will have to reassess. Honestly, I am just REALLY glad that this happened near the end of the loss phase and that I have a sleeve of steel that still has a pretty low capacity.

Just under 5' 8" according to doctor. I always use 5' 7.5". Thank you everyone!

My suggestion would be not to worry about it right now. You can't do anything for a year after reaching goal anyway and so maybe your circumstances will have changed. I sure hope mine will. Right now I can't afford them myself, but I've had two babies (one 8 lbs 14 oz), both vertical c-sections and I've lost 138 lbs at this point. I've shrunk up a lot, but I know that I am going to need a tuck when all is said and done. Don't let this bring you down now.

You look simply beautiful. Great loss!

Model material indeed! You look amazing! Congrats on your big loss!

Absolutely amazing! Congrats!

Oooh.. Another one.. My closet is full of form-fitting, brightly colored shirts!
