Thank you all for the positive comments. I started my Journey on May 31, 2013 and it took me about 10 months to lose all my weight. I am now 144, and I am proud that I haven't gained any of it back. I went from a 24 jeans to a 6/8, from a 2xl top to a small top.

In May 31, 2013 so a little over 2 years. I've been at goal for a year now, Just trying to tone up. I love that I lost my weight, but I still have body image issues, just different ones. Lol

You look amazing. Great job

Please don't be so hard on yourself. It will work I promise. Everyone loses at different rates. I actually gained 5 pounds the first week because of all the liquid, ivs and I wasn't able to poop lol sorry for the tmi. You will be ok.

I love Levi Leggings, so stretchy and give so much.

Lol it will adjust I promise. I was the same way.

Thank you

Thank you

You look absolutely beautiful. Great job.

I was intimidated to join a gym as well, but I got over it. I started squatting and doing the machines, so for example on leg day I would do leg press, squats, and thigh master and on arm day I would machines that focused on my arms. At first I felt silly, but then I realized that everyone is there with the same goal to workout. The stair masters are awesome too.

Thank you and congratulations on getting your date. I started working out 3 weeks after surgery. No lifting just walking. The first time I did 20 minutes on the treadmill, just walking, then I moved up to 30 minutes. I also did 2 miles on the bike. Remember it's not a race. As long as you stick with your meal plan and walk 30 minutes 5 times a week you will be successful. I am a year out now and don't do Cardio just lifting.

Thank you.

As far as makeup brands I love Mac, it gives you wonderful coverage and they have so many fun colors. I also love Dior cover up but that is a little pricy. I only use that on special occasions.

I love this post. I am obsessed with Lipstick and high heels. I would never enjoy wearing heels. My husband would beg me to wear them. Now that I am 112 pounds lighter you can't get me out of them. I have so many and in very fun colors. I love Vera Wangs collection.

Hi, I started my weight loss journey at 267 I am now 155. I thought I would be happy at 155, but I honestly want to lose 10 more pounds secretly I want to lose 20 more pounds, but I keep hearing from Family and Friends to stop losing weight, that I look great and would look sick if I lost more. I am 5'7 so according to my Bmi I am with in normal weight just by the skin of my teeth lol. I wish my family would be more supportive. They are throwing things out like I may have an eating disorder lol. I just want to feel better about myself. I am currently a size 10, I would love to be a 6.

Thank you all for the kind words. I also have jiggling arms and tummy but I will take that any day over being obese.

You are absolutely beautiful. Congratulations on your hard work.

Congratulations on all your hard work and dedication. Keep up the wonderful job.

I have lose skin in my tummy area but as you can see in my pictures I hide it well. My arms also have a lot if skin but you take the good with the bad. [ATTACH]46066[/ATTACH]

I started at 267 and I am now 155. [ATTACH]46060[/ATTACH]

I am 5'7 at 155 and a size 10. Hope that helps.

I am proud to say that I am at my goal weight of 155. I started at 267 and have lost a total of 112. I just didn't think how my body would look like after I lost so much weight. I look great with clothes on but I still have my insecurities. I honestly thought that if I just lose this amount of weight I will be ok, well I've lost that amount and now don't know what to do with myself lol. Does anyone else feel like this? Will we ever be truly comfortable with our bodies? I do workout and trying to tone up, but no amount of working out will fix my lose skin. I know I could do a tummy tuck but I have other things to spend my money on and they call me mommy lol. Ok rant/ vent is over. Thank you for listening. I guess I just want to know that I am not alone.
