Sadly, I have been stalled the last 6+weeks. I've been doing Zumba twice a week and trying but no movement. Are you still losing? It's awesome how are stats are the same. Good luck to your husband!!

I'm doing great!!! SW 251....currently 150!! From a size 20/2x to a 6/medium! I couldn't be happier

Hey everyone!!! It's our one year anniversary!! Is anyone still out there?!? It's check in time

Wow!!! You look amazing!!!

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't been around. Life is good! I'm down to 157! 6 more pounds to hit 100 lbs gone forever! Trying to stay on track but sometimes that chocolate calls my name. I guess eating such a little bit has come part of my life. I dont realize it until we go out to dinner (which is rarely) and I can hardly eat anything. Even when I order an appetizer size. I am SO glad I did this. I'm wearing a size 6-8 and I don't ever remember wearing that size!! I hope you are all doing well! This journey has been amazing ????

We had my brothers wedding two weeks ago and I could finally see the transformation! I hope you are all doing well!!

Hey guys! Today was the day my weight is finally in the overweight category and not obese!! I am so grateful everyday for this journey. Yes, I now have bat wings for arms (they were the fattest thing on my body) and some extra skin on my stomach and legs.....but not too bad! However I am SO happy that I went on this journey!! Here's to all of our hard work and for having the courage to make this change!!

I think we should :-)

I can't believe it's been 6 months! I have no regrets. This journey has been amazing and I'm grateful everyday that I was able to do this. Almost 80lbs gone forever!! I go on the 29th for my 6 month check up and for the first time ever, I'm not afraid to step on the scale hoping to be in the 160's by then!! Hoping all is well with you all!!

Love it!!! Woohoo! Best decision ever!

Btw- my 13 year old daughter made that for me. I have been having her take pictures of my along my journey so I can see it!

That's awesome!!! I don't go for my 6 month check up until October 29th. I hit the 75 lb Mark this weekend. I was SO happy! Here is my updated pic from this weekend. Keep the pictures coming!!

I eat steak all of the time! I'm lucky that most things agree with me. The only think I can't do is anything w ally of sugar in it. Anything too sweet makes me sick. I eat what I want just smaller (really small) portions. 70+ pounds so far! My tool is working

Wow!!! You look amazing!! I agree ladies, it is SO hard to see the difference for us even though others see it all the time. I had my 12 year old daughter take pics before my surgery and then again a few weeks ago so I could see a change. It definitely helped! Here you go! Somehow I feel comfortable posting them here cause I wouldn't show my close friends or Facebook. I'm still so ashamed of the way I looked.

Hi everyone! It's been awhile since I've checked in. Going back to work after the summer was amazing! I'm pretty sure I will never get tired of hearing how great I look....lol! I weighed in this week at 181! That is a total of 70lbs lost!!! This truly was the best decision of my life. I feel so much better about myself. My new goal is now to get to 100lbs lost. This journey was never easy but I'm glad I finally did this for me! I hope you all are doing well and losing

You ladies make me smile!! I'm so happy to hear everyone's successes! I hit 185 today! Can't believe in April I was 251! I did talk to the Dr. This week about hair loss (she did blood work to rule out a thyroid issue since I haven't had a period since May and was calling to tell me all looked good). Same advice as everyone else. Get more Protein, take Biotin and don't stress about it because it's a normal part of the process. Easy for her to say! I'm trying to go 3 days without washing it to save as much as I can :/ I head back to work Monday......love being a teacher over the summer! Heading out tomorrow to shop. I've been trying for two weeks to find work clothes. It was easy before, I knew where to find fat clothes and how to dress my body. Now I have this new body and I'm unsure where to even shop! Heading out w some friends tomorrow to shop to bring the fun back. Btw. I did go into my classroom to set up this week and saw a few teachers I haven't seen since mid June. They were shocked! I'm certain I will never be tired of hearing how great I look!! My goal is to get back on track w eating healthy! I've been eating very little and need to up the protein! I hope you all have a great weekend!

Let me know what your Nut says! I would love any advice. I'm taking the biotin but I swear the only hair that is growing quickly is on my legs!! It's definitely working there! Lol! No period since May and hair falling out like crazy is worrying me!

It's everywhere here too. I started taking biotin too. No luck with it yet! I know it's "normal" in the process but it scares me!

Ahhhhh!!! The hair loss is out of control!! I'm so worried about being bald at the end of this journey! Luckily I have think hair but this is how much falls out just from washing and brushing it. Is everyone else losing this much??

Hi everyone! It's been a while since I checked in; April 9th 251 lbs April 16th 240 lbs August 12th 188 lbs Total lost. 63 lbs!! Goal weight. 151 ( I would love to say 100 lost) Struggle: my hair is falling out SO much!! I'm really worried. I haven't had my period since the end of may ( definitely not pregnant). I had a blood test to check my thyroid. Waiting on results. Anyone else experiencing this?? Success: last week over the course if a few days I walked over 15 miles. Doing 3-4 miles at a time. I'm happy with my progress. I haven't been at work since June so I'm excited to show off the new me when I go back at the end of the month. I have been shopping a lot! I have nothing that fits, even shoes! I went from a 18/20 and 2x to a size 12 and large. Even my shoe size changed! Have a great week everyone!! .

Woohoo!! 100 pounds! Congrats!!
