So I am getting ready for work this morning....98 lbs down..

[**IP~LB** 279]

Hi All

So I am getting ready for my work day and I had to run back to my bathroom to get something I forgot. I got a glimpse of myself

in the mirror and I did a double take. So I snapped a picture. I was at my moms and she gave me the picture on the left. My jaw dropped. I was 317 or more in that picture. I can't even believe I let someone take that picture of me. I was definitely anti-pictures.

I realized that before I had lapband surgery in Dec of 2012 that I had actually lost 40 lbs on my own.

Needless to say I am very very pleased that I had this surgery performed. I have been keeping my calories under 1200 a day and been working out 4 plus times a week.

58 more pounds to go to my ultimate goal. I would like to lose 6-8 pounds a month to reach my goal. The more weight I lose and the better I feel in my clothes the more motivated I get to eat cleaner and cleaner. Not just stay under my calories but make every calorie count!

Hope everyone is doing well today. I had a couple of NSV's this weekend and am proud of myself and I wanted to share

Take care,

Reen

Wow.....Reen seriously you look like the daughter in your after picture. Like a mother daughter picture. Good gosh I just can't believe this huge difference. I only had my surgery 1 day before you and I don't have results like this.

Whatever you are doing keep it up. I am speechless. I just showed my husband.....

He is like "She is hot"
