Goal!! 80 pounds lost before surgery and almost 70 lost since surgery!

Onderland and 3 pounds from goal...

Five months out (already)! 2 pounds from onderland, and 7 pounds from goal. After i reach 195, i may keep losing until my body adjusts, but ill just have to roll with it, just dont want to get too thin since im almost 6'0. But what a problem to have! God is good!

Only 12 pounds till i hit my target and i cant believe it! However i am worried. After i hit my goal, i really dont know how to keep from continuously losing weight and i dont want to get too thin. I dont want to be smaller than 190 because im about 6 ft. Also since i have lost close to 140 im starting to get plenty of loose skin..considering the amount of lost weight and my workouts its not too bad, but very noticeable to me. My breasts are through. I am very grateful to God for getting me to this point, i cant believe the weight loss portion of it is coming to the end and ill be hitting maintenance. I remember looking in the mirror two years ago at my heaviest of 345 feeling like there was no way i could get myself back down to a reasonable weight, but i knew i had no choice and now look what God can do! On my own i couldnt have done it, God gave me the strength and courage when i had none.

Hi everyone! Hope all is well! For many of us this will be our first Thanksgiving with our surgeries, so lets be good and remember why we did this! I am four months out and not gonna lie, now that i can eat what i want, the challenge is real sometimes, but im still losing, im 17 pounds from my goal weight, and 12 pounds till i hit onderland! I am very blessed and i feel soo good. May everyone have a wonderful holiday!!

Yesterday i celebrated my 34th birthday and i basically just reflected on my life and how much i have been evolving and changing. Life has had it where i all of a sudden have been running into alot of people from my past. Some have seen ginuinely happy for my growth, some have greeted me with fake smiles. Some have actually frowned at me probably not knowing that their mouth was saying one thing, but their face was saying how they really felt. Some people have asked what i have been doing to lose weight, stating that im so skinny now, they can hardly recognize me. People are a trip, and i thank God i am a very to myself person so negativity doesnt come my way often, or quite bother me. I am in my last year of nursing school and down 125 pounds and all praise goes to God, nobody else not even myself. It has not been my strength at all because i know i would have fallen without my faith. Just everyone, love yourself in spite of people and their reactions. Just know when you grow for the better, many will not be happy for you.

Hi! Hope everyone is awesome! I have one more notch down on my bmi and will be considered overweight and not obese. Man i havent been overweight since 2002 lol. So i am very happy to go from super morbidly obese of a bmi of almost 50 to now close to 30.

Cleared to eat whatever like two weeks ago, but im still sticking to the basics. I dont want to get sick so im not trying any new foods yet but man do i want some lettuce! Also had a thought in my mind that i really wanted and missed going to a buffet ha, those days are memories! I havent figured out how to eat out so i dont, but im having an itch to go out and do something, anything! But im so used to it revolving around food so dont know quite what to do. I guess i dont have the time anyway

231 pounds as of today. Is anyone else having trouble editing tbeir profiles?

Grateful for the beautiful people i have come across on this site! You all are awesome!!

I feel like a new person.

3 weeks and 2 days today and im down 20 pounds and i feel like it! I can really see the difference and im soo glad i had the surgery. No regrets at all!

One week and one day down from surgery and i am about 13 pounds down already. Unbelievable! I cant wait to get my first new outfit and get all dolled up and go out, i need it. Im so glad my horrible relationship ended in January, now i can experience my journey with no negativity or distractions and i can enjoy the new me!

Yes Lord! This woman is officially sleeved! Never say what you cant do or accomplish. If you want it, go for it, have faith, let your fears go, and believe!

Tomorrow is my last day of real food, i cant say unrestricted, there was no food funeral for me because my surgeon requires a weigh in the day before surgery and if you have gained surgery is off. My weight has been good though. Tuesday im clear liquids and then the big day!! Ive been busy all week getting last minute things done, laundry, shopping, pre cooking, i just cannot believe that what ive been dreaming of four years is finally here.

I cant believe, after almost a year of getting everything situated, my surgery is in only two weeks. No pre op diet and i meet with anesthesiologist next week.

Surgery getting closer and time is speeding by. I have learned to enjoy this last few weeks i have left with my stomach instead of rushing it in my mind because i know things are going to permanently change and ill be on a liquid/pureed diet for two months after surgery. So im not rushing it anymore. What will i miss most? Surprisingly the ability to gulp down my water after a workout and drinking with my meals
