Rose1up!

Remember to love yourself first otherwise you will never be happy. Get out of your funk woman! If your body is not making you happy... you got to figure out what will and do it. You are built just like my mom in this picture. In her younger years. The curves run in our family too. Stay positive please.... please... please!

The lighting isnt so great in this picture. The 1st picture in the black pants was last night. The other one was from the day of my surgery. I now wear skinny jeans.... I still have 50 to 55 lbs to go but I know I will hit my goal weight by my surgiversary! I can see the skinny woman inside. Soon... very soon!

Down 61 lbs. Now since Surgery date of 1-6-16. I will post pics soon.

I wore a bandage over mine until it healed so my bra did not irritate it. Me too. I didnt wear a bra for a long time. Right where that upper incision is ... is right at the crease when you sit. It was hard for me to heal and I wore steri-strips to hold it together. It did open up. Becareful with it so it doesnt get infected.

I saw that documentary. Theres another one about the Paleo Diet. That Paleo Diet is amazing. I loved it. Lots of cooking and lots of meat eating. Grass Fed meats. Great way to lose weight

Im down 57 lbs now. I feel like it should be 20 more off but I had another surgery on the 20th of April. Then an ER visit that pumped me up with 2 L of Sodium Chloride. Then a small stall. I still feel like I have a ton more to lose. Just moved out of my house and in a transition house 4 three 3 to 4 months until our new house is built. Then school starts up again on June 6th. So... Im hoping to drop some major weight in 3 more monrhs!

Lol. I have carbs but its the last thing I eat. If I have a sandwhich... then I have half the bread removed.

@@pr_pitbullgrl - thats the good thing.... you can have those cheat days and get right back on it and lose the weight. Right on and glad you had that down time

You look great and all the things you said... is so true! Im glad you are finally feeling that great feeling of "healthy". I dont like to say Skinny because... I guess I don't. My bff is also 98 lbs but shes like 5'1 or 5'. I think your journey has been great. Good work. Inspiring as always yo!

It will change your life. Best of luck to you.

Omg that's badass!!! Love that look!

PR_Pitbull... you are most welcome. Im at 49 lbs lost since 1/6/16. Im happy with my progress. I know there was a week where I lost 5 lbs. That was cool. I had another surgery (Gyn) on the 20th so I went backwards a few lbs. Because Im swollen but I weighed today and dropped 2 lbs. Again. Im looking foward to the weeks where the weight drops off quicker but thankful the scale is moving down. I dont want to have skin removal surgery so losing at this rate is great. Look at all the progress you have done and gone through and that the the weight is staying off. What color is Tron? I may have to do my nails like that!

Omg... love your car! Teal is my favorite color too. I just saw this picture. But woman... you look great!

No you dont! If youre a PIG then Im a PIG and we will be PIG's together! P= Pretty I = Intelligent G= Girl.... so there!! You look beautiful and you have lost a ton of weight. I know what you are going through. The Puerto Rican blood woman... we have curves. We have hips, thighs, and booty! Ive got PR and Hawaiian.... I know I will be feeling the same struggle you are... I already do but Ive embraced my curves.... keep happy and keeping toning!

Kimmey16... take a laxative. Ducolax to get you to move past the stall. The stalls are normal.

I still feel like I haven't lost weight. Its something we may have a long way to mentally get used to since we have been heavy for so long.

Right on! Look how far you have come too. Im thinking that 145 lbs will be my goal weight. Im 5'5 and think if I go smaller I will look sickly. I got curves too and thick legs so hoping that goes down as more weight comes off.

PR_Pitbull.... you look great! I love that teal color on you.

I make my Thai Tea from hot water and use the 1% milk and/or add honey or a sugar substitute. Its the bomb digitty! Keep up the hard work... you look phenom!

Thanks woman! I cant stand Chinese made anything. All crap!!! So good that you bought extra clothes. Imagine everyones faces if your dress came undone. Lol For your "pooch" - go to Jockey and get the undergarments there. Feels good like nothing is on you and diesnt constrict you but pushes that in. Drink Thai Tea... I get mine at World Market. That helps me.
